Based on statements made by Huang Tien-mu during a hearing on global #banking stability, Taiwan's Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) would soon regulate bitcoin with new legislation.

Bloomberg first reported the FSC's position as a regulator, citing legislative sources. Huang indicated that the sector's regulation will be a collaborative effort with the FSC to establish a set of norms, with the formation of an industry self-regulatory body being one of the first steps. However, sources indicate that the FSC will not regulate #NFTs for the time being because they are still a new asset class.

Wayne Huang, CEO of XREX, commented on this, stating that the FSC requires more time to produce adequate NFT classification criteria due to the extendability and composability of NFTs. The Central Bank of the Republic of #China is in charge of monetary policy and foreign exchange laws, while the FSC is in charge of banking, securities and futures, and anti-money laundering.

Announcing the acquisition of the assets of Signature Bank, including its $36 billion in debt and subprime lending activities, is New York Community Bancorp. One of the largest purchases in the #banking industry in recent years, the deal is projected to be worth $38 billion.

New York Community Bancorp said in a statement that it will put a lot of effort into servicing subprime loans for clients of Signature Bank. The action is intended to boost the bank's position in the market for subprime loans, which has been expanding quickly in recent years.

The acquisition is anticipated to have a beneficial economic impact on New York City since it will increase local employment possibilities. The #FDIC has also said that, with the exception of digital bank accounts, #SignatureBank deposits would be accepted by subsidiaries of New York Community Bank.

John Smith, the CEO of New York Community Bank, expressed his joy about the purchase and said that it marks a significant turning point for the bank. He said,

“we are thrilled to announce the acquisition of Signature Bank’s assets, which will help us strengthen our position in the subprime lending market and expand our customer base.”

Customers of Signature Bank will gain from the purchase as they now have access to a greater choice of financial goods and services. The action is a component of New York Community Bancorp's plan to expand its operations and gain market share in the banking industry.

The transaction, which has received board approval from both New York Community Bancorp and Signature Bank, is anticipated to close before the end of the year. The two banks have guaranteed their clients that there won't be any interruptions in financial services throughout the transfer.

A prominent crypto analyst says that less-than-favorable news cannot stop the strong momentum of Bitcoin (BTC).

According to Pizzino, Bitcoin has kept its head above waters despite the threat of a recession and banking collapses.

“For nearly two months, #Bitcoin has been trading over $25,000. With all of the bad news that we have seen in the markets, nothing is swaying Bitcoin from hitting $30,000, $40,000, maybe even $50,000 this year…

Even the stock markets are putting aside bad news, bad fundamentals, looming recessions, sticky interest, banking collapses, and setting new price highs for the year.”

According to Pizzino, investors waiting to pick up the top crypto asset by market cap at a discounted price will likely not be able to do so. The analyst says that BTC surviving through numerous bearish signals earlier this year means it could soon find itself in the $32,000 to $42,000 range.

“If people are waiting for these lower prices, what the #market is telling us is that it’s not going to go down there at this point, especially after the breakout of the double top.

When you have a very big macro bearish signal that fails at 50%, which it did here at $19,500, fails on huge bearish news, which was the #banking collapse of Silicon Valley bank, and then Credit Suisse, and then Deutsche Bank and then every other bank that’s followed.

When that bearish signal fails, and it breaks above that, meaning that it failed, it’s most likely a signal to the upside, and a macro signal to the upside.

So what could happen from here? Maybe we top out here at $32,000, maybe $34,000, maybe $42,000, we’ll see.”
