cryptocurrencies

Spanish banks have no problem letting you buy cryptocurrencies. What they don’t want to do is advise you on them.

by

In March 2025 BBVA he stuck out his chest. It was the first large traditional bank in Spain that allowed its clients to operate in cryptocurrencies. Then other entities such as CaixaBank and OpenBank followed. In all of these cases there is a crucial detail: one thing is that they let you operate with cryptos. It’s quite another to advise you on how to do it. You cook it, you eat it. That traditional banking has made this move is definitive proof that cryptocurrencies have managed to convince even this very conservative sector. But these institutions are not willing to risk too much, so although they allow their clients to buy or sell cryptocurrencies, they leave all responsibility to the client: they do not advise or advise. And it’s not likely that they will. Nobody wants to advise. A report published by the ESMA and the EBA reveals that the vast majority of entities follow the same pattern: they allow trading with cryptocurrencies, but do not advise clients about them. Of the 110 entities that have achieved authorization of the MiCA regulation in Europe, only 20 have requested to provide crypto advice. 11 provide recommendations (like eToro) and another nine offer portfolio management. There is a clear reason why these entities leave the ball in the clients’ court. Too much risk. Caution is absolute not only on the part of traditional banking, but also of traditional exchanges or trading markets. These entities, which have traditionally been the only resource for users to operate with cryptocurrencies, have never offered advisory services, and one was clear when investing that they assumed full responsibility for their actions. The surprise is that exactly the same thing happens with traditional banking. They ignore it, and they do so because they have no interest in advising: the reputational risk is too high, and the volatility of these assets makes it especially difficult to make reliable recommendations. Crypto analyzes guarantee (almost) nothing. As explained in five days Gliroia Hernández Aler, co-founder and partner of finReg360, “Crypto assets have the value that the market assigns to them. By not having an underlying that can be analyzed, such as an income statement, for example, it is difficult to base advice on objective data. Although there is more and more news that can impact bitcoin, it is difficult to do a quantitative analysis with traditional methods.” MiCA opened the market. Europe wanted to try to regularize that “wild west” that the crypto market had become. To this end, in mid-2023 it approved the MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets) regulation, a European regulation to regularize this activity. Among other things, it offers consumer and investor protection and establishes measures to prevent market abuses. Banks as the new exchanges. We had to wait two years to see how the first banks took advantage of this regulation, but little by little more and more entities joined in. The message was clear: you no longer have to resort to “mysterious” cryptocurrency trading markets (exchanges). You can buy at your usual bank.

An experiment has put four chatbots from the US and two from China to invest $10,000 in cryptocurrencies. The Chinese are sweeping

