DeFi Education Fund’s Post

Yet more proverbial creep, creep, creep, as I’ve written on on numerous occasions on this same platform, regarding the oncoming avalanche towards a globally coordinated system - superstructure - of regulations for the “crypto” space. There will be lost degrees of freedom as a result. That, in turn, has implications for privacy or, perhaps more pointedly, anonymity of & behind complex transactions &/or transfers, remittances, etc. New forms of “money”, if one chooses to use such equating language, will be accompanied by & with new forms of regulation. And these new regulations will be carefully coordinated across the globe with all its varying governmental regimes. This is an inevitability, rightly or wrongly: it’s also a necessity for fairly obvious reasons that need not be enumerated here.

Blockchain has long held the potential to solve the finance industry's biggest challenges. Lower transaction costs. Faster reconciliation. Reduced counterparty risk. New innovation avenues to explore. With deep experience in traditional finance, we at Polity Network understand the potential of blockchain and DLT. Per the below article from CoinDesk, we're not alone in that understanding: "Institutions, once wary of the nascent and unregulated nature of digital assets, are now stepping into this space, encouraged by clearer regulatory guidance and more sophisticated financial instruments." Regulatory compliance while supporting financial innovation is core to the vision for Polity Network. That's why we're building the Polity Network marketplace for the coming wave of institutional adoption. Read the full article below: https://lnkd.in/gEkXuWTq

Blockchain makes a big promise of true decentralization and radical transparency. But so far, the space hasn't fully lived up to that promise. In this CoinDesk article, Flipside CTO Jim Myers explains why there's still so much centralization of wealth and power in Web3, and what we can do about it: https://lnkd.in/edU3M3Ua

Recent reporting from CoinDesk and Fortune suggests the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is preparing to classify ether (ETH), the native token of the second-largest blockchain, Ethereum, as a security. The move would undoubtedly have severe repercussions for the entire crypto industry, including derailing plans for an spot ETH exchange-traded fund.

The real promise of blockchain technology lies in the assets themselves. Consider how assets operate today. Various systems are needed to run vital processes such as pricing an asset, distributing interest and dividends, and communicating with investors. With tokenization, we could incorporate these processes into the asset itself. Given a tokenized asset is capable of executing automated processes on its own, we could eliminate the need for potentially dozens of systems working behind the scenes.

“ In a system like that, digital money would only add friction and potentially become useless. Or would it? Although fascinating, this reality faces at least two significant hurdles before it can come to pass. First, the number of transactions could quickly overwhelm even the most efficient blockchain. (…) The econd hurdle for tokenized assets to replace money is legal”. #tokenization #blockchain #defi

Staking in the world of cryptocurrency has faced its share of misunderstandings and challenges, often due to misleading practices in the market. It's crucial to differentiate between legitimate staking and what can be called "staking" in quotation marks, which may obscure the risks associated with these activities. Legitimate staking involves locking tokens directly on a blockchain with operators or validators, allowing participants to retain ownership of their tokens while supporting blockchain operations. On-chain staking is transparent and observable on the blockchain, making it a lower-risk activity. https://lnkd.in/dJ4X4zg5

"The introduction of #ETFs and institutions could disrupt the cyclical price pumps that have historically trailed the #Bitcoin halving. This could signal an end to crypto’s four-year bull/bear cycle and be the beginning of a whole new era for #crypto."
