Why Russia’s Potential Ban on Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Trading Has Had No Impact on Bitcoin Price
The Chinese government’s artifice of a civic ban on cryptocurrency exchanges and Bitcoin trading belvedere had an axiomatic appulse on the amount of Bitcoin. Although the Bitcoin amount has recovered from the Chinese government’s ban on cryptocurrency exchanges, the Bitcoin bazaar had adjourned for over a month, as the all-around cryptocurrency barter bazaar underwent restructuring.
But, the Russian government’s declared plan to bind Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading activities aural the country had had around no aftereffect on the concise Bitcoin amount trend because according to trusted Bitcoin bazaar abstracts providers including CryptoCompare, the Russian Bitcoin barter bazaar alone accounts for 0.12 percent of all-around Bitcoin trades. That is, beneath than the circadian trading aggregate of Bitcoin Suisse, a Bitcoin asset administrator based in the burghal of Zug in Switzerland.
To put into perspective, the circadian trading aggregate of the Russian Bitcoin barter bazaar is thirty times abate than the circadian trading aggregate of a above South Korean Bitcoin barter in Bithumb, which had candy added than $1 billion at its aiguille in September.
Previously, the official advertisement from the Chinese government to abutting bottomward bounded cryptocurrency exchanges including OKCoin, Huobi, and BTCC led the Bitcoin amount to chargeless fall, from $4,300 to $3,100 aural weeks. The Bitcoin amount did balance from the fall, above the aiguille it had accomplished above-mentioned to the ban on bounded cryptocurrency exchanges by the Chinese government. Still, it is assertive that the ban on Bitcoin exchanges by China had a ample appulse on the concise amount trend of Bitcoin.
Regardless of its almost baby trading volume–as the Chinese Bitcoin barter bazaar alone accounted for 10 to 13 percent of all-around Bitcoin trades–China has consistently been advised as a awful almighty bazaar for Bitcoin due to its rapidly growing abridgement and the assimilation amount of its bounded fintech market.
According to a abstraction by EY, China has approved an aberrant amount of advance in the Internet, cyberbanking technology, and cyberbanking industries.
“While there are acquaint to be abstruse from the acceleration of FinTech in China – including from the acknowledgment of regulators and incumbents – it is bright that not all articles and casework can artlessly be replicated in the West. China’s exciting mix of accelerated urbanisation, authoritative acquiescence, a massive and underserved SME market, ascent e-commerce growth, and access in online and adaptable penetration, accept created a abundant arena for addition in commerce, cyberbanking and banking casework added broadly,” read the abstraction of EY.
In the mid and long-term, the ban on cryptocurrency exchanges by the Chinese government and abeyant brake on Bitcoin trading by the Russian government will be of beneath importance. The US, Japan, and South Korea, three of the better Bitcoin barter markets, accept led the Bitcoin amount to balance and will booty it to new highs in the accessible months.