by

What would happen if you gave GPT-5 $10,000 to invest in cryptocurrencies? What if you gave them to other models at the same time and they competed with each other? That’s just the idea they had in Nof1…and the result is fascinating. Six models investing in cryptos. Those responsible for Nof1 have created Alpha Arena, a new type of benchmark that according to them “gets more difficult the smarter the AI ​​is.” The idea is relatively simple: measure the performance of six cutting-edge models to see how they perform when given $10,000 (real) and invested in cryptocurrencies in real markets. The contenders are the following: GPT-5 Gemini 2.5 Pro Claude Sonnet 4.5 Grok 4 DeepSeek Chat v3.1 Qwen 3 Max DeepSeek has turned his $10,000 into almost $20,000, and Qwen into $15,000, fantastic. GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro have lost 65% of their value and are both at $3,500. Total disaster. DeepSeek and Qwen triumph, GPT-5 and Gemini sink. The result of these 11 days since this “race” began is fascinating. The two Chinese models, DeepSeek and Qwen, have obtained enormous benefits: in DeepSeek the return is 97% at the moment (it was as high as 123%), while Qwen is not doing badly at 53%. Claude (0.84%) and Grok (-8.2%) are maintaining or losing slightly, but pay attention, because GPT-5 (-65.7%) and Gemini 2.5 Pro (66%) are currently losing two thirds of what they invested. The summary of winners and losers not only shows that positive or negative return, but also something curious: the number of operations. GPT-5 (75 moves) and especially Gemini 2.5 Pro (193!) are extremely restless. Although it does not have to be this way always, those who operate the least are the ones who are earning the most. Crypto fortunes that come and go. For this experiment, the models can invest in six of the most relevant cryptocurrencies on the market: bitcoin, ethereum, dogecoin, ripple, solana and BNB. The models decide whether to take positions in one or several, as well as the amounts and level of leverage. Positions are normally held for a few hours, although in some cases they may be held for days. Learning little by little. All of them have been competing since last October 18 in the “first season” of an experiment that will last until November 3. As explain its creatorsthis first iteration will allow us to obtain the first conclusions about how these models perform in the financial field. Here we come to earn money. The goal is simple: maximize profits and minimize losses (PnL). This first season is just that, because from then on we will apply what we have learned after each season to polish the prompts and add new features to the experiment and thus create models that in theory will perform better and better when investing in financial markets. Algorithmic trading at its best. What these models are doing would be crazy for human investors, especially since all of them not only expose themselves to the volatility of the crypto market, but also multiply it because they make use of the leverage (leverage). With this mechanism one can achieve huge profits much faster, but the risk is also extreme. The models in fact use absolutely extraordinary leverages of 20x or 25x, and can take either short positions (short, you “bet” that the price of an asset will go down) or long (long, you “bet” that the price of the asset will go up). The operation of the benchmark experiment is relatively simple, but it will become more complicated in future seasons. Machines don’t panic. To try to control these risks, the models have clear rules in their prompts regarding risk limits (establishing clear stop loss signals, for example) or confidence in their criteria. And furthermore, they follow them, which allows the models to maintain their position unless these signals occur. Here, by the way, we are talking about medium or low frequency trading: decisions are made in minutes or even hours, not in microseconds. That, the creators say, allows us to answer the question of whether a model can make good decisions if it has enough time and information. Don’t even think about doing it at home.. This experiment is just that, an experiment, and in fact financially speaking it is leaking everywhere. To begin with, because the trial period of this first season is extremely short and does not allow long-term behavior to be evaluated. And finally (among many other things), because the information to which the models have access is very limited. They do not take into account news related to this area and only have numerical data that correspond to average prices and current and historical volumes, and some technical indicators. That information. On the right side DeepSeek v3.1 confesses how it maintains its position because no condition that invalidates it is met, and by clicking on it you can see what it takes into account (value of BTC or ETH, for example) to modify or not modify that criterion. The models tell everything. One of the sections of the interface shows the “Model Chat” where it is possible to see how each model “reflects” on its position. If we click on that reflection we can see all the current and historical data with which he has worked to reach that decision (I maintain my position, I change it) and thus we can find out at all times his reasons for making a move. Just because they win now doesn’t mean they are the best.. Those responsible for Nof1 explain that this is not about declaring the best trading model of the six, because this is just an experiment. As they say, “we are deeply aware of the flaws of this first season, including, but not limited to: response bias, limited sample sizes/lack of statistical rigor, and brevity of the evaluation period.” This experiment will be repeated over different seasons and with new features that will be added to the decision … Read more

Israel is not only attacking Iran with missiles. He also just steal 90 million dollars in cryptocurrencies

by

It is not much less cryptocurrency theft more large in historybut those 90 million dollars are especially significant for whom they are involved and why. Those involved They are Israel and Iran. And why, unfortunately, The war that they maintain both nations. Israel hacking to Iran. The war between Israel and Iran is intensified, and does not only New and striking tactics On the battlefield. It also does it through cyber warmen. A group called Gonjeshke Darande, (predatory sparrow, in a translation from the Persian) Hackeo has been attributed of the Iranian market of Cryptodivisas Nobitex. Possible link to Israel. There is no definitive evidence of a direct link between the Government of Israel and this grip hacker, Sophos experts indicate. Rafe Pilling, Director of Intelligence of Threats in that firm, explained that the cyber attack had all the characteristics of an attack supported by a government. 90? Millions of dollars. The Hacker Group has achieved according to The Guardian steal 90 million dollars, although the page of the Wikipedia Persian edition It indicates that the robbery amounted to 3.76 billion rials, about 47 million dollars, although that money may be stolen from one of the two troonscan wallets destination From Gonjeshke Darende they have also threatened to publish both the company’s internea information and the source code of its cryptodivsis purchase platform. The final amount is not entirely clear, and According to Cointegraph It is exceeding 81.7 million dollars. Cold purses, safe. The attack, They support Nobitexhas allowed to steal the cryptocurrencies of the “hot” purses of the platform, used to facilitate daily transactions. He has not affected cold, safer purses. Nubitex blocked access to the platform as soon as they and those responsible say that “all damages will be compensated through the insurance fund.” In a later message They have revealed that the impact of the attack is “more complex than it was initially estimated.” And above, Internet cuts. From Nobitex they explain that their capacity to respond to cyber attack has also been affected by the cuts in the country’s internet infrastructure, “together with limited access to the facilities due to the current national crisis.” They hope to recover and restore their services in the next 4 or 5 days, but in the meantime the platform is still unable to be accessed. A hacking with political motivation.Yehor Rudytsia, security researcher at the Hacken firm, said in Cintelegraph how this cyber attack is more “a political statement than a robbery with economic motivation.” In fact, according to The Guardian the hackers have “burned” those funds storing them in custom addresses (“Vanity Addresses“) that they do not have a known private password or possibility of recovering. For example, a purse such as” 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Transferring cryptocurrencies to this type of addresses is actually destroying them voluntarily by leaving them blocked forever. The hackers have used directions with variations of the term “Jo *** Osterrorists”.

