Coinbase Brian Armstrong to hold Meeting with House Democrats

0

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is scheduled to meet with several members of the House Democratic Caucus on Wednesday, according to a report by Politico. The meeting comes amid growing regulatory scrutiny of the cryptocurrency industry and Coinbase’s recent clash with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its proposed lending product.

Armstrong, who has been vocal about his frustration with the lack of clarity and innovation-friendly policies in the U.S. crypto regulation, will likely use the opportunity to advocate for a more balanced and supportive approach from lawmakers and regulators. He will also likely face questions and concerns from some of the lawmakers, who may be wary of the risks and challenges posed by the rapidly evolving crypto space.

Coinbase, the largest U.S. crypto exchange by market capitalization, has been at the center of several regulatory disputes in recent months. In September, Armstrong publicly criticized the SEC for threatening to sue Coinbase if it launched its Lend program, which would allow users to earn interest on their crypto holdings. Armstrong accused the SEC of engaging in “sketchy behavior” and creating an “unfair market” for crypto innovation.

Coinbase later announced that it would delay the launch of Lend indefinitely and cooperate with the SEC’s investigation. However, the company also filed a legal complaint against the SEC, seeking to obtain documents and information related to the agency’s decision-making process and communications with other crypto platforms that offer similar products.

Coinbase has also faced pushback from other regulators, such as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), which fined Coinbase $6.5 million in March for allegedly reporting false or misleading information about its trading volume and liquidity. Additionally, Coinbase has been sued by several customers who claim that the company mishandled their personal data and failed to protect them from hackers and fraudsters.

Despite these challenges, Coinbase remains one of the most influential and successful companies in the crypto industry, with over 68 million verified users and a market value of about $65 billion as of Tuesday. The company went public in April through a direct listing on Nasdaq, marking a historic milestone for the crypto sector.

Coinbase is committed to fostering a healthy and transparent ecosystem for the crypto industry. We believe that regulation is necessary to protect consumers, investors, and innovators, and to ensure the long-term viability of this emerging technology.

However, we also recognize that regulation is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Different types of crypto assets and activities may require different approaches and frameworks. That is why we advocate for a principles-based and risk-based approach to regulation, rather than a prescriptive and rigid one.

We believe that regulators should focus on the outcomes and objectives they want to achieve, rather than on the specific means and methods. This would allow for more flexibility and innovation, while still ensuring a high level of consumer protection and market integrity.

We also believe that regulators should take into account the inherent differences and risks of various crypto assets and activities, rather than applying the same rules across the board. This would avoid creating unnecessary barriers and costs for low-risk or beneficial use cases, such as stablecoins, DeFi, or NFTs.

We welcome the opportunity to engage with regulators and policymakers around the world to share our insights and perspectives on the crypto industry. We believe that through constructive dialogue and collaboration, we can create a regulatory environment that supports the growth and development of the crypto economy, while safeguarding the interests of all stakeholders.

Armstrong’s meeting with the House Democrats could be a chance for him to build bridges and foster dialogue with some of the key policymakers who will shape the future of crypto regulation in the U.S. It could also be an opportunity for him to showcase Coinbase’s vision and values, as well as its contributions to the economy and society.

However, Armstrong may also face some skepticism and resistance from some of the lawmakers, who may have different views and priorities regarding crypto regulation. Some of them may be more inclined to support stricter rules and oversight to protect consumers, investors, and financial stability from the potential harms and abuses of crypto activities. Others may be more sympathetic to Armstrong’s call for more clarity and flexibility but may also have questions and suggestions on how to balance innovation and regulation in a responsible and sustainable way.

The Wealth of firms is in the People of the Firms

Companies exist to fix frictions in markets. To do that, they must mobilize factors of production to create products and services. When you examine the whole constellation of that translation of organizing, combining and recombining those factors to make products, you see three things: people, processes and tools. The People are the heart of every firm. They are the central nervous system of any operating entity, making it possible for the neurons and synapses of markets to operate effectively. The wealth of firms is in the People of the firms.

In the next few hours, one of the finest minds in this industry of discovering, nurturing, and uplifting the human capital to execute business missions will be at Tekedia Mini-MBA. Ijeoma Anunibe, PHRi, SHRM-SCP, ACIPM is the Head of People at Shuttlers, an innovative transportation startup.

Safaricom to Launch Satellite Internet in Kenya, Set to Rival Elon Musk Starlink

0

Kenya’s leading communications provider, Safaricom has announced plans to launch satellite internet in Kenya in the second half of 2023, as it is set to rival Elon Musk Starlink.

The company has partnered with AST spaceMobile to scale up its satellite, which is coming when Elon Musk’s Starlink has gone live with a similar offering in the East African country.

AST SpaceMobile has signed agreements with Vodafone Group PIc, Safaricom’s parent company. This collaboration will enable Safaricom to leverage AST SpaceMobile’s technology and infrastructure to offer reliable satellite-based connectivity to its customers in Kenya.

