This month has been a roller coaster ride for the Crypto World. While Bitcoin showed signs of
resurgence, there were certain Crypto Assets that tanked due to various reasons. Overall, the
Market has seen a happy ending in the month of January 2023.
With the changes coming in Crypto Pricing, even the market has started looking positive. With
this optimistic sentiment, the overall market perspective is seeing a change. There are some
hush-hush voices in the Investor Circles about the next Bull Run getting started.
But this all is just a phase. To our perception, this is just a long due positive move as a result of the
suppression of the genuine Crypto Market Valuation because of a series of collapses in the Crypto
Exchanges.
One interesting thing to observe here is that the projects that saw a downfall were not directly
related to Crypto Technology. They were all built on the long-standing desire of the human race to
play on the Financial Valuation of anything, which in this case was Blockchain Technology. So, to
sum it up, it was not the Blockchain Industry that went into a loss, it was actually the Financial
Companies, playing on the speculation of the valuation of Blockchain Technology, that suffered
losses and collapse because of their greedy adventures.
But there are a few technology companies that are working day and night to create an impact on
our lives with the help of Blockchain Technology. Coin Gabbar appreciates all the builders that
stand committed to the development irrespective of the negativities prevalent in the market, in
the hope of Sunny days ahead.
Bitcoin kicked off 2023 with a bang, as investors
eagerly anticipated a reversal of the monetary
tightening that had caused market panic in the
previous year. After a tumultuous 2022, the cryptocurrency market experienced a remarkable
turnaround in January, with the tokens that had
suffered the most losses the previous year experiencing the most gains. Bitcoin's impressive
monthly performance resulted in significant gains
for APT, GALA, T, MANA, and SOL, making them
the top-performing altcoins of the month.
Mastercard and Binance have said that a
prepaid card backed by Bitcoin and other
cryptocurrencies will be available in Brazil.
Brazil probably has the largest economy in
Latin America. The Brazilian version will
"allow all new and existing Binance users in
Brazil with a valid national ID to make
purchases and pay bills with cryptocurrencies." As per reports, it will charge a 0.9% fee
for each bitcoin transaction. It will also offer
8% cash back on certain purchases and will
not charge for ATM withdrawals.
It was a tough month for crypto employees,
because this month, at least 14 businesses,
including Coinbase, Gemini, Digital Currency
Group, ConsenSys, and Blockchain.com,
announced staff reductions. At least 2,900
cryptocurrency employees were laid off in the
first month of 2023 across 14 different
cryptocurrency organizations as the industry's
businesses tightened their belts.
The month of April has raised some hopes for the Crypto Enthusiasts. The market has been stable
overall giving a hope that good times lie ahead. The prices of the leading Assets have shown a
consistent pace of growth paving way for the altcoins to follow the trend.
But the growth of the market has more or less shown stability, and this is an indicator of the times
where returns will be in percentage and not in multiples, as the earlier market has proven.
Although, a few tokens like Pepe Coin are still striving to defy the fundamental logic of asset valuation, but overall the market has shown a systematic growth with stable fundamentals to follow.
The last month also saw the dominance of the US Dollar getting challenged. There are a number of
developments that raised the hopes of Bitcoin Holders which include the start of the acceptance of
the Chinese currency by a group of nations and the alternative acceptance of Bitcoin along with
Fiat led to a positive hope building in the Crypto Corners of the world.
Also, as the SEC tightened its grip on Coinbase, the Exchange retaliated valiantly giving a clear message to the regulators that the Crypto world no longer intends to live in the shadows and that it is
not longer going to bullied at will. The message was cleary given that the Crypto world wants its due
share in the Financial World.
The Crypto Market has started 2023 on a positive trajectory, with many tokens showing signs of
recovery after enduring a tumultuous period in the previous year. Although the prices are still
considerably lower than their all-time highs witnessed during the 2021 bull run, there is a discernible uptick in the overall sentiment of the market.
Since the start of 2023, Bitcoin (BTC) has surged by over 79.45%. This impressive growth can be
attributed to the recent crisis in the banking sector, which has highlighted Bitcoin's fundamental
qualities as a decentralized, trustless, and limited digital asset.
Bitcoin has continued its upward climb for the fourth
consecutive month, following a slight increase in April.
This marks the longest stretch of consecutive monthly
gains since March 2021, when Bitcoin experienced a
six-month advance. The year 2023 has been a dynamic
period for the cryptocurrency industry, particularly
Bitcoin's price, which experienced a substantial surge
that caught many crypto analysts off-guard this month.
Bitcoin has breached the crucial resistance level of
$30,000, which was last observed in June 2022. The coin
made a new Yearly high of $31,000 but retraced sharply
amidst macro headwinds. It reversed some of the losses
at time of writing, posting over 4.31% at the end of April.
The question on everyone's mind is whether the second
half of 2023 will witness a slow and steady growth trajectory or a sharp rally that enables the cryptocurrency
market to recoup all the losses incurred in 2022. Only
time will tell, as the market continues to evolve and
mature.
The financial markets concluded the week, month, and quarter on a positive note.
Asset values, including cryptocurrencies and equities, closed the day higher. This
provided a glimmer of hope for investors who have been feeling apprehensive due to
the increasing number of global economic concerns.
Bitcoin's recent surge hit a snag when it reached the $30,000 mark, resulting in a period
of consolidation. The rally was fueled in part by a decrease in the value of the dollar, as
well as an increase in both liquidity and volatility. However, it seems that this momen-
tum has come to a halt due to the ongoing global banking crisis. Despite a federal
regulatory crackdown on crypto companies and a market environment that is becom-
ing increasingly risk-averse, the token has continued to soar. In fact, BTC/USD has
reached a peak not seen in nine months.
Bitcoin is on the cusp of confirming its first Quarterly Bullish Engulfing Candle since
early 2020, which is a noteworthy development. Historical data indicates that such
candles have frequently preceded multiple quarters of upward momentum in the crypto-
currency market. In the first quarter of 2023, Bitcoin experienced a substantial price
surge, rising by over 72.25%. This is a promising sign for investors and traders who are
looking to capitalise on the cryptocurrency market's potential for growth.
Upon analysing the technical aspects of Bitcoin's price action during this period, it is
evident that the last three candlesticks on the monthly chart accurately depict the
performance of the first quarter.
In January, Bitcoin experienced a significant surge, resulting in a nearly 40%
increase in prices. However, this upward trend was short-lived as it encountered a
resistance barrier at the September 2022 high of $22,800. This event was marked by
the emergence of a long, full-bodied candle in the market charts.
In February, prices opened and closed at a similar level, just above the September
2022 high. According to technical analysis, the Doji is a single-candlestick pattern that
occurs when a narrow-body forms in the middle of the monthly range, which in this
case is the February high and low. This pattern indicates indecision in the market as
both bulls and bears fail to gain traction, resulting in prices settling around the monthly
open.
In March, a full-body candle with a long lower-wick was observed. This was accom-
panied by the failure of the aforementioned banks, which led to an increase in demand
for Bitcoin. As a result, prices surged past a significant level of prior resistance and are
now holding steady above the 50-month moving average. This trend indicates a strong
support level for
For March, the crypto market saw a close to positive mode. At the time of writing, the
global cryptocurrency market cap stands at $1.23 trillion, a rise of 7.90% in the last
month. At the start of the month, the total crypto market cap was $1.14 trillion.