Bitcoin encryption and other cryptocurrencies will fall. And those responsible will be quantum computers

by

Experts Quantum computing They have known for several years that quantum computers will end classical cryptography. One of them, Juan José García Ripoll, a researcher at the Institute of Fundamental Physics of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) who develops his research activity within the quantum information group and foundations of quantum theory, He warned us During the conversation we had with him in October 2019. That moment arrived in May 2024. A team of researchers from the University of Shanghai (China) led by Professor Wang Chao used a D-Wave quantum computer for I successfully violate the SPN encryption (Substitation-Permutation Network), which is a cryptographic algorithm that is used to encrypt information. This encryption is the cornerstone of, for example, the AES standard (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is used a lot. These scientists published the result of their research in An interesting article entitled “Public Cryptographic Attack Algorithm based on quantum processing with the advantage of D-Wave”. Interestingly, Professor Wang Chao and his team used two strategies to carry out their attack on cryptographic algorithms. The first one consists of broad strokes to deliver to the quantum computer the combination of an optimization problem and another search. Quantum machines are very effective when solving these challenges. And the second strategy consists in combining Schnorr’s algorithm, Babai rounding and a quantum method of optimization. In any case, the most interesting thing is that these Chinese scientists concluded that AES-256 and other military degree encryption algorithms are closer than ever to be violated. Google says that quantum machines will break the encryption of cryptocurrencies During my conversation with Juan José García Ripoll I did not let the opportunity to ask what would happen when quantum computers were able to violate the most advanced encryption technologies we currently use. “In principle, quantum computers will make the encryption algorithms that we use. For this reason there is a research area in mathematics and cryptography: cryptography resistant to quantum computers. It is a very difficult field of work. The alternative to the fact that many codes can break with quantum computers is to use quantum systems for cryptography,” Ripoll holds. An RSA integer of 2,048 bits can be factor in less than a week with a quantum computer of less than one million cubits The course of time has proved him right. And it is that several Google researchers less than a week ago They published an entry In the blog dedicated to the security of this American company in which they support a crucial premise: an integer RSA (Rivest – Shamir – Adleman) of 2,048 bits can factor in less than a week with a quantum computer of less than one million cubits. One of the most advanced quantum processors that currently exist, IBM Condor Chipagglutina 1,121 superconductor cubits, so it is evident that we still do not have quantum machines with the necessary power to violate RSA encryption. However, they could be ready before we suspect. The quantum machine described by Google researchers use noisy cubits, and IBM’s official itinerary argues that ‘Starling’, its first quantum hardware endowed with the ability to correct their own mistakes, It will arrive in 2029. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the other modern cryptocurrencies use a cryptography technique known as elliptical curve that is more robust, efficient and difficult to break than RSA, but its mathematical foundations are similar to those of the latter encryption algorithm. In fact, according to Google scientists signed by the article that I have mentioned above, if the future quantum computers will cost them less than initially breaking the RSA encryption, the cryptography of elliptical curve will also fall with relative ease. It is still not clear What capabilities will have to have quantum machines which will be able to violate this encryption technique, but According to a research group from Kent University (United Kingdom), Bitcoin can update the encryption of the entire network without “turning it off” in approximately ten months.

