Welcome to today’s crypto news overview:

MARKETS

The price of the primary cryptocurrency has been moving like a roller coaster in recent days. Last week, BTC dropped to a monthly low below $ 56,000 before going on the offensive and hit $ 60,000 over the weekend.

However, with the arrival of Monday, the bears returned and pushed again – this time to a level of around $ 57,000. The bulls intercepted the move and drove up assets above $ 59,000, but the increase was only short-lived.

In the following hours, BTC plummeted, losing over $ 3,000 to a daily low of $ 55,750. Other recovery attempts followed, but with little to no success. Since then, BTC has stopped below $ 57,000.

The Altcoins plotted modest increases.

Ripple is developing a cryptocurrency strategy for the Palau Republic

Elon Musk urges Dogecoin holders to leave centralized exchanges

Interventions in India continue and a cryptocurrency plan is planned for the winter

India is set to ban most crypto assets when it introduces a new law regulating the industry in the winter.

The agenda includes the “Cryptocurrency Act and Regulation of Official Digital Currencies, 2021”. The bill also addresses the framework for the central bank’s official digital currency to be issued by the Reserve Bank of India.

India is now following in China’s footsteps and trying to eradicate the use of decentralized crypto assets in favor of its own state-controlled CBDC. This is the second time that a bill on cryptocurrencies has been tabled in parliament, but has not been tabled earlier this year.

A new law for the crypto industry is being prepared in South Korea

The South Korean Financial Services Commission (FSC) has drafted a set of proposals for a new crypto law, including criminal sanctions for unfair market players. The compiled report was submitted to the National Assembly for consideration.

Yesterday, the FSC submitted to the National Assembly for consideration a basic outline for the construction of a new law on the virtual assets industry. It focuses on 10 legislators’ proposals on virtual assets.

The FSC report includes sanctions against unfair commercial practices, such as the use of undisclosed information, manipulation of market prices or fraudulent transactions.
