After the IronFinance disaster: Mark Cuban calls for regulation of stablecoins



Mark Cuban is rich, the billionaire is also known to be an outspoken supporter of Ethereum, non-fungible tokens and decentralized finance. Now it happened that as an investor he had to bite the bullet and, together with many other investors, suffered a total loss.

A rug pull could have been the reason why the price for TITAN collapsed without further ado. The Iron Titanium Token is the in-house token of Iron.Finance, a decentralized stablecoin protocol. The token lost 100% of its value within a very short time.

The development team has a completely different explanation and is assuming a run on the liquidity reserves, which was tantamount to a bank run and caused the crash. In the end, the cause has not been conclusively clarified. The fact is that the token dropped from $ 65 to $ 0.000000036150. A brutal loss that can no longer be compensated.

Cuban calls for regulation

Cuban was initially optimistic about the media and took his loss, which he called minor, athletically, but then asked Bloomberg to regulate stablecoins and thus indirectly that of the DeFi sector. This not only caused a lot of commercials on social media, but also raises the question of how regulators should intervene in this environment at all.

Compared to Bloomberg , Cuban called for better regulation of stablecoins and clearer definitions of how they should be covered. In his opinion, there is too much ambiguity here. A question that should also concern Cuban, because the project in which he lost money is a decentralized stablecoin solution.

If protocols are actually supported and maintained by developers around the world open source, it looks rather bleak. In particular, decentralized stablecoin projects that are not directly covered by fiat currency seem particularly difficult to grasp. The situation is different with projects that have an identifiable team and company.

From offchain to offchain: Statechains meets Lightning

  Without a doubt, the most significant off-chain Bitcoin solution is the Lightning network. But in its wake, the statechain has emerged as an intriguing replacement. There is currently a proposal to link the two offchain networks. From an ocean, for example, you can see sunbeams glistening in the water, waves rippling, and possibly a jellyfish drifting toward the light. But you only see a small portion of it. The distance from the sea's surface to its bottom is hundreds of meters. It has dozens of different fish species swimming in it, crabs and starfish crawling on the bottom, shells clinging to rocks, and sea plants climbing up. A completely new world starts where your gaze diverges. You can picture a blockchain like Bitcoin, just like the sea. What you see on the outside is only a small portion of what is actually there; the set of UTXOs (coins) and transaction history that full nodes store are just the beginning of a much larger world. It's the plan, at least. With Bitcoin

MSP Recovery and Tokenology aim to optimize healthcare with the help of Polygon

  MSP Recovery LLC, a Miami, US-based healthcare provider with an estimated enterprise value of $32.6 billion, is partnering with Web3 company Tokenology to jointly launch a new blockchain platform called Lifechain. Lifechain wants to leverage the verifiable and transparent nature of blockchain technology to aggregate medical care claims, medical expense reports and patient data and streamline their processing. For this purpose, MSP Recovery launched its own LifeWallet in January, which already has 1 million users. In addition to the wallet and blockchain platform, an associated crypto token called LifeCoin is also used.

British financial regulator criticizes cooperation between Binance and Paysafe

  The British financial regulator FCA has expressed concerns about the partnership between market-leading crypto exchange Binance and payment service provider Paysafe. As the British regulator complains, the partnership gives Binance access to the influential British payment network Faster Payments Service (FPS), from which the crypto exchange was previously cut off. Last June, the FCA ordered Binance to stop all business activities in Great Britain. As a result, prominent banks such as Barclays have terminated their cooperation with the leading crypto trading platform . Through the cooperation with Paysafe, Binance can now again offer deposits in British pounds sterling and transactions within the European Payments Area (SEPA). However, this fact is a thorn in the side of the FCA, as it classifies the crypto exchange as a “considerable risk factor”. However, the financial regulator sees little room for maneuver to counteract this, as the Financial Times reports . “ Paysafe understands