The recipe for the greatest robbery of cryptocurrencies in history

by

When we buy cryptocurrencies from an application, we usually leave our assets stored directly on the platform itself. This means that the safety of our investments depends on a digital purse managed by a third party. But experience shows that these applications are not 100% armored against computer attacks, so our assets could end up being violated or even stolen. Many bybit users, One of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the worldThey have recently suffered an unprecedented blow. A group of cybercriminals linked to North Korea He has perpetrated the greatest robbery of cryptodivisas in history. An attack that not only affected the platform, but also leaves key lessons on the safety and risks of the crypto ecosystem. An unprecedented robbery. As we mentioned a few weeks agoon February 21 Bybit suffered a serious security failure that resulted in the theft of 1.5 billion dollars in cryptocurrencies. But how is it possible that a platform that manages about 20,000 million dollars in deposits has been the victim of an attack of such magnitude? Let’s see. The origin of the attack. Computer attacks rarely occur for a single failure. In most cases, they are the combination of several factors that ends up opening the door to a security gap. That is exactly what happened in the recent attack on Bybit, whose outcome could have been avoided if measures had been taken on time. In July 2024, the cybersecurity firm Check Point published a technical report in which he warned about a weakness in SAFEfree software used in cryptocurrency operations. According to the document, the Exectransaction function could be exploited to manipulate transaction data and execute malicious code. Between three and four months before the attack, the CEO of Bybit, Ben Zhou, admitted that his team had already detected compatibility problems between Safe and its security systems. But the warning did not translate into concrete measures. “We should have updated and away from Safe,” Zhou acknowledged in an interview with The New York Times. An invisible trap. On February 21, shortly before midnight, Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, connected from home to approve, along with two other executives, an important transfer from Ether from a multisig account linked to the platform. A routine operation in appearance, but would end in disaster. To sign the transaction, he used his Ledger physical wallet, trusting the information that the interface showed on his computer. In the eyes of the signatories, everything seemed in order: addresses, amounts and functions coincided with what was expected. But what they did not know was that the attackers had already committed part of Safe’s infrastructure. A malicious code inserted in the system manipulated the information on the screen, causing Zhou and his team to approve, without knowing it, a fraudulent transaction. The result was inevitable: the funds ended in a purse controlled by the attackers. Everything was recorded in the blockchain, but it was too late. Panic call. Around 30 minutes later, the financial director (CFO) of Bybit telephoned Zhou in a trembling voice: “The entire Ether has disappeared.” Zhou departed without delay towards the Bybit offices in Singapore and initiated an internal crisis protocol known as P-1 where all members of the leadership team are awakened. But there were little to do. Transactions of this type cannot be reversed. Their efforts focused on investigating what happened, giving tranquility to customers and applying changes to improve security. A brilliant strategy. The problem was not in the intelligent contract code or in the Multisig system. There was no failure in these points, but a well -orchestrated trap: the attackers manipulated the interface and the signature flow, deceiving the signatories to authorize false transactions without realizing it. And there is the true nightmare: you can count on multiple signatures and high level, but if everyone sees the same and what they see is a hoax, the attack is consumed without major obstacles.

Banks spent years criticizing cryptocurrencies. The BBVA will soon allow to operate with Bitcoin and ETH from its app

