Israel has been moving to introduce new crypto regulations. This comes as the market rebounds after a poor year in 2022. As governments seek to regulate the crypto space, there are different opinions on regulation’s impact. No matter the outcome, projects like Filecoin (FIL), Decentraland (MANA), and TMS Network (TMSN) continue to build. After a strong first presale phase, TMS Network (TMSN) is an interesting newcomer to the market.
Israeli Regulations
There are two camps in the crypto world when it comes to regulation. Some believe that regulation means adoption – positive for crypto. And some think that regulation is an attack on the decentralized ideals of crypto. At the end of February, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) announced a proposal to regulate Israeli crypto investors.
The proposal outlines methods that Israelis can use to deposit/withdraw fiat to interact with digital assets. The goal is to protect consumers and create a robust framework for regulatory oversight of digital assets. However, the proposal also looks to classify all crypto assets as securities. This echoes statements made by the SEC chair, Gary Gensler.
Whether or not it’s appropriate to label all cryptocurrencies as securities is an ongoing debate. Yet, there appears to be a trend of regulators supporting that idea.
Filecoin (FIL)
Filecoin (FIL) has been moving to clean up its storage capacity. To recap, Filecoin (FIL) is a decentralized storage protocol. Providers offer up free storage capacity on their computers. Users of Filecoin (FIL) can rent this storage for a fee. Filecoin (FIL) has a storage problem – junk files. To mitigate this, the Filecoin (FIL) community launched an initiative called Filecoin Plus (FIL+).
This community-led program makes Filecoin (FIL) more efficient as only “useful” files are accepted for storage. By whitelisting clients, Filecoin (FIL) reduces the wasted space on the network, freeing up storage for those who actually need it.
However, this requires large subsidies from the protocol. Ultimately, these subsidies have negatively affected protocol revenue. It remains to be seen if Filecoin Plus (FIL+) is sustainable in the long term.
Decentraland (MANA)
The metaverse has been a hot topic for over a year. Built on Ethereum, Decentraland (MANA) is an expansive virtual world and an industry leader. Metaverse tokens have been top performers in 2023 – Decentraland (MANA) is up 83%.
Decentraland (MANA) runs a yearly virtual fashion week, the first of which took place in 2022. This year, the Decentraland (MANA) metaverse fashion week runs from the 28th-31st of March. Huge fashion brands, including Dolce & Gabbana and Adidas, will participate. Investors have been speculating on Decentraland (MANA) as the event grows closer.
The success of the last Decentraland (MANA) fashion week, combined with the publicity, is set to boost token performance further. Decentraland (MANA) holders are hopeful the event will bring in new participants and expand an already vibrant community.
TMS Network (TMSN)
Addressing the weak points in current decentralized exchanges (DEXs), TMS Network (TMSN) is a new DEX built on Ethereum. Where most DEXs only offer swaps between crypto assets, TMS Network (TMSN) offers a whole plethora of asset classes. From stocks to FOREX and CFDs, TMS Network (TMSN) has a product that covers traders from many backgrounds.
The TMS Network (TMSN) token offers holders exclusive access to key tools to maximize trader performance. Comprehensive in-house research, on-chain data, customizable trading bots, and social trading are just a few of the benefits of holding TMS Network (TMSN). Additionally, TMSN holders are entitled to a share in commissions generated by the platform.
Leveraging the security of Ethereum (ETH), traders using TMS Network (TMSN) remain in full custody of their assets at all times. With a focus on fairness, TMS Network (TMSN) monitors and removes bad actors involved in malicious activities such as wash trading.
