bookmark_borderNew bill would require candidates in Russian elections to declare crypto
The bill must still go through two readings in the Duma before going to the Federation Council.
Russia’s State Duma has approved a new draft bill in its first reading that would require election candidates to disclose their crypto holdings, expenditures and purchases.
The draft bill also asks election candidates to indicate a source of income for cryptocurrency purchases and requires crypto declarations not only from the actual candidates, but also their spouses and minor children for the past three years.
Introduced in March 2021, the draft bill includes a set of amendments to existing Russian law like those on presidential and State Duma deputy elections, guarantees of the electoral rights, as well as the country’s major cryptocurrency bill, “On Digital Financial Assets” officially enacted in January this year. The next step in the draft bill’s development will be the consideration of potential amendments in mid-June.
Elections for the State Duma are scheduled for September 2021, with the pro-Kremlin ruling party, United Russia, expecting to take over two-thirds of the Duma’s 450 seats.
The Duma is apparently concerned about the crypto activity of new deputies as the Russian opposition is widely known for accepting Bitcoin (BTC). Russia’s “Anti-Corruption Foundation” — founded by jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and now declared an extremist organization — had accepted Bitcoin donations since 2016.
The Russian government levied crypto reporting requirements on public officials earlier this year, even forcing some to sell their crypto.
bookmark_borderBitcoin $5K ‘kimchi premium’ returns while gold prices surge in Korea
Bitcoin is trading at 12.5% higher in South Korea than in other markets, while gold prices climb to quarterly highs.
Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $5,000 higher in South Korea than in other markets on Wednesday as capital flow controls continue to enforce the “kimchi premium.” While Bitcoin was trading at $39,932 on Coinbase at the time of publication, the price on the Korea-based Bithumb exchange stood at $45,115.
According to a recent Bank of America statement, the kimchi premium is a result of capital flow controls aimed at stopping the cross-border transfer of “hot money,” reports Reuters.
“The onshore price for cryptocurrencies in Korea is persistently above international prices suggesting this to be a result of effective capital control that prevents effective arbitrage of onshore and offshore prices. Korean capital controls allow the ‘Kimchi premium’ to persist,” the Bank of America said in a report on Tuesday.
The 12.5% premium on Bitcoin in Korea persists despite the coin’s recent 32% losses and signs of increased transfers to centralized exchanges. The Bank of America’s report noted that daily cryptocurrency trade volume reached new heights in Korea in the first quarter of 2021, exceeding 1,480 trillion won ($1.3 trillion).
While demand for crypto continues in South Korea, so too does demand for gold. Gold prices rose four days in a row leading up to Tuesday, May 18, hitting heights not witnessed since January.
The current price per gram of 68,200 won ($60.36) is 9.4% higher than it was two months ago, in what the Korean Herald identifies as a sign of increasing inflation concerns. While still well below historic levels, the Korean inflation rate jumped 1.5% in April alone. Since 2019 the inflation rate climbed from below zero to 2.3%.
bookmark_border$350B lost in crypto bloodbath as Bitcoin and Co sink 15–30%
The cryptocurrency market is painted red after numerous coins lost more than 30% in the past 24 hours.
The global cryptocurrency market cap lost in excess of $350 billion overnight leading into Wednesday, May 19, as Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and a majority of the altcoin market lost between 15–30%.
Tuesday night’s plunge leaves the global market cap more than $750 billion worse off than it was this time last week. That figure equates to 30% of the $2.5 trillion peak reached by the combined market cap one week ago on May 12.
Bitcoin lost 15% on the day as the coin price sank from $45,632 to $38,787 in a matter of hours. That takes the coin’s weekly losses to over 32%. The only time Bitcoin lost as much as this in such short a time frame was in late 2017, just as BTC’s bull run at the time came to a screeching halt.
Ether lost more than 19% on the day, as it fell from $3,562 to $2,881, and added to weekly losses of 33.8%.
Other altcoins, particularly recent gainers, were subject to even worse reversals. Internet Computer (ICP) lost 32% during the past 24 hours, which took weekly losses to over 61%, and sent the coin crashing out of the market cap top 10, after appearing there so suddenly less than a month ago.
Other tokens that hit all-time highs during the past week saw similar losses to ICP. Nexo (NEXO) lost 30% of its market value last night, taking the weekly pullback to 43%.
Shiba Inu (SHIB) lost 29% on the day, which added to weekly losses of 66%. Shiba Inu’s sharp reversal predictably followed a barking mad surge which saw the Dogecoin (DOGE) imitator’s perceived value increase by over 2,000,000% since the start of the year.
Inflows of Bitcoin to major centralized exchanges soared during the past 24 hours. More coins were sent to trading posts than at any time since the “Black Friday” crash of 2020 — a fact that led CIO at Moskovski Capital, Lex Moskovski, to conclude, “People are scared.”