This article is designed to analyze the cryptocurrency market from an economical perspective during the period from 2018 to 2022 with several
instances from other timelines.
Economics & Public Policy
Equilibrium
Supply Shifts
While bitcoin supply is extremely transparent, bitcoin demand is rather
opaque. That said, there are a few quantifiable items that we do know
about bitcoin demand. First, we have a pretty good idea of the number
of bitcoin transactions performed each day. Secondly, and more
importantly, it appears that fluctuations in bitcoin transaction costs
play a major role in determining price corrections. For example, the
number of transactions stopped growing in 2012, about one year
before bitcoin’s 2013 peak and bear market. It began to rise again in
2014 before bitcoin prices began to recover in earnest but have been
stagnating since the end of 2016, perhaps foreshadowing the recent
correction.
Bitcoin’s demand and supply are both considered perfectly inelastic.
The reason is very simple but before that, it is very important to
understand how bitcoin price moves and how bitcoin mining
works.
First thing first, bitcoin has its ultimate quantity of supply which is
known by every buyer/trader/investor, which is only 21 million of
bitcoin. Meanwhile, there are around 18 million bitcoins in
circulation. How then does the quantity of circulation go up? It
depends on the bitcoin miners, as bitcoin miners contribute their
computers’ GPU and electricity to verify the transaction among the
decentralized network, in return, they will be rewarded with bitcoin
from the quantity that is not in circulation (hence the quantity of
the circulating bitcoin goes up). In the long term, the rewards
decrease, while each block is formulated the less the miners can earn.
Published on: 22nd of March 2022 Publisher: Olga Larina
Demand Shifts
The supply inelasticity explains in large part why bitcoin is so volatile. Items with inelastic supply show a greater
response to demand shifts than items with elastic supply. The same is true of demand: the more inelastic the demand, the
greater the price changes in response to small fluctuations in either supply or demand. Bitcoin’s limited and highly
inelastic supply is also a major factor driving its price appreciation, a rise so spectacular that it can only be appreciated
when seen on a log scale. In bitcoin’s first four years, supply grew by roughly 2.5 million coins per year. Even then prices
were rising as the user community grew. Since then supply has continued to grow but the pace has slowed substantially
while demand has occasionally dipped, even on a year-on-year basis. Bitcoin’s limited supply and soaring price make it
difficult to be used as a medium of exchange outside of the cryptocurrency space.

costs is even more compelling. This third spike in

2. This month has been a roller coaster ride for the Crypto World. While Bitcoin showed signs of
resurgence, there were certain Crypto Assets that tanked due to various reasons. Overall, the
Market has seen a happy ending in the month of January 2023.
With the changes coming in Crypto Pricing, even the market has started looking positive. With
this optimistic sentiment, the overall market perspective is seeing a change. There are some
hush-hush voices in the Investor Circles about the next Bull Run getting started.
But this all is just a phase. To our perception, this is just a long due positive move as a result of the
suppression of the genuine Crypto Market Valuation because of a series of collapses in the Crypto
Exchanges.
One interesting thing to observe here is that the projects that saw a downfall were not directly
related to Crypto Technology. They were all built on the long-standing desire of the human race to
play on the Financial Valuation of anything, which in this case was Blockchain Technology. So, to
sum it up, it was not the Blockchain Industry that went into a loss, it was actually the Financial
Companies, playing on the speculation of the valuation of Blockchain Technology, that suffered
losses and collapse because of their greedy adventures.
But there are a few technology companies that are working day and night to create an impact on
our lives with the help of Blockchain Technology. Coin Gabbar appreciates all the builders that
stand committed to the development irrespective of the negativities prevalent in the market, in
the hope of Sunny days ahead.

