News Brief
PANews reported on January 30 that Christopher Hui, Hong Kong's Financial Services and Treasury Secretary, informed the Legislative Council about ongoing regulatory developments for virtual asset trading and custody providers. Following last December's public consultation with the Securities and Futures Commission, authorities are now finalizing implementation details. Additionally, they're seeking public feedback on oversight for virtual asset advisors and fund managers, with draft legislation for all four provider categories expected before lawmakers this year. The government also intends to introduce bills adopting the OECD's crypto asset reporting framework and common reporting standards. Consequently, starting in 2028, Hong Kong will automatically exchange tax-related information on crypto transactions with other jurisdictions to combat cross-border tax evasion.

PANews reported on January 30 that, according to a Hong Kong government press release, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui stated at a Legislative Council policy briefing on January 30 that the Financial Services and the Treasury and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) jointly published a consultation conclusion in December last year regarding legislative proposals to establish a regulatory regime for virtual asset trading and custody service providers, and are currently formulating details of the relevant regulatory regime. The Financial Services and the Treasury and the SFC are also further consulting the public on the establishment of a regulatory regime for service providers offering advice on virtual assets and virtual asset management service providers, with the goal of submitting a draft ordinance to the Legislative Council this year regarding the regulatory regime for the aforementioned four service providers.

The government will submit legislative proposals to the Legislative Council this year to implement the revisions to the OECD’s crypto asset reporting framework and common reporting standards, with the aim of automatically exchanging tax information related to crypto asset transactions with other tax jurisdictions from 2028 onwards, in line with international efforts to combat cross-border tax evasion.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
