Meanwhile, Singapore has passed new legislation to tighten rules for crypto providers, showing the industry may be starting to appreciate it, Bloomberg reported.
The law stipulates that virtual asset service providers in the city-state must be licensed to operate abroad.
Companies are not currently regulated for anti-money laundering or anti-terrorist financing.
Bloomberg wrote that the tightening of rules also comes as the regulator barred companies in the crypto space from advertising, showing how cautious Singapore has been.
New crypto rules may be introduced in Georgia, according to an interview with National Bank of Georgia Governor Koba Gvenetadze on Finchannel.
The NBG is reportedly planning to regulate crypto and has developed a draft of the necessary legislative changes.
Gvenetadze said they would benefit from technical assistance from International Monetary Fund staff.
But he said some action is already being taken.
“Financial institutions in particular have been banned from offering virtual asset exchange and transfer services,” he said. “In addition, persons engaged in activities related to virtual assets should be classified by financial institutions as high-risk customers and subjected to appropriate enhanced preventive measures.”
Finally, Ethereum blockchain scaling platform Boba Network raised $45 million in its Series A round, according to a report. Investors included venture capital firms led by Will Smith and Paris Hilton, as well as exchange Crypto.com and former NFL quarterback Joe Montana.
The funding round gives Boba a $1.5 billion valuation.