3. Bitcoin kicked off 2023 with a bang, as investors
eagerly anticipated a reversal of the monetary
tightening that had caused market panic in the
previous year. After a tumultuous 2022, the cryp-
tocurrency market experienced a remarkable
turnaround in January, with the tokens that had
suffered the most losses the previous year experi-
encing the most gains. Bitcoin's impressive
monthly performance resulted in significant gains
for APT, GALA, T, MANA, and SOL, making them
the top-performing altcoins of the month.

In 2023, inflation worries will prompt the Fed
to raise rates again. US inflation is dropping,
according to recent data. In November, the
CPI reported 7% inflation, down from June's
9%.
It is almost certain that the Fed's policy-mak-
ing body will increase the federal fund's
target range to 4.50%-4.75%. That would be
a shift down to a 25-basis-point rise, which
was the FOMC's typical rate hike up until last
year when it was lagging behind in normaliz-
ing its ultra-loose monetary policy.
FOMC expects “continuing rises in the target
range.” Keeping "increases" in its policy state-
ment implies at least two more 25-basis-point
raises.
Recent Fed speakers have supported slowing
rate hikes, pointing to a 25-basis-point hike.
The announcement is to be made on 1st Feb.
Powell's press conference is yet to convey
exact signals.

6. The rally in the cryptocurrency markets
began in early January, with Bitcoin leading
the charge. Bitcoin has had an impressive
start to the year, with a 45.12% surge, making
it the best month since a 40% rally in October
2021 and its best January since 2013. This
remarkable performance has been a boon for
investors, as Bitcoin continues to
demonstrate its potential as a viable asset
class.
On January 1st, Bitcoin (BTC) began its first
day with a small green candle forming a low of
$16,500. The price then continued
it’s upward trajectory, closing near $23,125
on January 31st, representing a gain of
approximately 40%. During the month of
January, Bitcoin made a low of $16,500 and a
high near $23,960. The long-term resistance
line is in the $25,200 area, which is the high of
August 2022. If BTC breaks through this
resistance, it could open up the possibility of a
rally towards $30,000. On the support side,
$22,200 is the major support level; if the
price closes below this, the bears will regain
control and push the price toward the
$20,000 round number.

8. In 2022, cryptocurrencies were the most battered asset class. Over the course of the year, the
overall market capitalization fell by more than 63%. However, in January 2023, the broader
cryptocurrency market showed some positive optimism.
As per CoinGabbar analysis, the top five best-performing assets in January 2023 were Gala,
Solana, Apecoin, Aptos, and Fantom.
Apecoin (APE)
ApeCoin is an ERC-20 token that is used
within the APE Ecosystem to facilitate and
promote community-wide distribution across
the web3. This month, the APE token gained
tremendous traction from the NFT
community.
The price increase transpired because of a
rise in trading volume and the floor prices of
several NFT collections. Reports reveal that if
we compare the fundamental indicators of
the industry with the movement of APE on
the market, Apecoin benefited from the rise
of the NFT market.
Aptos (APT)
Aptos is a layer-1 blockchain that is highly
scalable and adaptable. The APT token has
grown in popularity over the past few
months. The APT price has surged significant-
ly after NFTs became more popular on the
blockchain, with more collections launching
on Aptos.
Furthermore, Binance contributed signifi-
cantly to the recent price movement. The
crypto exchange earlier announced the addi-
tion of two new cryptocurrency liquidity
pools (APT/BTC & APT/USDT).
Gala (GALA)
Gala is a blockchain-based decentralized
gaming ecosystem. The Gala token, the Gala
network's native virtual currency, is utilized
to fuel all transactions inside the ecosystem.
The recent price increase in the GALA token
is owing to the announcement of a new pivot
by the ecosystem's developers. As per
reports, the developers are currently working
on two projects with actors The Rock and
Mark Wahlberg, two of Hollywood's biggest
names. Experts believe that the token has
enormous potential to continue its bull run in
the near future.
Solana (SOL)
Solana is a community-based blockchain
technology that is aiming for long-term
viability. In the past few months, the token
suffered significant losses owing to the fallout
of the crypto exchange FTX. But in January
2023, the token reversed its bearish trend
and started a fresh bull run.
The price increase came after Ethereum
founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his support
for the Solana ecosystem. Another reason
driving the SOL price was the anticipation of a
new memecoin, BONK, development on the
Solana network.

9. Fantom (FTM)
FTM is the native token of the Fantom network, a smart contract platform designed to compete
with Ethereum.
There are various reasons for the FTM price increase, but the most significant overnight news for
the project is an "interchain" communication announcement that advances the Fantom
cross-blockchain interoperability.

