Bitcoin rose by 1.12 per cent, while Ethereum rose by 2.04 per cent in last 24 hours
YouTube has shut down cryptocurrency-focused channels without any prior notice. Bankless, Optimism Collective, and Gabriel Haines have had their channels shut down. The Bankless channel has over 150,000 subscribers and 10,000 hours of content. It was taken down “without notice or justification”, according to its owner.
According to Forbes, other channels were also shut down by YouTube without explanation, only to be reinstalled later, again without explanation. The Bitcoin audience was outraged by YouTube’s action, which they perceived as an attack on the community.
The Bankless channel was later unbanned, and the founder invited her for a talk on Web3 and non-fictitious currencies.
Elsewhere, regulators have flagged Stablecoins as a potential threat to financial stability. They are backed by assets that can lose value or become illiquid in times of market stress. TerraUSD broke its 1:1 peg to the dollar, and fell as low as $0.67 on Monday.
The TerraUSD is a Stablecoin that maintains reserves in assets like cash or commercial paper. Runs on Stablecoins could spill over into the traditional financial system, regulators have said. Still, regulators are divided on the size of the threat a crypto crash poses to the financial system.
