During an ongoing hearing, U.S. House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry posed a question to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler, asking, "Why is Bitcoin not a security?" Chairman Gensler initially attempted to avoid giving a direct response but eventually stated, "Bitcoin is not a security because it does not meet the subtest," implying that Bitcoin doesn't meet the criteria used to classify financial instruments as securities under existing regulations.
This distinction is significant because securities are subject to specific regulatory frameworks that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin typically do not fall under. Gensler's response aligns with the SEC's previous stance that Bitcoin and Ethereum are not considered securities due to their decentralized nature. 📜💼 #Bitcoin #SEC #CryptocurrencyRegulation

NiceHash, a cloud-based cryptocurrency mining platform, has informed its users via email that it will cease providing services in the United Kingdom (UK) starting from October 10th (local time). After this date, UK users will be unable to create new accounts, and certain functions like fund transactions, deposits, and withdrawals will be restricted.
NiceHash attributes the decision to discontinue UK services to changes in the regulatory environment within the country. The move comes in response to forthcoming regulations from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regarding the advertising and promotion of cryptocurrency services, set to go into effect in October.
NiceHash has expressed its intention to resume services in the UK as soon as possible, but this will likely depend on regulatory developments and compliance with the new rules established by the FCA.