10. Fortune favors the brave, especially if you are
brave enough to put your home at stake to buy a

developer, who decided to explore blockchain
during a gambling eve and ended up being the

Today, we are talking about Changpeng Zhao, CEO
of Binance Holdings Ltd., and how he laid the foun-

industry has ever seen.
Binance has withstood everything from massive
hacks to the largest withdrawals the crypto

11. In 2013, CZ stumbled upon Bitcoin when his
friends asked him to invest 10% of his total net
worth in the cryptocurrency. As a software
developer, Zhao was captivated by the
concept and decided to liquidate his
apartment for a million dollars and invest the
entirety in Bitcoin. Unfortunately, the
investment didn't go as planned, as the value
of Bitcoin plummeted from $600 to $200
shortly after. However, CZ persevered and
held onto his Bitcoin, eventually making $17
million from his investments. He then joined
Blockchain.info and later OKCoin as the
project CTO, cementing his place in the cryp-
tocurrency world.
This was the time when CZ decided to build
his own exchange and that is how Binance was
founded in 2017. Binance became an instant
hit in the crypto industry with CZ becoming a
crypto billionaire within 8 months of the
launch of the exchange. The launch of the
Binance exchange was followed by the devel-
opment of Binance Coin (BNB) and later on
Binance Smart Chain in 2020.

There is no doubt about the fact that a large
number of cryptocurrency exchanges are
flourishing in the industry, but Binance is its
undisputed leader. You can get an idea of its size
by the fact that Coinbase, its closest competitor,
has a daily trading volume that is a mere tenth of
Binance's. This demonstrates the sheer
magnitude of Binance's success and its domi-
nance in the industry.
Since its inception, Binance has been committed
to bringing blockchain and cryptocurrencies to
the masses. With only 2% of the world having
adopted cryptocurrencies, Binance has achieved
an impressive annual trading volume of nearly
one trillion. Through its various products and
resources, Binance is striving to reach the
remaining 98%. This demonstrates the immense
potential of Binance in the near future, where
cryptocurrencies will become an integral part of
global commerce.

12. invested it in creating a robust infrastructure
for the Binance exchange. Within just 143
days of its launch, Binance had already
become the third-largest cryptocurrency
exchange in the world. However, due to a shift
in Chinese government policies, Binance had
to relocate outside of China.
The primary factor behind Binance's unstop-
pable rise was its ability to accommodate a
massive user base without any technical
issues. Binance can process up to 1.4 million
orders per second, allowing the exchange to
scale at an unprecedented rate.
The growth of Binance was not without its
challenges. Allegations, anonymous hacks,
regulatory crackdowns, and relocation
outside of China were all obstacles that had to
be overcome. Despite these hurdles, Binance
CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) was able to estab-
lish a dominant presence in the crypto indus-
try.
CZ also used various channels of communica-
tion, such as Twitter, to interact with users
and build trust in the exchange. The success of
Binance's native token BNB became the back-
bone of CZ's execution while also allowing
users to reduce their exchange fees by 50%.
However, the biggest challenge in front of
Binannce was to reach out to those societies
in the world that have never used cryptocur-
rencies before. Binance took the task in hand
and gained unprecedented growth by domi-
nating the countries that were relatively new
to the blockchain space. Binance ensured to
leverage this advantage and became the most
effective multilingual crypto exchange in the
world. Rather than being hindered by the
challenges it faced, Binance used them to its
advantage and developed them into
strengths.

The meteoric rise of Binance has attracted the
attention of government regulators, journal-
ists, and other industry stakeholders. Since
the rise of cryptocurrency, journalists are
particularly interested in the domain and the
sudden rise of Binance did not get unnoticed
by a constant watch. Apart from that Binance
has also given adequate fodder to the media
to dive deeper into questioning its
methodology.
It is to be noted, Binance is a completely
private company and is not bound to make its
accounts public. As a result, the net profit,
loss, cash reserves, and collective revenue of
the exchange are never shared with its users.
This creates a state of ambiguity in which
users of the exchange have close to no infor-
mation about the financials of the exchange
that is the custodian of their
cryptocurrencies.
Apart from that CZ is also accused of creating
an entirely new crypto exchange in the U.S. to
avoid the operations of the main exchange.
This had avoided Binance’s financial opera-
tions from being held accountable in U.S juris-
diction. This was a serious allegation on
Binance. Despite the claims of the exchange
that it has all the regulatory licenses to oper-
ate in Europe, Dubai, and Canada, it is still
under investigation by the authorities for
submitting scant information for legal
approvals.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigat-
ing Binance's role in money laundering and
assisting economies in evading trade sanc-
tions. Adding to Binance's worries, most pros-
ecutors believe they have gathered enough
evidence to bring the exchange and its top
executives under scrutiny. John Reed Stark, a
former chief of the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission's Office of Internet
Enforcement, has also claimed that Binance's
operations are worse than those of FTX, with
no public knowledge of its financials. This has
caused a great deal of concern among inves-
tors and regulators alike.
The FTX Fallout was an event that gained the
attention of the entire world, even those who
were not involved in space. The magnitude of
the loss was so immense that it sent shock-
waves throughout the market. However, the
role of Binance in escalating the entire FTX
fiasco has largely gone unnoticed. To recap, it
was Binance who first tweeted their concerns
about the financials of FTX and proposed to
dilute their $500 million worth of FTT hold-
ings in the market. To ensure that this mass
liquidation would not have a detrimental
effect on the market, Binance promised to do
it in an orderly fashion.
Unfortunately, the entire FTT holdings were
liquidated immediately, causing extreme panic
among investors. The fear, uncertainty, and
doubt that developed during the fallout were
blamed on Binance for allegedly fabricating
the situation to push FTX to its breaking point.
Some of the top minds in the market even
accused Binance of orchestrating the entire

