Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Plans to Offer Crypto Trading Services

Despite the setbacks in the cryptocurrency industry, multiple governments have been embracing assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. However, Israel disappointed the community by intending to classify digital assets as securities. Amidst this, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange [TASE] pitched a structure that would include crypto trading activities.

TASE plans to serve unbanked members through this initiative. If the plan is approved, non-banking members will serve as authorized suppliers of crypto trading and custody services. The “omnibus account” will serve as a middleman for any digital asset trading transactions involving customer funds.

According to TASE, the planned structure will allow clients to deposit fiat money intended for investments in digital assets. Clients will also be permitted to withdraw funds from the sale of crypto assets.

Currently, the draft proposal for this expansion has been made available to the public. TASE is seeking public comments about the same. The proposal will be sent to the TASE Board of Directors for approval once opinions are in, but no deadline has been given. Elaborating on its latest move, TASE said,

“This is another step in the advancement and development of the Israeli capital market that aims to encourage innovation and competition while mitigating the risks and protecting the customers.”

If this plan garners a green light, crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to be the first to be a part of this initiative.

Will this crypto-friendly move garner a green signal?

As mentioned earlier, in January, the Israeli Securities Authority [ISA] put forth a plan that would put crypto assets under the definition of securities. As digital asset firms have been fighting to brush off the ‘securities’ association, Israeli regulators were “killing the industry.”

But TASE seemed confident about its latest proposal. The exchange wrote,

“TASE believes that the alignment of local regulation with international regulation will attract more foreign investments and foreign investors into the Israeli market.”

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst.
