Shortly after news of Coinbase's IPO (Initial Public Offering) application spread, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) came after Ripple, accusing it of raising massive funds through issuing unregistered digital asset securities (XRP).

With an IPO on the agenda, Coinbase didn't dare slack off and quickly announced it would suspend XRP trading.
Currently, Bitcoin may be a value storage tool for a few, serving as a hedge against inflation or recognized by many as "digital gold." The institutionalization of assets has clearly shown one thing: Bitcoin is no longer suitable for retail investors, and it may mean different things to different people.

Bitcoin is not a solution to problems, but it has solved several real challenges in traditional finance and economics.

At the end of the year and beginning of next year, Maple Leaf Capital released an iterative report exploring investment themes around the rise of emerging value networks and DeFi investment strategies under this theme. This can be viewed as a meaningful review of the DeFi field in 2020 and a worthwhile outlook for 2021.
Even with advance notice of receiving an SEC lawsuit, Ripple failed to stop panicked investors from selling off.

The emergence of digital assets will threaten the U.S. dollar's dominant position globally, but overthrowing the current global reserve currency dollar is not easy. After the end of World War II, the Bretton Woods Agreement formally established the U.S. dollar's unchallenged dominant position in 1944, since then the global monetary system has been centered on the dollar. While the United States controls the world's reserve currency, it has also enhanced the country's already enormous geopolitical influence and its ability to run massive deficits at low cost. Today, an increasing number of experts believe that the dollar's hegemonic position may be declining.

Key Points: The distribution deadline for crypto assets related to the bankrupt exchange Mt. Gox case will close on December 15. This "liquidation compensation plan" involves distributing nearly 140,000 Bitcoin to users who lost funds during the Mt. Gox exchange bankruptcy. These Bitcoin are currently worth $2.6 billion.