by

Almost exactly four years ago that the Bank of Spain (BDE) and the National Commission of Markets and Competition (CNMV) published a joint statement. In it They warned of the risk of investing in cryptocurrenciesespecially due to its “extreme volatility, complexity and lack of transparency.” Thus, they qualified them as a “high -risk commitment.” Four years later it seems that the opinion of these experts has changed. And a lot. BBVA will allow Buy and Sell Bitcoin and Eth. As the entity indicatestoday the CNMV has approved the BBVA “to provide custody and execution services of cryptoactive sale orders in Spain.” This will initially make the bank offer the possibility of operating with Bitcoin and ETH (Ethereum). The EU opens the door to the crypts in traditional banking. The notification of the CNMV is one of the procedures necessary by the regulation on cryptoactive markets (Mica for its acronym in English). This regulation was activated on December 30, and regulates this type of services in the European Union. This allows BBVA to offer those services, something that has already begun to do In 2021 in Switzerland and in 2023 in Türkiye. All from the app. As they point out in BBVA, customers in Spain can operate directly from the app that they now use to see their accounts, their investments and its traditional bank operation. Thus, they will unify both conventional and those dedicated to cryptocurrencies in the same application that was used so far, and that will have an area dedicated to these efforts. Key custody. The new service will feature an own cryptographic custody platform. In the BBVA they point out that this will allow to maintain control without depending on third parties, and thus be able to safeguard the cryptoactives of its customers. But the responsibility is from the client. In the BBVA they clarify, of course, that the bank will not advise customers, but will focus on facilitating these operations. Thus, although they will offer the ability to buy cryptoactive, they will not make recommendations to customers, thus avoiding possible responsibilities to the well -known volatility of these cryptodivises. It remains to know if the BBVA will warn customers of possible risks in investments like these. Caixabank and Bankinter do not trust. While BBVA takes that step, other entities prefer not to launch to this market. Gloria Ortiz, CEO of Bankinter, He declared recently that “it is impossible to advise anyone about something that has no value” referring to cryptocurrencies. While Gonzalo Cortázar, his Caixabank counterpart, indicated that “Bitcoin has a volatility that we all know and other cryptocurrencies, too. It is difficult to advise on the fundamentals of Bitcoin. I would not know how to do it and our teams, at this time, either.” Bankinter will not offer to operate with crypts to its customers. Caixabank yes, but not proactively. To repudiate them to hug them. In recent years we have lived a 180º turn of the position of financial institutions on cryptodivises. Many continue to show their reservations, yes. The International Payment Bank (BIS) He described This market of a “self -referential” system and highlighted how “no real economic activity” does not finance. Even so, in the US, the approval of the cryptodivisas ETFs already laid the foundations for the general public to access these assets. He strategic cryptoring project Donald Trump makes clear the position of the US government, and more and more banks want to take advantage of this new institutional perception of cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies were supposed to “become” independent “from the power of states. The US has just killed him

by

Donald Trump has just given the green light of cryptocurrencies that will be part of the Strategic cryptocurrency reserve in the US. His arrival involves the failure of the foundations on which Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrencies were created: a free “decentralized” economy of the power of governments. The strategic cryptocurrency reserve. In July 2024, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis presented A bill for the creation of a “Bitcoins Strategic Reserve”. This reserve would be generated from the differentials between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury of the United States, investing that surplus in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies to maintain stable value. Lummis’s first proposal was to take control of 1 million bitcoins, 5% of the existing total. The objective of obtaining a large volume of cryptocurrencies is that, a state state or entity (in this case USA, although it can be extrapolated to any other country) Acquire and keep A significant volume of cryptocurrencies. This volume will serve as alternative financial support in situations of economic crisis, geopolitical tensions or steep fluctuations in the value of traditional goods and assets. The contradiction. The creation of this reserve makes the states a safeguard of stability in the price of cryptocurrencies due to the predictability of their public investment plans, or executioners of your investors When they decide to get rid of their enormous positions. Trump already showed his intention to take control of Bitcoin using this formula, As reported Reuters. In short, as gigantic market whalesstates would take control of the value of crypts as they do with gold, or with the Intervention in the Fiat currency. They only have to change their behavior with respect to that currency and its value will grow or devalue. When Trump has given him his support, the price of cryptocurrencies has grownwhen the Biden administration retired it, They collapsed. The problem: cryptocurrencies do not exist. The opposite voices To the measure approved by Donald Trump to create a national cryptocurrency reserve, they point out that, unlike other reserves, cryptocurrencies are a purely speculative instrument in which its value depends on what the buyer is willing to pay for him. States use their national strategic reserves (oil, gas, gold, grain or vaccines) for shock the impact of increasing of those assets before their Supply shortagegeopolitical crisis, etc. That is, they have an impact on the supplies and services of their citizens. Instead, a cryptocurrency reserve would only benefit those who have investments in chiptomyned, regardless of whether they live in the US, China or Mozambique, such and as they point out from Financial Times. “The background would give Bitcoin speculators the security that when the crisis arrives, the State will use this fund to rescue them,” said Ramaa Vasudevan, professor of Economics at the State University of Colorado to Inventopedia. The US decides the winners. With the creation of this US strategic reserve, the supposed freedom of cryptocurrencies has been conditioned by the choice of certain currencies, which ensure their stability and future growth, compared to others that do not have that support, As you remember in CNBC. Adam Blumberg, co -founder and Vice President of Advice Services of Enclave Group pointed out the enormous contradiction that exists in a government (especially that of a superpower such as the US) Control an asset Decentralized “In the next elections a new administration could arrive that needs to find money to pay debts or social security, and could sell the reservation (cryptocurrencies) were not created for that and puts too much power in the hands of the federal government, which is always in a cycle of four or even two years,” said the expert. End of the dream of freedom. As Bloomberg pointed out In one of its publishersthe origin of cryptocurrencies was to allow people to make economic transactions without centralized intermediaries such as banks or governments. With the creation of this or other state reserves, what we are are are active and controlled by the governments and agencies of those who tried to flee that invest in them the money of all citizens (they want or not invest it).