scenario to eliminate a close rival from the
market. CZ also attempted to come forward
as a helping hand by offering a bailout of FTX,
but later retracted the offer after gaining a
closer look into its books in the name of due
diligence.
The demise of FTX at an unprecedented rate
also hurt badly to Binance as the fire of FUD
reached its shore very soon. Binance
witnessed billions of dollars of withdrawals
within the few hours of FTX's fall. Despite a
few minor halts, Binance could handle the
situation and liquidate the assets of its users
without much trouble. However, the entire
incident left many loopholes exposed in
Binance operations and valid questions were
raised on the claims of its cent percent
liquidity.
With trillions of dollars of trade volume and a
market valuation of over $60 billion, Binance
is the largest player in the market. Even imag-
ining the fall out of the biggest whale in the
sea is a trauma for many investors and could
potentially send the entire crypto market into
a tailspin. However, it is also true that a central
entity gaining this much muscle in the block-
chain industry goes against the very values of
the technology. The last market fall triggered
a minor test of Binance’s actual liquidating
capacity and it possibly could go worse.
But is Binance too big to fail? Well, the answer
lies in understanding the fact that no matter
how strong a centrally controlled organiza-
tion is, there is no point in fueling more to its
strength. Binance is a great example that how
strong the crypto industry could become, but
the ultimate goal of decentralizing the financ-
es does not entertain monopolies in the space.

15. Bringing Blockchain to the
Decision Makers
www.coingabbar.com
The world is well-acquainted with India
through the eyes of its diaspora. Not only do
they represent the nation, but they are also
the driving force behind its flourishing econo-
my. Indians are present in large numbers
across the globe, contributing to the nation's
soft power.
As the global economy continues to embrace
technology to improve its operational models,
India's FinTech sector is leading the charge in
innovation. Leveraging the power of block-
chain technology, India is now in the final
stages of testing its Central Bank Digital Cur-
rency.
It is now more important than ever to educate
not only Indians but the world, about block-
chain technology. This is why CoinGabbar has
stepped forward to become part of the largest
celebration of the Indian diaspora, the Pravasi
Bhartiya Sammelan-2023.
The Ministry of External Affairs proudly hosts
the Pravasi Bhartiya Sammelan to celebrate
the invaluable contributions of Non-Resident
Indians to the development of India. Pravasi
Bhartiya Diwas is commemorated on the 9th
of January each year to mark Mahatma Gand-
hi’s return to India from South Africa in 1915.
This year, the cleanest city in India, Indore,
hosted the Pravasi Bharatiya Sammelan with
the theme ‘Diaspora: Reliable Partners for
India’s Progress in Amrit Kaal’. This gathering
of innovators, thinkers, and entrepreneurs
provided Non-Resident Indians with a unique
opportunity to explore new ventures and
contribute to the nation's growth.
This event will work towards strengthening
the ties between India and its citizens living
overseas, reconnecting them to their roots
and honoring exemplary contributors of the
Indian diaspora with the Pravasi Bhartiya
Samman, the highest honor conferred on a
Non-Resident Indian.
On 9th January 2023, Prime Minister Naren-
dra Modi and the President of Guyana,
Mohmed Irfaan Ali, inaugurated the event.
The award ceremony was presided over by
the Honorable President of India, Smt.
Draupadi Murmu, the following day, 10th
January.

Changes in Policy
As the crypto market continues to grow and evolve, governments and regulators further imple-
ment new policies to address the risks and opportunities presented by cryptocurrencies.
In January 2023, several countries like India, the United States, the European Union, El Salvador,
Israel, and Japan amended or issued official insights regarding crypto regulations. So, let's take a
deep dive into each country's policy changes and examine their official remarks regarding upcom-
ing crypto regulations.
On January 19, an Indian government official,
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, spoke about crypto
assets at an event in Bengaluru. Rajeev stated
that "cryptocurrencies are not illegal in India if
legal procedures are followed."
This statement created a buzz in the Indian
crypto community regarding the upcoming
legal framework for cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that the government will defi-
nitely take benefit from its G20 presidency.
To that end, India's federal economic affairs
secretary, Ajay Seth stated in December 2022
that the G20 countries will soon evaluate the
significance of cryptocurrencies in India. This
indicates that the Indian crypto community
might witness a legal regulatory framework
for crypto assets soon.

On January 24, New York's financial regulator
announced the implementation of strict mea-
sures to ensure investor safety in the after-
math of the FTX collapse. New York's senior
financial regulator stated that the state
government will soon issue new guidelines
requiring businesses to separate their
customers' crypto assets from their own.
Furthermore, lawmakers in two US states,
Mississippi and Missouri, have announced the
establishment of bills to safeguard and assist
bitcoin mining operations and node operators
in the respective states.
The proposed measures from the three US
states mentioned above indicate that the US
will soon become a global hub for crypto
adoption. Experts believe that the country's
stance towards cryptocurrency is favourable,
which may help native citizens in the near
future.
The United States Announces
Insights On Cryptocurrency
On January 23, the European Parliament's
economic affairs committee voted on a
proposal to bring clarity to the cryptocurren-
cy market. As per reports, the EU voted on
concessions reached by all parties. It was a
draft law that enabled authorities in adopting
Basel III's final components.
Basel III is a set of policies that world leaders
have agreed to. It implies that banks would be
required to set aside punitive capital amounts
used to pay for their digital asset holdings. In
one of the law's amendments, financial institu-
tions would have to give crypto exposures a
risk weighting of 1.250% of capital. By doing
so, they will be able to cover a loss.
In addition, recent reports reveal that the
Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA),
a vital element of new European Union legis-
lation, has been delayed due to technical
issues. However, the final vote will now have
to be delayed until April 2023.