After Safaricom’s successful completion of trial, AST SpaceMobile will scale up their satellite deployments in partnership with Vodacom to provide ubiquitous communications to 4G devices across Africa and beyond.

In the partnership between Safaricom and AST SpaceMobile, revenue will be shared on a 50/50 basis. The agreement also includes a commitment to maintain market exclusivity to ensure the success of the collaboration.

This strategic alliance between both companies, demonstrates the shared vision of expanding access to reliable and high-speed Internet connectivity throughout Kenya and other African markets.

Also, Elon Musk’s expansion into the Kenyan market is part of Starlink’s mission to provide internet access to remote and underserved areas around the world.

The company announced on its website that it is targeting service in areas such as the capital Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Nakuru. At the moment, Kenyans can order the starlink hardware for a total cost of KES90,825.93.

The move to venture into Kenya comes at a time when the demand for high internet speed for streaming, video calls, and online gaming is on the rise due to digitization and expensive data charges.

The company uses satellites to provide broadband internet across the globe, much like the global positioning system (GPS) provides location data to cell phones around the planet.

With the launch of Starlink in Kenya, customers can expect a reliable and affordable internet service that will help bridge the digital divide in the country.

The current Internet service providers in the country, mainly offer connectivity via fibre optic cables, over Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Star link on the other hand, delivers internet from satellites. Albeit pricey, which might see other users in the country opt for other cheaper satellite providers, Starlink’s speed is something to die for.

Notably, Starlink’s will no doubt be faced with stiff competition from some top internet service providers (ISPs) in the East African country like Telkom, Airtel, Safaricom, Zuku, Faiba, and others who mainly offer internet connectivity through fibre optics.

It is worth noting that Safaricom, has reportedly spent billions of shillings over the past five years on building its fixed-data network to connect homes, amid growth for online streaming services like Netflix.

With the range of satellite Internet connections in Kenya, it has the potential to shake up the traditional telecoms services, which are based on infrastructure that has left many areas without coverage, especially in rural parts of the country.

Nigeria Cannot Afford Full Removal of Fuel Subsidy in a World Where Nations Subsidize Energy

1

According to AO Lawal’s Economics textbook, companies consider the availability of factors of production before they would locate their operations. In that secondary school textbook, there was a section he called “Location and Localization of Industries”.

In Nigeria today, ENERGY is one of the key components of production, and without energy, you have no economy. In Germany, industrial output is fading because cheap energy from Russia has gone. But Germany will be back – they will find a way to subsidize energy for their industries.

Nigeria, by removing fuel subsidy, instead of fixing the corruption which makes production-oriented fuel subsidy ineffective, will trigger an avalanche of degraded production output that will decimate the economy. It is not a smart policy to think markets will pay the full cost of energy when EVERY productive nation in the world subsidies energy, including US, Japan, China and everyone!

Our problem is not fuel subsidy; our problem is the corruption in fuel subsidy which makes fuel subsidy look bad. Yes, open borders, fake invoicing, etc are not due to fuel subsidies; those are weaknesses in governance. Fix them and give manufacturers in Nigeria the opportunities to compete because at N617 per litre, the only option is closure, since there is no national grid-anchored electricity in our generator economy!

Petroleum pump price rose to N617 per litre at various outlets of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) in Abuja on Tuesday.

The development comes months after the oil company approved an upward review in the pump price of petroleum nationwide.

President Bola Tinubu had, in his inaugural address on 29 May, announced the removal of fuel subsidy.

Following the announcement, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) directed its outlets nationwide to sell fuel between N480 and N570 per litre, an almost 200 per cent increase from the initial price below N200.

The hike immediately triggered an increase in transportation fares and prices of goods and services by various percentages.

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: It doesn’t matter how many times and how succinctly put this explanation is, you will still find a good number of us who would argue otherwise. Many of these ‘great thinkers’ carry emblems of academic or professional achievements, including in areas that are heavily steeped in finance & economics. So it’s little wonder how these really strange ideas make it to official policy positions.

The only sad thing about governance and policymaking to be more specific, is that the outcome often tends to present in the form of lagging indicators, which then provides the architects of the policy enough legroom for plausible deniability: “yes, I agree that things are so bad but our policy would have turned this country to heaven on earth by now…if it wasn’t for that time 16 years ago that so so and so party killed one live cow per day”.

So here we are. Sidon look.

Organizations and business leaders have their work cut out of them. Strategy upon strategy; risk model upon risk model. We go explain tire

My Response: Go to any high rise in Marina Lagos, watch how many ships are coming to Nigeria; all are fully loaded. Then watch those leaving Nigeria, most are empty. What does that tell us? Companies prefer to make outside and sell to us. That is why you have no Michelin, etc; we continue to use most of those products even though they do not exist in Nigeria.

Transcorp acquired a wine concentrate making company (Terragro) around  2014 from Benue state. After some months, it shut it down. Why? You can spend $70 (all costs including S+H)  and import from South Africa what you can make in Benue at $100.

Key issue there: energy.

