The launch of the cryptocurrency could be delayed due to regulatory concerns around the world, Bertrand Perez, executive director and chief operating officer of the Libra Association, told Reuters. "When we announced it in June, that was our goal, but a delay of one or two quarters is not a problem," Perez said of Libra's 2020 launch plans. (Reuters)

In this round of BTC crash, most of the sellers held their positions for no more than 30 days
Cryptocurrency trader Luke Martin said that Bitcoin is expected to recover and rise to $9,000 after falling 23%, which will relieve some pressure on the cryptocurrency market. Martin believes that, historically, the opening of new contracts for Bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) has had a positive impact on BTC’s price action. Last month, for example, bitcoin rallied 11 percent against the dollar a week after the new CME bitcoin futures contract opened. (CCN)

The IMF proposes two options for stablecoin regulation, one of which is to require suppliers to use central bank reserves to back their stablecoins
IMF Proposes Two Options for Stablecoin Regulation
On September 26, the official website of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) issued a document stating that it is doubtful whether stablecoins are indeed stable. The IMF article mentioned two options: One option is to require stablecoin suppliers to hold safe, liquid assets and sufficient net asset value to protect stablecoin holders from losses. Another option is to require stablecoin providers to fully back their stablecoins with the safest and most liquid asset — central bank reserves. Clearly, doing so would enhance the attractiveness of stablecoins as a store of value. It would essentially turn stablecoin providers into narrowly defined banks — institutions that don’t lend, but hold central bank reserves. It will also intensify competition with commercial banks for customer deposits. (IMF official website)
