Tether Launches Gold-Backed Crypto, Do You Trust Them with Your Bullion?
Controversial cryptocurrency startup Tether has just announced the launch of a new crypto asset. The latest product from the company that brought the market market US Dollar Tether (USDT) is a supposedly gold-backed digital token. Tether Gold reportedly backs the tokens with physical gold stored in a Swiss vault. However, given Tether’s lack of transparency over the years, it remains to be seen if anyone will even trust the gold-backed crypto. Tether Gold Launches on Crypto Networks Tron and Ethereum According to the project’s whitepaper, each Tether Gold (XAUt) token represents a single ounce of London Good Delivery gold. The custodian company reportedly holds these in a Swiss vault on the behalf of investors. Given that XAUt tokens are divisible, investors can customise the size of positions they take up. The lowest increment of XAUt is 0.000001. However, there are minimum purchase amounts. Buyers must take least 50 XAUt, representing 50 fine troy ounces (~$75,000), at a time. Tether Gold, the digital asset pegged to physical gold is officially live! Find full details about the only product among the competition…

What the Wild History of Digital Currency Tells Us About The Future
The history of the cryptocurrency project can be traced to the 1970s. One key factor was the fear of future surveillance. Both surveillance and the possibility to more directly manipulate transaction data. I wrote about Paul Armor, a computer scientist who worked on and off in the Department of Defense, and at Rand in the 70s, where they asked him to design a next-gen surveillance system, to keep tabs on the Soviet Union and anticipate their moves. His team came up with an electronic payments system. They realized tracking money flows gives you useful information. It means that you have a time-stamped, geocoded record of every time someone pays for something. You have a really fine-grained dossier of everybody’s movements and activities, and the transaction data itself. So you know where they are, what they’re interested in, what they’re like. A lot of the people who are working on the earliest stages of digital cash were preparing for when most of the economy and commerce goes digital, so everyone would be under surveillance and coercion at a level never really seen before….

Binance Returns Frozen BTC After User ‘Promises’ Not to Use CoinJoin
Bitcoin (BTC) users who employ privacy tool CoinJoin to add anonymity to their transactions face a major wake-up call after exchange Binance froze a withdrawal. In an ongoing Twitter debate which began Dec. 19, a user by the name of Catxolotl uploaded what appeared to be correspondence from Binance Singapore staff stating they had launched an “investigation” into a withdrawal of an unknown amount of BTC. Binance: we “do not tolerate” CoinJoin The reason, they said, was Catxolotl was using CoinJoin via wallet provider Wasabi. A Binance representative confirmed the problem in private comments, explaining: “Binance SG operates under the requirements as set forth by MAS and our MAS regulated partner, Xfers. Hence there are AML CFT controls set in place for the Binance SG. Unfortunately, this user has triggered one of our risk control mechanisms and thus we are conducting a deeper investigation.” CoinJoin refers to a method of grouping together Bitcoin transactions, “mixing” unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs) and hiding who sent what to which address in order to increase all users’ privacy. According to Binance, including CEO Changpeng…

Digital Dollars Give the State Too Much Control Over Money
Max Raskin is an adjunct professor of law at New York University. A bipartisan group of U.S. congressmen wrote Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin last week, urging him to consider the use of blockchain technology in administering the federal government’s coronavirus response. This comes just a month after Democrats in the House and Senate proposed bills that would allow individuals to hold checking accounts directly with Federal Reserve banks. Such accounts have been referred to as “digital dollars,” and such plans aim to both stimulate the economy with direct cash injections and bank the unbanked. Although this may seem like a sleek new idea riding the crest of enthusiasm over blockchains, digital currency and financial inclusion, a similar proposal, dubbed the “Chicago Plan,” was considered by President Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression of the 1930s and ultimately rejected. Then, like now, the plan is not without benefits. But then, like now, it should be rejected because it would be one of the biggest power grabs in American history, politicizing our system of finance irrevocably. See also: Money Reimagined: As Tech,…

Bitcoin’s Booming Hash Rate Ahead of Halving Signals a Serious Bull Run
In approximately 10 days as of this article’s writing, Bitcoin will experience its latest block reward reduction, known as a “halving.” Halvings, which take place around every four years, ensure that the number of coins issued per block gets cut in half, resulting in a 50% reduction in BTC’s inflation. Block rewards being cut in half means that the revenue of miners will be cut in half as well, but this hasn’t stopped Bitcoin’s hash rate — the measure of the computational power processing transactions — from hitting new heights. Bitcoin Hash Rate Sets a New High According to data shared by blockchain analytics company Glassnode, Bitcoin’s hash rate just today hit a new all-time high at just shy of 150 exahashes per second — 150 with 18 zeroes after it hashes every second. This signifies that ahead of the halving, Bitcoin miners are allocating more capital and machinery to the network than ever before. Whether or not the surge is related to the launch of new mining machines, new ASICs, or Chinese regulation is not clear. Bitcoin holders have…
