More UK Citizens Confident Investing in Crypto: FCA Survey
According to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), UK citizens are becoming more confident in crypto as alternative investments as cryptocurrency users grow in number.
The survey was conducted in January 2021 and summarizes the opinions from 2,568 respondents nationwide. Despite the typical British crypto holder profile remaining relatively the same (mostly male and aged over 35), results show the biggest change in behavior. More than a third of respondents still see cryptocurrencies “as a gamble to make or lose money,” but the number is down 9% compared to 2020.
Respondents now view that digital assets are part of a wider investment portfolio, and agree that cryptocurrencies and other alternative investments are better than traditional investments in mainstream finance.

Mining Council: We Must Counter ‘Misinformation’ About Bitcoin’s Environmental Damage
“MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor said the problem isn’t bitcoiners but those negative headlines about mining.
“We really sounded the alarm towards the end of 2020 when we saw a huge outtake in negative reporting of bitcoin mining. A lot of it is not intellectually honest. When you have a number of stories and headlines, misinformation, false narratives, we will see reactions to that from a policy perspective.”
He said not having that ‘informative space’ — or reading the headlines — has prompted politicians to move against the cryptocurrency.”

Thailand Bans NFTs, Meme Tokens from Regulated Exchanges
“The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) said that regulated exchanges in Thailand will need to cease listing meme tokens, fan tokens, NFTs and exchange utility tokens that cut transaction fees for those that hold it like Binance’s BNB or FTX’s FTT.
The country’s market regulator defines meme tokens as ones having ‘no clear objectives or substance, and whose prices are dictated by social media trends.’
Thailand is home to 13 licensed digital asset exchanges. The largest of which is Bitkub, which has around $90 million a day in trading volume according to CoinGecko.”
