In June, Facebook had announced its plan to unveil a new global cryptocurrency powered by the blockchain technology. The proposed currency, Libra, is set to build an ecosystem which is devoid of bank-interventions and naturally offers low-cost transfer fees anywhere in the world.

Libra has been designed to be truly borderless and is backed by less volatile assets. This will help the asset avoid constant fluctuations, which is the reason that has stopped Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies from achieving widespread adoption.

According to the latest Reuters-report, Facebook is now seeking a payment system license from Switzerland’s financial watchdog, Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) for its planned stablecoin project. In its official statement by Switzerland-based Libra Association, a non-profit organization established for governing the Libra network, the company explained the reason behind choosing the Swiss watchdog for coordinating its core regulatory framework. Switzerland seems to be perfect for executing Libra’s operations due to the country’s openness in innovative and responsible financial services coupled with global financial norms and strong oversight. This, consequently, would allow Libra’s open-source blockchain network to transform into a regulated, low-friction, and highly-secured payment system.

While cryptocurrencies and its underlying technologies have largely been associated with criminal activities (most commonly on the dark web marketplaces), a guidance released last month by FINMA elaborates how organizations offering blockchain payments, like exchanges, trading platforms, and wallet providers can secure their offerings by adhering to certain regulatory parameters. The aforesaid guidance strongly adheres to the digital asset regulation framework issued recently by the intergovernmental Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which holds provisions for Anti Money Laundering (AML) measures, Know Your Customer compliance, risk-monitoring systems and more. FINMA has also gone a step ahead of FATF’s provisions in refusing to exempt payments that involve unregulated wallet providers from its oversight.

Facebook will have to navigate its Libra cryptocurrency through a tricky regulatory landscape if it plans a successful launch. Libra Association has requested FINMA to assess their cryptocurrency under Swiss supervisory law, and also to confirm how the Swiss government body would classify the Libra project. FINMA, on the other hand, has reportedly confirmed that Libra will not only need a payment system licence to begin operation, but the currency also has to comply with additional requirements for services.

Experts believe that there lies a long way ahead of Libra before it makes it to the hands of the mass. On the contrary, they are also of the opinion that the task might be daunting, but not impossible for Facebook that necessarily has all the resources and lobbying power to launch its cryptocurrency in 2020.

Financial institutions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are fast upgrading themselves to become more technology-friendly. They are focusing on digitizing their services so that they can attract the tech-friendly young customer base towards their bank.

In the report, ‘Tech Disruption In Retail Banking: GCC Banks Are Catching Up As Clients Become More Demanding’ published by S&P Global Ratings firm, they have mentioned that “The conclusion we drew from our four-factor analysis of a banking system’s technology, regulation, industry, and preferences (TRIP), which we are incorporating in our ratings on banks in the region.” It clearly states the changing preferences of customers. In this report, the rating firm has also stated that “The adoption of big data, artificial intelligence analytics, as well as voice and facial recognition tools could enable a more effective and cost-efficient provision of customer (banking) services.”

According to the Statistical Centre for the Cooperation Council for the Arab Countries of the Gulf, about 40% of the GCC population is under 30 years of age, which shows the demand for digitization of the banking sector.

A decline in the number of bank branches is being seen; whereas, on the other hand, there has been a drastic increase in banking through mobile apps and online banking. The National Commercial Bank of Saudi Arabia saw 36.6% of financial transactions being performed through its mobile application or net banking service by the end of last year.

S&P also states in its report that the change in banking services can be brought about by customer preference rather than regulatory bodies. As customer’s demand for any time and anywhere banking is increasing, a surge in the collaboration of banks with FinTech firms is being seen. Authorities and regulatory bodies in the GCC are welcoming this move and also encouraging such firms by setting up ‘sandbox’ regimes, allowing FinTechs to try out technologies in a flexible environment.

Gulf Cooperation Council is a political and economic council of all the Arab states of the Persian Gulf except Iraq. The member countries of the council are as follows: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. The charter was signed on May 25, 1981.

Meta description

ADA is declining downwards with a negative indication that it will further lose its value to BTC in the upcoming days and will be in a high liquidity condition.

Main Article –

The volatility of the crypto market has been ravaging the price trends of the altcoin like Cardano. Holding the value upwards is a tough challenge for ADA coin, and this is the reason why a positive turnaround of the coin will not be easy in this intense unfavorable market conditions.

Cardano Price Analysis & Future Forecast

From the 5-day Cardano chart, it is cleared that the coin is hardly able to withstand the intense volatile condition of the market and this is the reason why its value is getting deterred miserably. Its momentum towards an upward trend is negligible. On 14^th July, ADA got traded at 0.062219 USD. From 16^th July till yesterday noon, it was under complete downtrend. Yesterday, its value fell to as low as 0.0534 USD. Within 5-days, Cardano price has been deterred by 6.91%. Based on the above conditions, we assume that in the upcoming days, ADA price may trade around its immediate support level of $0.055048, and if the coin trade higher than it may reach around its immediate resistance level of $0.061.

From the above analysis, we may conclude that at present, ADA is not at all suitable for investment as it is in a highly unstable condition. It is more prone to decline downwards than to rise above. Until the market condition is getting improved, Cardano should not be considered as a good option for investment.
