Centralized vs. Decentralized Exchanges in Crypto: What’s the Difference? 🔹 BlockMap

Cryptocurrency has transformed how people think about money, ownership, and financial freedom. But before anyone can buy, sell, or trade digital assets, they usually need to interact with a crypto exchange. In the crypto world, exchanges generally fall into two categories: centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

Like other exchanges, Crypto.com has filed a national trust bank charter application. A national trust bank is a limited-purpose national bank, and as such can provide custody, safekeeping and other fiduciary services nationwide.

Note: it is NOT a full-service commercial bank and does not take FDIC-insured deposits or make traditional loans. Accounts will likely be “skinny” master accounts that do not pay interest payments on account balances or provide overdraft protection.

The filing is not an approval, and Crypto.com’s proposal targets institutional custody rather than consumer deposit accounts. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/crypto-com-files-national-bank-155451459.html #Crypto #CryptoExchanges #CryptodotCcom #NationalTrustBank #Banking #FDIC

United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has filed a lawsuit against digital asset exchange HTX, formerly known as Huobi, accusing the platform of unlawfully promoting cryptoasset services to consumers. HTX is tied to Justin Sun, who serves as an adviser.

HTX breached the country’s financial promotions regime by targeting UK users without proper authorization or registration. HTX had been previously warned on multiple occasions going back 2023.

“The FCA has commenced civil proceedings in the High Court against HTX, a global crypto exchange, for unlawfully promoting cryptoasset services to UK consumers,”.

Violations constitute a criminal offense, carrying penalties of up to two years in prison, an unlimited fine, or both. https://cryptonews.com/news/fca-moves-against-htx-in-london-over-illegal-crypto-promotions-warning-to-other-exchanges/ #Crypto #CryptoExchanges #HTX #UK #UKFCA #CivilLawsuit #Lawsuit #CryptoCurrencies #DigitalAssets

Crypto and Regulation - Wake up People!

"the crypto ecosystem poses real and growing challenges. An approach to crypto regulation that prioritizes public safety and long-term economic resilience is not only sound policy, but a necessary safeguard for the broader economy."

See Table 2 - Example Policy Recommendations towards the bottom of this piece - it's good.

One important measure would be prohibiting elected officials and high-level public servants from holding or promoting cryptocurrencies while in office. Doing so would help preserve impartial policy making and reinforce public trust. Examples:
1) Requiring public financial disclosures of crypto holdings by officials.
2) Banning crypto token launches, endorsements, or promotional activities by officeholders.
3) Prohibiting elected officials from investing in or advising crypto firms while in office.