Let us continue to have the debate in the nation. But I want to see any person cite any productive economy which does not subsidize energy.

Comment 3: Professor, it is now very bad. Aside the cost of the fuel, the quality of those PMS are zero. Some friends of mine now leave their car behind since driving from Ikeja to Ajah now cost 80,000 naira from Monday to Friday. My car run on 2.4L engine yet I have accounted for 60k naira fuel for 2 kilometers journey per day.

This afternoon, a litre was sold for 568 naira in Mobil while others sold at 617 naira. By implications of this, many SME business will fade and corporates will reduce staff headcount to remain conservative and fiduciary practice. 10 companies close up in Ibadan last week and many more will happen nationwide this week.

Removing subsidy and floating the Naira same time was nothing but pure illiteracy towards an importing based nation.

Indeed, there was a country.

My Response: Great comment but LIKING it would make it seem we are happy on the things noted. But I am confident that our leaders have foot soldiers who are collecting data. They need to open plan B because if we lose most of those small SMEs, Nigeria will struggle at scale.

Comment 4: Ruling Nigeria will never be a tea party. Nigeria needs a plan for her energy sector. Subsidy might not look like a good option to the government of the day owing to paucity of funds but people are really suffering. I still maintain that Gas remains our best way out of this problem. The federal and State governments’ need to engage with the private sector. Probably give an incentive to companies that wants to change their source of energy to gas. Their should also be incentive to companies on the supply side, that is those putting infrastructure in place for people to be able to use gas for transport, manufacturing and cooking. Doing anything that would be only convenient to one side is asking for trouble. We need to support production and find ways of alleviating the suffering of many Nigerians’

This includes everything from debit/credit cards and domestic bank wires to Paypal and ACH. In terms of account minimums, you only need to deposit $10 at eToro to get started.

Crypto.com offers a user-friendly way to buy XRP from the comfort of home. You can complete your purchase after opening an account and uploading some ID.

This will allow you to purchase your chosen number of tokens instantly, albeit, the standard fee for debit card transactions at Crypto.com is 2.99%. The good news, however, is that for the first 30 days after opening your account, this fee is waived. When it comes to commissions, Crypto.com charges a standard rate of 0.4% per slide. You can, however, reduce your commission by trading higher volumes or holding the platform’s native token – CRO.

Once you have invested in XRP, you might then consider checking out the 250+ other supported tokens on the Crypto.com platform. Moreover, the platform offers a range of other crypto-centric services, such as the ability to earn interest on your investments.

Ways of Buying XRP

We have covered a lot in this How to buy XRP guide. However, there are other ways in which you can buy this best crypto. Check out the list below for inspiration!

 

 

Buy XRP With Credit Card or Debit Card

Buying XRP, one of the top crypto assets, from the comfort of your home can be achieved in less than five minutes when using a credit/debit card.

All you need to do is quickly register an account with a low-cost broker like Bitstamp, enter your card details, and that’s it – your XRP tokens will be added to your portfolio instantly.

With that being said, the average fee on credit/debit card payments in the crypto space is between 3-5% – so it’s important that you do your homework before opening an account. For instance, at Crypto.com and Binance – you will be charged 2.99% and 4.5% respectively.

Buy XRP With Paypal

Some cryptocurrency brokers will also allow you to deposit and withdraw US dollars via your Paypal account.

If you do decide to buy XRP with Paypal, you will benefit from an extra layer of security – insofar as you will not be required to enter your credit/debit card details directly.

In terms of where to buy XRP with Paypal, eToro allows you to do this on a fee-free basis. Once again, this is on the proviso that your Paypal account is funded in USD. Otherwise, you will pay a fee of 0.5%.

Buy XRP With Neteller or Skrill

If you hold funds in an alternative e-wallet, eToro also allows you to buy XRP with Neteller and Skrill. Alternatively, you might even consider depositing funds via WebMoney. Either way, no fees apply for USD deposits and the transaction will be processed instantly

Choosing an XRP Wallet

When it comes to wallets, XRP works differently from virtually all other cryptocurrencies. This is because Ripple requires you to allocate 20 XRP as a reserve. That is to say, if you wish the wallet to remain active, you cannot withdraw this 20 XRP.

Based on a price of $0.60 per XRP as of writing, this amounts to just under $17. \And of course, when XRP peaked at $3.40 – this would require a total lock-up of $68.

As a result, this will not be suitable for people that wish to invest a small amount of money into XRP. The good news is that if you buy XRP from the SEC-regulated broker eToro, this 20 XRP minimum is not required.

This is because as soon as you make your purchase – which requires a minimum investment of just $10, the XRP tokens will be added to your eToro web wallet. The tokens will remain there safely until you are ready to cash out.

Once you have learned how to buy Ripple’s XRP tokens and where to complete your order – the final thing to consider is storage. After all, XRP tokens are stored in crypto wallets.

There is plenty of choice in this way, as crypto wallets can come via a mobile app, desktop software, or a hardware device. Each crypto asset wallet will offer a certain blend of security and convenience.
