okenCard will be first of its kind to bring VISA payments to the Ethereum network, allowing users to spend Ether and other ERC20 tokens at any online and PoS terminals that accept VISA credit and debit cards.

The new ERC20 token, (TKN), was generated earlier this month on May 2, 2017, as part of the TokenCard’s ‘token creation’ phase. Token holders can expect a pro-rata allowance in the form of a number of different Ethereum tokens that accrue to the ‘TKN Asset Contract.’ Interested investors and enthusiast can download the company’s whitepaper and register for updates on the TokenCard website.

In addition to providing a viable solution for the underlying Ethereum community, TokenCard, by design also aims to improve the entire debit card and banking services ecosystem considerably. The Ethereum blockchain has an enormous potential to meet the challenging requirements of prime sectors like international remittance and asset management, and the use of such innovative technology will greatly benefit TokenCard.

TokenCard has previously partnered up with asset tokenization platform Digix Global, in a bid to produce debit cards that will be backed by gold instead of money. This project marks the beginning of the company’s aim to bring many more exciting projects to fruition in the near future. TokenCard intends to use its head start with smart contract-backed debit cards to push the company’s project forward and propel it to become a leading company in the Ethereum world.

TokenCard is initially granting only token holders with the payment utility, but the company’s intention will be to make the product available to all users soon. The company aims to offer

ABD’li düzenleyici SEC, kısa mühlet evvel bir dizi altcoin’i menkul değer olarak sınıflandırdı. En ilginci, dün bir mektupta yer verdiği Filecoin (FIL) oldu. Bu karar trader ve yatırımcılar için kimi olumsuz sonuçlar doğruyor.SEC’in menkul değer etiketi altcoin yatırımcıları için ne manaya geliyorSEC, 1933 tarihli Menkul Değerler Yasası kapsamında oluşturulan standartları uygulayarak ve birkaç değerli mahkeme kararını daha hesaba katarak, birçok altcoin’in menkul değer olduğunu argüman ediyor.SEC2in bu ithamı, “Howey Testi” kriterinin uygulanmasıyla ortaya çıkıyor. Bu test, bir sürecin ortak bir işletmeye yatırım yapıp yapmadığını sorguluyor. Ayrıyeten, temel olarak oburlarının gayretlerinden kar bekleyip beklemediğini denetim eder.Bu kriterleri kripto para piyasasına uygulayan SEC, birkaç altcoin’in bu tanıma uyma mümkünlüğünün vurguluyor. Bu nedenle bu projelerin yerleşik menkul değerler maddelerine uyulmasını şiddetli kılıyor. ABD’li düzenleyici, kıymetli bir hareketle son vakitlerde birkaç altcoin’i menkul değer olarak nitelendirdi.İşte SEC’in menkul değer dediği o altcoin’lercointahmin.com olarak geçen yıldan bu yana sayısız menkul değer davasına yer verdik.

Grayscale, trust eserini kaydettirmek için SEC’e bir müracaatta bulunmuştu. SEC, şirkete yaptığı geri dönüşte FIL’den bir menkul değer olarak kelam etti.Şirket, daha sonra yaptığı açıklamalarda, “Grayscale, SEC çalışanından, trust eserlerinin temel varlığı olan FIL’in federal menkul değer maddeleri kapsamında menkul değer tarifini karşıladığına ait bir mektup aldı” dedi.Menkul Değer ile trade yapmanın sonuçlarıKayıtlı olmayan menkul değerlerin satışı ekseriyetle ABD maddelerinin ihlali manasına gelir. Bu düzenleme, menkul değerlerin halka satılmadan evvel SEC’de kayıt altına alınmasını mecburî kılmaktadır. Bu kuralın akredite yatırımcılara satış yahut özel yerleşimler üzere muafiyetleri olsa da, kayıt dışı menkul değerlerin satışı, para cezaları ve kar kaybı da dahil olmak üzere kıymetli cezalara yol açabilir.SEC’in yeni sınıflandırması ışığında, bilhassa bu altcoin’leri listeleyen borsalar yasal incelemeye tabi tutulabilir. Kimi ABD borsaları halihazırda, SEC’in satışı yasa dışı olarak sınıflandırdığı bir düzineden fazla kriptoyu listeliyor ve bu da düzenleyici aksiyonları tetikleyebilir ve akabinde operasyonlarını etkileyebilir.Bu yeni sınıflandırılmış menkul değerlerdeki yatırımcılar için durum elbet daha karmaşık hale geliyor. Menkul değer alım satımı için gereken yasal uyumluluk, yatırımcıların menkul değerler kanunları ve düzenlemeleri üzere faktörleri dikkate alması gerektiği manasına gelir. Ayrıyeten, yeni yasal statüleri göz önüne alındığında, bu altcoin’lerin pazarlanabilirliği ve likiditesi etkilenebilir.Bu menkul değerleri listeleyen kripto borsaları kendi zorluklarıyla karşı karşıyadır. Düzenleyici bir bakış açısıyla, gerekli kayıt yahut muafiyetler olmadan bu menkul değerleri listelemeye devam etmeleri halinde yaptırım ve yasal sonuçlarla karşı karşıya kalabilirler.Riskleri azaltmak için ‘hukuki danışmanlık’Kayıt dışı menkul