On January 11, El Salvador's legislative
assembly approved a digital securities bill.
The bill authorizes the country to issue
Bitcoin-based bonds. The bill was initially
introduced in parliament in November
2022.
The bill is expected to establish a foundation
for a legal framework of digital assets. This
will give legal clarity for any transfer opera-
tions involving digital assets used in El Salva-
dor. Meanwhile, the bill's main purpose is to
make the issuance of volcanic bonds more
feasible.
El Salvador has received a lot of attention in

BTC every day, despite media criticism.

On January 03, the Israel Securities Authori-

new regulatory framework for digital assets.
The ISA noted that the government intends
to amend the country's existing securities
regulations.
As per the proposal, the country's regulations
would be amended to incorporate digital
assets into existing securities regulations,
potentially classifying most crypto assets as
financial investments regulated by the ISA.
ISA noted that the goal of this proposal is to
protect investors while also allowing for the
distinctive features of cryptocurrencies.
Experts believe that the upcoming amended
crypto regulation would undoubtedly assist
the Israeli crypto market to expand even more.

On January 16, the National Tax Agency of
Japan issued guidelines for taxing NFT
transactions, including those involving
blockchain gaming. The guidelines were
issued by the authorities, and they offer a
simplified approach to taxing these large and
frequent transactions.
While Japan is taxing digital collectables, the
country is also interested in the web3 indus-
try. In recent months, several events have
transpired, including a proposed tax cut by
crypto enthusiasts in order to keep compe-
tence in the country. In addition, the country
is also attempting to revive its economy by
prioritizing the metaverse.
To sum up, the month of January witnessed
the continuation of policy reforms pertain-
ing to digital assets. The crypto community
believes that the increased regulation and
control have helped to reduce unlawful
activities like money laundering and fraud in
the near future. However, the reforms have
also made it more difficult for legitimate
businesses to operate in the sector.
Despite these challenges, the overall senti-
ment in the industry remains positive, as
many believe that these changes will
ultimately lead to greater mainstream
acceptance and adoption of cryptocurren-
cies. Overall, the crypto policy changes in
January 2023 have been a step in the right
direction toward building a more secure and
trustworthy cryptocurrency ecosystem.

hacker. Those were the days of Solaris,
FreeBSD, Windows NT & Novell NetWare.
My lifelong love affair with Cryptography
started when I chanced upon David Chaum's
work on blind digital signatures and the
"Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by
Menezes, Oorschot & Vanstonemy.
In 1999, I co-founded the Asian School of
Cyber Laws. Over the next 16 years, I
worked in cyber investigation & cyber law. I
proudly count some of the best investigators
& lawyers among my students. I have also
had the privilege of assisting the Govt. of
India in framing draft rules under the Infor-
mation Technology Act.
My work spanned 18 countries and I have
investigated cyber crimes & data breaches
for hundreds of organizations across many
sectors - from aerospace & banking to law
enforcement, pharma & shipping. I also had
the privilege of leading the teams that devel-
oped "The Collaborative Online Investiga-
tion Network" & the "ASCL Volatile
Evidence Retrieval Tool".
I authored the Cyber Crime Investigation
Manual, which has been referred to as a
"bible for cybercrime investigators" by the
Times of India.

24. HYFI Blockchain is a permissioned Layer-1 Blockchain with distributed consensus between
identified block validators. It has full support for data privacy, KYC, AML, CFT & other regulatory
compliances.
HYFI's core product is FLIPs. A fractional License of Intellectual Property (FLIP), is a type of
digital asset that represents fractional ownership of a specific intellectual property, such as art,
books, movies, music, software & video games.
FLIPs are a new asset class that allows for the fractionalization & tokenization of intellectual
property rights on the HYFI Blockchain. This means that creators can now monetize their intel-
lectual property rights in a more efficient, cost-effective, and transparent way.
With the use of FLIPs, creators can now sell a small percentage of their intellectual property
rights to multiple investors, allowing them to raise capital while still retaining ownership of their
work. This also enables investors to purchase a small stake in a piece of intellectual property,
making it accessible to a wider range of people. Additionally, FLIPs can be traded on the HYFI
Marketplace, allowing for a secondary market for these assets to exist. FLIPs can also be securely
stored in the HYFI Wallet.

