“A lot of [token] projects are fooling their own trader community or investors by faking these wash trades or these volumes. They give legitimate market makers a bad name. Still, global regulatory developments are progressively making it more difficult for such businesses to thrive." says Mathias Beke, Kairon Labs Co-Founder and CTO. Crypto market-making involves several ethical considerations that uphold market integrity. With recent crackdowns on dodgy firms, it’s especially important for projects to determine what separates legitimate market makers from unethical ones. We are grateful that Cointelegraph finally sheds light on the reality of market making and all its nuances. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gP75_Vm6

FACTS: Market-making has long been recognized as a crucial service in traditional stock markets, offering essential liquidity to traders and investors alike. It should be recognized the same for digital assets, as it plays a vital role in ensuring liquidity. Our Co-Founder and CTO, Mathias Beke, recently engaged in a detailed discussion with the team at Cointelegraph about the truth behind market making, finally shedding light on this essential aspect of the market.

Cryptocurrencies are inherently volatile and will continue to experience ups and downs, but what does their long-term trajectory look like? The current crypto bull run is distinguished by increasing institutional adoption, greater regulatory clarity, significant technological advancements, and a shift in overall market sentiment. Unlike previous bull runs, this one is happening in an environment where governments and major institutions are beginning to embrace digital assets. Hawksman Technology's latest article suggests that cryptocurrencies could have a lasting impact on the global financial system, potentially transforming it in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Just the other day, a data glitch halting NYSE trading has highlighted the need for secure data delivery in TradFi.Synternet's Data Layer, offering real-time, tamperproof cross-chain data, is a strong solution for these data reliability problems. Cases like this show the necessity to bridge the gap between TradFi and Web3 solutions like decentralized oracles.

It is no secret that I'm not much of a fan of the "looks like a duck, walks like a duck[...], it is a duck" treatment of crypto regulation. Throughout our 7-year history, we at BCAS have undertaken a different approach, one that put technological considerations at the forefront, and the law then applied accordingly. Our findings? As early as 2018, concluding that most stablecoins are not electronic money. 2020, concluding that most governance tokens are not securities. 2021, most liquid staking tokens structured in the right manner are not units in a collective investment scheme. Time and time again, pioneering the way in which crypto-assets should be approached, and time and time again, regulators affirmed our reasoning years later, indirectly also affirming that a tech-first approach trumps a traditional one. The same can be said for due diligence/risk analyses in crypto - comparing code with natural language documentation, launching the first decentralisation audits in 2021, and so on. What has been a secret for some months, and we're now looking to tease publicly for the first time, is that we've been developing our first ever product that will reshape the manner in which crypto compliance is done. A product which will drastically reduce costs, significantly speed up the onboarding of new crypto-assets, and set the standard by which tokens are assessed. For the first time as well, we're looking to onboard new external partners with the right profile, either by way of investment (equity, seed round underway) or early access/testing rights. More than welcome to reach out to me if you have a genuine interest in this. Sneak-peek of what we're building below; we're retiring the duck, and bringing in the goose. Alike, but not the same - welcome to a new era of crypto 🪿