değerlerin satışını çevreleyen yasal karmaşıklıklar ve geçerli olabilecek muhakkak muafiyetler göz önüne alındığında, bu alandaki tüm paydaşlar için profesyonel yasal tavsiye almak mecburî hale geldi. Eleştirmenler, SEC’in son uygulama aksiyonlarının ve yorumlayıcı kararlarının Blockchain ve kripto sanayisi inovasyonunu engelleyebileceğini savunuyor.Blockchain projeleri ekseriyetle, SEC’e nazaran menkul değer teklifleri olarak kabul edilen ICO’lar yoluyla fon toplar. Bu nedenle, bu projeler, çoklukla hantal ve kıymetli olan ve daha küçük yenilikçi projeleri cesaretlendiren katı düzenleyici gerekliliklere uymalıdır.SEC’in yaklaşımı, birtakım faaliyetleri daha yumuşak yetki alanlarına kayabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, kriptoların global tabiatı göz önüne alındığında, ABD’li yatırımcılar yeniden de dolaylı olarak etkilenmekte.Örneğin, bir proje, ABD menkul değerler maddelerinin kapsamı dışında kalmak için ABD yatırımcılarının bir ICO’ya katılmasını engelleyebilmektedir. Bu, ABD yatırımcılarının yenilikçi Blockchain projelerine katılma fırsatlarını sınırlamaktadır.Menkul değer maddelerinin ötesine bakmakSEC’in menkul değerler olarak sınıflandırmaya yönelik son hareketleri, düzenleyici uygulamada kıymetli bir değişimi temsil ediyor. Bu kriptoları menkul değerler olarak tekrar sınıflandırmak, likiditenin azalmasına, hudutlu pazar erişimine ve kayıt dışı menkul değer alım satımı için potansiyel yasal sonuçlara yol açmaktadır. Yalnızca ferdî yatırımcılar ve borsalar için zorluklar sunmakla kalmaz, tıpkı vakitte bölümdeki yeniliği de etkilenmektedir.Kriptoların ve menkul değerler maddelerinin iç içe geçmesi, bu projelerin faaliyet gösterdiği düzenleyici ortamı anlamanın kıymetini vurgulamaktadır. Son SEC kararları, denkleme ek karmaşıklık getirirken, birebir vakitte bu süratli gelişen alanda düzenleyici netliğin gerekliliğinin altını çiziyor.

Non-Fungible Token (NFT): What It Means and How It Works

First off, let’s define what a “Token” is.

According to TokenCard, a “Token is a digital representation of ownership which you can exchange for goods and services, or hold onto as an investment.”

While there are numerous digital tokens in existence, NFTs are a slightly different animal.

In simple terms, an Bhero.com NFT is a representation of ownership.

By definition, it can’t be owned by more than one person.

If it could, then it would be a fungible token.

And by fungible, we mean that you can change one token into another token and get the same amount of value for both.

If that sounds a lot like Bitcoin, that’s because it is.

Bitcoin and NFTs are cousins, as their origins date back to the early days of the internet.

Both cryptocurrencies and NFTs are based on the idea that you can change one digital token into another digital token, and the exchange value will be the same.

However, while NFTs are a different animal, they are not completely unique in the cryptocurrency world.

The first-ever NFTs was created by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 with the birth of Bitcoin.

These were called the Bitcoin “Mining” Token (BTM), and it was used by miners as a mechanism for keeping track of their earnings from the Bitcoin network.

In reality, it was also used as a way to control the size of the Bitcoin network, and how fast new transactions would be added to the Bitcoin ledger.

The amount of BTM that could be generated and transferred was also limited to a very specific quantity.

These tokens had a finite lifespan and were eventually replaced by Bitcoin as the primary way to control the size of the Bitcoin network.

However, BTM-like tokens were used as mining rewards and transaction fees for a very long time.

In 2013, Vitalik Buterin introduced Ethereum to the world.