The Civil Guard disarticulates a money laundering that moved three million euros per week in cryptocurrencies

by

The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to whitening capitals through cryptocurrencies. As reported by the agency, 23 people have been arrested in the operation and more than 30 million euros have been intervened, mostly in cryptoactives. Ifade-Yuzuk. That is the denomination that this operation has received whose beginnings date back to 2023, when the investigation began thanks to the “identification of suspicious actions within the framework of the Civil Guard prevention work” in certain Spanish airports. The criminal organization was “perfectly structured and hierarchized” and composed of at least 52 members. What did they do? As explained by the Civil Guard in A statementthe organization was dedicated to money laundering using crypts as a vehicle. The group “bought” the cash obtained illegally and compensated by cryptocurrency transactions, charging a commission between two and three percent. Subsequently, that cash was “sold” and compensated in cryptocurrencies paying similar commissions. “In this way, the organization managed to maintain stable balance in the wallets used, guaranteeing a cadence between four and six weekly operations, with a flow of three million euros a week,” says the Civil Guard. Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The money trail. The cash came from the sale of goods introduced in Spain opaquely for the tax authorities, such as falsifications. These products ended in Badalona (Barcelona) or Manises (Valencia) establishments, although the majority of premises involved were in a Madrid town. The money was extracted from Spain through commercial flights, clandestinely or through statements of means of payment. The main destination was Cyprus, although later criminals began using road transport to sell illicit money both in Spain and in France and Portugal. As the Civil Guard details, “cash deliveries have been detected in different Spanish provinces (Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Malaga, Castellón, Valencia and Alicante), Cyprus, France and Portugal.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard An operation of several countries. Operation IFADE-YUZUK has had two phases. One in the Ortrew of 2024, dedicated to the disarticulation of the organization in Spain, Cyprus and France; and another in November focused on its customers. The coordination of the judicial and fiscal authorities of Spain, Chipre and Germany, as well as the Europol and Eurojust, has been required. It has also cooperated with T3 TCE (initiative of Tron, Tether and TRM Labs companies), thanks to which the preventive blockade of more than 26.4 million USDT “has been achieved; and with Binance, which has blocked “29 accounts with balances worth approximately $ 152,000.” Operation Ifade-Yuzuk | Image: Civil Guard The result. All this operation has been paid with 90 records in homes and social venues, of which 77 have been in Spain. 23 arrests have also been carried out, 20 of which have been in national territory. Finally, it should be noted that numerous computer devices, 36 vehicles, 8.2 million euros effective, 27 million euros in cryptocurrencies, real estate and more than two million in bank accounts have been intervened.

Ivanka Trump denounces the existence of a cryptocurrency that falsely bears her name

by

Ivanka Trump, eldest daughter of the nation’s president, warned American investors about the existence of a cryptocurrency that falsely bears his name. Through a message published on platform “I have learned that a fake cryptocurrency called ‘Ivanka Trump’ or ‘$IVANKA’ is being promoted without my consent or approval. To be clear: I have no relationship with this coin. This fake currency risks misleading consumers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money, and the unauthorized use of my name and image is a violation of my rights. “This promotion is misleading, exploitative and unacceptable,” he said. The announcement of Ivanka Trump arises after his father signed a executive order that promotes cryptocurrencies under the commitment to make the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” Unlike Donald Trump’s first stage in the presidency, Ivanka Trump this time ruled out working as his advisor. (Credit: Wilfredo Lee / AP) Since Donald Trump assumed the US presidency for the second time, the value of Bitcoin, the longest-lived cryptocurrency on the market, began to increase to exceed $105,000. Years ago, the New York tycoon came to cryptocurrencies as a “scam,” but during his campaign seeking to return to Washington he modified his speech by testifying how they have become the new market for investors from around the world. However, through the order signed by Trump, the establishment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) is prohibited, this with the aim of strengthening the trust placed in the dollar as the world reserve currency since July 1944.