Yes, it's true! But I don't want to think about it anymore :-)
Is it true that you deleted your Bitcoins? How many did
you delete and do you regret doing that?
Q.
Anything can be hacked!
You can have the best security systems in the world and you still can get hacked! That
does not mean we give up on security. It means that we have to plan for the inevitable!
Would you like to share the wisdom you gained while
working as a cybercrime investigator & forensic expert?
Q.
All the projects I have worked on are awesome. But what I really like about HYFI is that
we are using blockchain to the maximum for solving 3 massive global problems:
- Traditional methods for managing & monetizing intellectual property rights in the art,
books, movies, music, software & video games industry are inefficient, costly, and lack
transparency.
- Creators are not connected to the end-consumers. This results in limited engagement
& monetization.
-Investors do not have access to high-growth Intellectual Property assets.
You’ve worked with multiple blockchain projects
in the past, how HyFi is different and better than
the rest of them?
Q.
I believe that there is only one blockchain
use case - Smart Asset Lifecycle Manage-
ment. This includes issuance, transfer,
exchange, escrow, reissuance, redemption,
one-way payments, atomic transfers,
multi-sig transactions, retirement, and
destruction. A blockchain smart asset is the
digital representation of a real-world asset
(e.g. gold, equity shares, fiat currency, copy-
right license, etc.).
The blockchain removes the characteristic
of infinite reproducibility from a digital
asset. It confirms that each unit of value
was transferred only once, solving the
long-standing problem of double spend-
ing. A blockchain can assign title rights
because it provides a record that compels
offer and acceptance. So any project which
relies on the Smart Asset Lifecycle Man-
agement capability of blockchains will do
well. Other projects will fail.
What do you think about the future of blockchains?

Misconception 1
Many people think that blockchain and cryptocurrencies are the same things. They do not
know that blockchain is a technology and cryptocurrency is a use case.
Misconception 2
Many people think that all blockchain tokens are the same and have no real-world value.
They do not know that there are many types of tokens - currencies, utility coins, gover-
nance tokens, subscription tokens, etc.
You have a long list of publications; what, according to
you, are the most common misconceptions people have
about blockchain and crypto?
Q.
I think India has taken a very good approach to blockchain and crypto regulation. Specula-
tive cryptocurrencies have been defined as Virtual Digital Assets (VDA) and taxed at 30%
with no offsets except the cost of acquisition.
But several solid tokens are not considered VDAs - gift cards & vouchers, mileage points,
reward points, loyalty cards, and subscriptions to websites, platforms, and applications
Where, according to you, does India stand when it
comes to blockchain and crypto regulation in
the country?
Q.
Think beyond crypto!
Blockchain is so much more than crypto. It's an awesome industry to work in and there
are phenomenal opportunities in WEB3 development, token economics, crypto crime
investigation, blockchain law, and community management.

Blockchain technology is no longer just a
buzzword associated with cryptocurrencies;
it is revolutionizing several industries world-
wide. It has a wide range of use cases, from
finance to supply chain management. Busi-
nesses are using blockchain to create new
revenue streams and secure their data. But
what makes this technology practical is the
consensus mechanism that lies at its core.
The consensus mechanism ensures smooth
functioning among participants in a block-
chain network.
Imagine a distributed network where every
vote is counted, with each participant having
the same rights. Also, every transaction is
verified by the decision made with a majority
of votes, and that too without any need for a
central authority. It's exactly what consen-
sus mechanisms enable in the world of
blockchain technology. Let’s explore consen-
sus mechanisms and some of the most com-
monly used options available.
What is Consensus Mechanism?
Consensus Mechanisms in
Blockchain
Here, "consensus” refers to a general agree-
ment or understanding among a group of
people or entities. For example, a group of
friends decides on a restaurant to eat at.
They each suggest different options, but
through discussion and negotiation, they
reach an agreement on one restaurant to go
to. Everyone agrees on the decision, and
that's their consensus.
n the context of distributed systems and
blockchain, "consensus" is the process of
reaching an agreement on the state of the
system among all the participating nodes.
For example, while verifying a transaction in
the blockchain, validators can reach a
consensus on the state that whether the
transaction is legitimate or not. Consensus
in a blockchain network is achieved through
the use of a consensus mechanism.
Consensus Mechanisms are algorithms or
protocols that are designed to ensure that
all nodes in the system agree on the same
state. These are simply the algorithms used
to reach consensus on a Blockchain. Differ-
ent nodes may have different views of the
system's state due to network delays,
failures, or malicious actors. A consensus
mechanism ensures that all nodes in the
system agree on the same state.

How does a Consensus Mechanism Work?
The consensus mechanism includes several steps to get a response from the access nodes.
Nodes need to validate transactions to ensure that they are legitimate. Transactions are
grouped into blocks and added to the blockchain. The consensus mechanism is used to reach an
agreement among the nodes on which block should be added next. An algorithm may require at
least 51% of nodes to reply to reach a consensus or agreement on a data value or transaction.
The purpose of the blockchain is defined by the consensus algorithm employed by it. Each
consensus mechanism has its own way to reach an agreement.
Commonly used Consensus Mechanisms
Consensus
Mechanism
Feature Pros Cons Use cases
A consensus mechanism is a choice that organizations and blockchain developers make with
an understanding of the desired outcome. There are several different types of consensus
mechanisms, each having its own strengths and weaknesses
Proof of Work
(PoW)
Miners (nodes)
compete to solve a
difficult
mathematical
puzzle. The first
miner to solve a
puzzle using
computational
power adds a block
to the blockchain
and gets rewards.
More secure, as
it requires a
significant
amount of
computational
power to carry
out an attack.
Slow
transaction
processing.
Bitcoin,
Litecoin, and
Dogecoin.
High energy
consumption.
Centralization
of mining power.
Mining requires
expensive
computational
equipment.
Widely estab-
lished and
proven effec-
tive.
First, the validators are selected based on certain criteria, the block is added to the chain, and
then rewards are distributed to the validators in the form of native cryptocurrency. For exam-
ple, in Proof-of-Work (PoW), the node that solves a complex mathematical puzzle first (using
computational power) gets the right to add the following block and take rewards. While in
Proof-of-Stake (PoS), the node that holds the most coins gets the right to add the next block.
Whenever the next block is added to the blockchain, all nodes in the network update their
copies of the blockchain to ensure that they are all in the same state.