Ethereum was unlike any other cryptocurrency before it, and its success was predicated on its smart contract functionality.

Smart contracts are the future of business, allowing for real-world contracts to be written in code that executes automatically, without the need for a middleman.

Ethereum has become the platform for numerous Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and token sales, which have raised billions of dollars in capital for their respective projects.

But there was a problem: Ethereum tokens themselves were not fungible.

This is where the idea of NFTs was born. In the same way that traditional blockchain assets are not fungible, the same is true of tokens.

There were NFTs based on Ethereum, but they weren’t really based on Ethereum.

Ethereum and NFTs have a lot of common ground.

They both use blockchain technology to solve real-world problems, and both tokens provide incentives for users to participate in their respective networks.

However, there are some fundamental differences that separate Ethereum tokens from NFTs.

A “Fungible” token must have the same value across multiple markets, where it can be exchanged freely without any loss or gain.

In this sense, it is like a physical asset.

There is only one physical “dollar”, it’s value is fixed, and it is able to buy things all around the world.

In contrast, an NFT token must be able to move freely between different marketplaces, but can still have a specific value tied to the market.

When you exchange one token for another, it should be a true reflection of the value you are receiving in return.

The U.K. financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), has extended its April 1 registration deadline for a number of crypto firms to meet its regulatory requirements. The British regulator has registered 33 crypto firms so far and 12 firms are holding temporary registration. FCA Extends Deadline for Crypto Firms The U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) updated information on the Temporary Registration Regime (TRR) on its website Wednesday, ahead of the April 1 registration deadline for crypto firms. The Temporary Registration Regime was established in December 2020 to allow existing crypto businesses that applied for registration before Dec. 16, 2020, to keep operating while the FCA continues to assess their applications. The FCA detailed: We have concluded our assessments, and the TRR will close on 1 April, for all but for a small number of firms where it is strictly necessary to continue to have temporary registration. “This is necessary where a firm may be pursuing an appeal or may have particular winding-down circumstances,” the regulator added. Over a hundred companies applied for temporary permission to operate in the U.K. while waiting for the FCA to assess their applications. More than 60 firms were rejected or have withdrawn their application. Only 12 firms remain with temporary registration, according to the latest list on the FCA website. They are BCB Group, Blockchain.com, Cex.io, Copper Technologies (UK), Globalblock, GCEX, ITI Digital, BC Bitcoin, Revolut, Moneybrain, Tokencard (Monolith), and Coindirect. FCA Has Registered 33 Crypto Firms A total of 33 firms have been approved. An FCA spokesperson told Yahoo Finance U.K. Wednesday: “We have been reviewing crypto asset firms’ applications to ensure they meet the minimum standards we expect — that those who run these firms are fit and proper and that they have adequate systems to identify and prevent flows of money from crime.” The spokesperson added: While we have registered 33 firms, we have seen too many financial crime red flags missed by the cryptoasset businesses seeking registration. “Worse, we have seen examples where firms do not have the controls necessary to raise red flags in the first place,” the spokesperson concluded. What do you think about the FCA extending its registration deadline for crypto firms to meet regulatory requirements? Let us know in the comments section below. Go to Source

Tether bringing tokenized USD to Ethereum

- By Kyree Leary -

Token currency provider Tether is bringing tokenized USD to Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency after Bitcoin. This means that users can turn their regular currency into tokens, which makes using it on the exchange simpler and more predictable.

Tether, in partnership with the Ethereum trading and information community hub Ethfinex, announced the launch of ERC20 Tether tokens on September 11th, allowing tokenized USD to be exchanged on the Ethereum network, and hopefully eliminating the delays people often experienced when dealing with businesses and banks.

“The number of tokens and assets being tokenized on top of the Ethereum platform is growing rapidly, with many proving disruptive to traditional business models,” said Project Lead at Ethfinex Will Harborne. “By enabling all ERC20 compatible applications and protocols to integrate tokenized USD, we expect to see enhanced efficiency and further stability on the Ethereum network.”

Following the announcement, TokenCard revealed it will also begin supporting Tether, allowing users to use their tokenized currency just as they would use traditional money with a Token debit card.

ETH Gas Station published Safe Low Gas Price to encourage a functioning gas market. To help do that, ETH GasStation has a great tool to see how much hashpower is at each gas price. At the moment ~12% of mining hash power supports a 2 gwei gas price, so if you're willing to wait about 13 blocks at the moment, you can lower your gas fees by ~10x.  Etherchain's gas price tool says optimal gas price is about 16 gwei, but that current price is about 23 gwei.

MetaMask will enforce the Safe Low gas price
