BIS Warns Crypto Growth Could Undermine Financial Stability and Widen Inequality

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) warns that the rapid growth of crypto and DeFi poses risks to financial stability and worsens wealth inequality, urging stablecoin regulation and greater investor protection.

  • Crypto and DeFi have reached “critical mass”, raising investor protection concerns.
  • Stablecoins are central to crypto transactions, and the BIS calls for strict regulation, especially during market stress.
  • The STABLE Act and GENIUS Act in the U.S. aim to improve stablecoin transparency, compliance, and consumer protection.
  • BIS data shows that during crypto crashes, retail investors were buying while large holders were selling, leading to wealth redistribution from poorer to wealthier investors.
  • The BIS emphasizes that DeFi and TradFi share economic risks, but DeFi’s unique features require tailored regulatory oversight.

World Network

The Origins:

World Network, previously operating under the name Worldcoin, is a biometric cryptocurrency initiative launched in 2019 by Tools for Humanity, co-founded by Sam Altman, Max Novendstern, and Alex Blania.
The project’s primary goal is to establish a decentralized digital identity system, known as World ID, to distinguish humans from AI in the digital realm.

The Operative:

This is achieved through iris scanning using a device called the Orb, which verifies an individual’s uniqueness without compromising personal identity.
In return, users receive $WLD tokens, aiming to promote a more equitable global economy.​

World operates on a multi-layered infrastructure:​

  • World ID: A privacy-centric digital identity that confirms human uniqueness without revealing personal information.​
  • Orb: A biometric device that captures iris patterns to generate a unique cryptographic hash, ensuring the individual hasn’t previously registered.​
  • World App: A mobile application facilitating the creation of World IDs, management of WLD tokens, and access to decentralized applications.​
  • World Chain: An Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain designed to support the World ecosystem, enhancing scalability and transaction efficiency.​

As of late 2024, World has verified nearly 7 million users across various regions.
The project introduced World ID 3.0, incorporating advanced cryptographic techniques and NFC-enabled passport support to bolster security and user experience.​

Summary & Competitors:

World has raised a total of $240 million across multiple funding rounds.

World faces competition from:​

  • BrightID: A project offering privacy-preserving social identity verification without biometrics.​
  • Proof of Humanity: Combines social verification with video submissions to establish unique human identities.​
  • Civic: Provides blockchain-based identity solutions focusing on secure access and identity management.​

Digital interactions are becoming increasingly prevalent, what makes the establishment of trust and verifying human authenticity online paramount.
The evolution of such technologies will play a crucial role in shaping the future of digital identity and online trust.

10 Ways To Lose Money In The Market

It’s well known that over 95% of traders lose money and that’s because trading is one of the most complex activities out there, yet it has some of the lowest levels of preparation, especially for beginners.

We’re used to seeing posts telling you how to make money, like it’s easy… but that 95% up there says otherwise.

So in this post, we’re not going to list “10 ways to get rich”. Instead, here are the 10 ways to lose money, and how just one of these behaviors can ruin your account:

1. Cutting winners too early and letting losers run
2. Not knowing what you’re trading
3. Using extreme leverage
4. Forcing the chart to tell you what you want to see
5. Going ALL IN
6. Overtrading
7. Gut feelings (wishful thinking)
8. Oversized positions in high-risk assets
9. Losing the sense of money
10. Following the herd

Let’s be honest, we’ve all fallen into some of these at some point and that’s OK, recognizing them is part of the process.

In this industry, people often count the money they hope to make (and never do). But the real edge is to first focus on what not to lose. It’s about preserving capital, financial survival… call it financial Darwinism if you want.

Therefore, the first thing to focus on is not losing money, and to achieve that, it’s key to avoid mistakes, especially the ones on that list.

This might not be the kind of article you were expecting to find, but trust me, it’ll be the kind of article you’ll be glad you found in the future.

Because at the end of the day this is about money.
