SEC: Biden will Gary Gensler
„Biden SEC pick is no stranger to crypto – Gary Gensler’s nomination to head the U.S. Securities and Exchange is welcome news for the cryptocurrency industry given his ongoing and deep interest in the technology. … Although the SEC has conveyed some of its views via enforcement actions and the like under Trump-era chair Jay Clayton, the industry has been yearning for even more regulatory clarity. … Gensler will be leading a commission that’s already not a stranger to crypto, even recently setting up its financial tech (and cryptocurrency) unit as a standalone office whose director will now report directly to the chairman. … Gensler may be in a good position to further bridge the gap between the crypto industry and securities laws, but as SEC chair he’ll also have to devote his time to other issues under the commission’s purview.“

„Trumps Verbannung von Social Media – Kritiker verkennen Gesetze – Die Sperrung von Donald Trump bei Twitter & Co. sorgt für Diskussionen. Dabei verstrickt sich vor allem die Bundeskanzlerin in Widersprüche, meint Julia Reda. … Denn es gibt sehr wohl einen rechtlichen Rahmen für die Moderation von Inhalten auf Social Media-Plattformen in den USA, an dem sich Twitter und Facebook orientiert haben. Außerdem wäre die Entscheidung in Deutschland, wo das Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz den rechtlichen Rahmen absteckt, vermutlich genauso ausgefallen.“

TikTok: Douyin startet eWallet
„TikTok’s Chinese version Douyin launches an e-wallet – Tencent’s WeChat Pay and Alibaba’s affiliate Alipay have long dominated digital payments in China, but they have always faced new challengers. The latest entrant in online payments is Douyin, TikTok’s Chinese version. … Payment is a natural step for Douyin, which has a growing e-commerce business. Users can be directed to a product link while watching a video of an influencer reviewing, say, a lipstick. Instead of the ubiquitous WeChat Pay and Alipay, they may opt for Douyin Pay one day, if the incentives are great enough.“