Proof of Stake
(PoS)
Nodes use their
own cryptocurrency
to participate in
block validation.
Then Validators are
selected randomly
based on the size of
the cryptocurrency
they stake in to
participate. A higher
stake means a
higher chance of
selection in the
validating process.
Highly scalable
and enable
faster transac-
tion processing.
Low energy
consumption.
Reduced risk of
centralization.
Cost-effective
as there is no
need for expen-
sive hardware.
Highly depen-
dent on valida-
tors to be
honest.
Vulnerability to
reorganization
attack.
Inadequate
security as an
attacker can
easily obtain a
large number of
coins and can
control the
network.
Bitcoin,
LitecEthere-
um 2.0,
Cardano, &
Polkadotoin,
and Doge-

Delegated
Proof of Stake
(DPoS)
Users in the network
use their stake or
coins to vote for
candidates or dele-
gates. The top
delegates are elect-
ed to validate trans-
actions and add new
blocks.
Increased speed
and scalability.
Low energy
consumption.
Less Hardware
is required
Less secure, and
a 51 percent
attack is easier
to carry out.
Possibility of
vote buying.
Trust issues
related to
Candidates
Bitshares,
Steem, Lisk,
and Ark
Proof of Burn
(PoB)
Nodes burn coins by
sending them to an
address from which
they cannot be
recovered. The
validators are then
selected at random,
with the probability
of selection propor-
tional to the number
of coins burned
Secure and
resistant to
Sybil attacks.
Energy efficient.
Cost-effective
and less hard-
ware required a
compared to
PoW.
Wastage of
resources in
terms of burned
coins.
Lack of incen-
tives for burn-
ing.
More complex
to implement.

Proof of
Activity (PoA)
Uses a hybrid
approach of PoW
and PoS. First, block
is mined using the
PoW approach.
Then block is sent to
a group of valida-
tors, who use PoS to
validate it and
ensure that it is
legitimate. If the
block is valid, the
miner is rewarded.
A more scalable
approach than
PoW.
Increased
security and
fault tolerance
due to the
combined
approach.
Less computa-
tionally inten-
sive than PoW.
Complex to
implement than
other consensus
mechanisms.
Still requires
computational
power to mine
blocks.
Reliant on
Validators
Decred
Proof of
Capacity
(PoC)
Nodes contribute
disk space to the
network, which is
then used for gener-
ating a large number
of hashes. The node
with the most
hashes will validate
the block and get
incentivized.
A low-cost
investment in
terms of hard-
ware, as it only
needs a hard
drive to store
the hashes.
More energy
efficient.
Mining data can
be easily erased,
and the drive
can be reused
for other
purposes.
Vulnerability to
disk failure can
affect mining
activities.
Risk of data
breaches and
manipulation.
Burstcoin
Proof of
Authority
(PoA)
is Used in private
blockchains where
the organization
controls and selects
validators based on
their identities.
No possibility of
malicious nodes
or bad actors
because partici-
pation is only
permitted after
identity authenti-
cation.
Centralized
validators are
pre-approved.

Validators have the
right to add the
transaction to the
next block and
broadcast it to the
rest of the network.
Very high
throughput.
Fewer computa-
tional resources
are required.
Not suitable for
public networks
as the identity
of validators are
accessible to
anyone.
Heavily reliant
on validators
Proof of
History
(PoH)
Uses timestamps to
validate
transactions. Nodes
generate a hash of
the network's
current state. These
hashes are then
arranged into a
Merkle tree, with
the root of the tree
representing the
network's entire
state. This root hash
is then used as the
timestamp for the
next block and is
used by other nodes
to validate
transactions
High through-
put and the
ability to handle
a large number
of transactions.
More secure
due to the
timestamping
used for valida-
tion.
Lower transac-
tion fees.
Limited use
cases and
adaptability.
Less decentral-
ized as the
timestamping
node may have
more power and
influence than
other nodes
Solana
Proof of
Elapsed
Time
(PoET)
Network assigns a
random wait time to
each node. The node
with the shortest
wait time is selected
to create the next
block.
Energy efficient,
as it uses a
random wait time
algorithm instead
of any computing
power.
Cost-effective
for businesses.
Only compatible
with closed or
permissioned
networks.
Less decentral-
ized and can be
manipulated.

Proof of
Importance
(PoI
Nodes on the
network are given an
importance score
based on several
factors, including
transaction history,
network reputation,
and other metrics.
The node with the
highest importance
score creates the
next block. This
block is then broad-
cast to the network,
where it is validated
by the other nodes
Fairness due to
the influence of
several factors.

Blockchains are able to maintain a level of decentralization and scalability due to their
consensus mechanism. The consensus mechanism defines the fundamentals and proper-
ties of blockchain as well as its domain of application. It is like the heart of a blockchain; it
decides how the network operates, who has the power to validate transactions, and how
new blocks are added to the chain.
There are several consensus algorithms, each with its own set of pros and cons. But there
is no one-size-fits-all solution for all blockchains. Different types of blockchains will use
different consensus algorithms. Businesses and organizations should select a consensus
mechanism that fulfils their specific needs and objectives.
