UN calls for comprehensive crypto regulation in developing countries

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) has outlined the “risks and costs” of cryptocurrencies to developing nations in three policy briefs, suggesting ways to limit their expansion.

The UNCTAD, which promotes the interests of developing states in world trade, details how crypto is a potential threat to financial stability, the allocation of capital and resources and the security of monetary systems within developing countries.

Citizens of emerging nations, such as Kenya, Venezuela and India, are disproportionately more likely to own digital currency, the UNCTAD says, with 15 of the top 20 countries with the highest share of digital asset ownership being emerging countries.

It calls on developing nations to curb crypto advertising and introduce robust regulation of crypto exchanges, digital wallets and other aspects of decentralised finance. It also suggests banning financial institutions from holding crypto.

Swyftx

Swyftx sheds a fifth of its workforce

Aussie crypto exchange Swyftx is set to lay off 74 employees – 21% of its workforce – as the firm looks to reduce the size of its business as it grapples with increasingly tough global economic conditions.

In a company-wide memo, co-CEOs Alex Harper and Ryan Parson cite an “uncertain business environment” of high inflation, rising interest rates, “highly volatile markets across all asset classes” and a looming global recession as reasons behind the decision.

“We started growing our team in a very different world and it’s now prudent to make sure our cost base is compatible with this extended period of economic uncertainty,” Harper and Ryan say.
