The BTC tug of war turned decisively in favor of the bulls late Monday as the price blasted past $9,500 to establish a local high of $9,780. The mini-rally occurred over a span of barely four hours, following which things seem to have calmed down a bit.

Tightening Regulations Chipping Away at Crypto ‘Wild West’

Bitcoin and its brethren are certainly no stranger to hostile governments. Over the past decade, the nascent-but-thriving asset class has been bullied in every which way by the powerful nexus of ruling elites, central banks, regulatory bodies, and even mainstream financial institutions.

So far, crypto has survived all attempts to strangulate it into oblivion. However, in the absence of a global crypto regulation standard, international organizations warn about the dangers of regulatory arbitrage.

In this article, BeInCrypto writer Osato Avan-Nomayo sheds light on the state of crypto regulation (or lack of) in the world’s major economies, including the US, the UK, Japan, India, and South Korea, among others.

When Will Ethereum Benefit From the DeFi Boom?

It stands to reason then that the biggest beneficiary from this DeFi boom should be Ethereum. But any real price momentum has yet to materialize for the world’s second-largest crypto asset.

Ethereum has had a slow and steady burn this year, starting out on New Year’s Day at $130 and rising 85% to current levels around the $240 mark. However, winding the clock back to mid-2019, before DeFi really started to take off, shows that ETH prices are still down 32%.
