GURA: Their market cap worldwide is now close to $2.5 trillion, which is almost as large as the GDP of France. Even the big Wall Street banks now trade bitcoin. And Gary Gensler, the head of the Securities and Exchange Commission, shares Warren's concerns. Here's what he said in a recent speech.
Wallets used by cryptocurrency exchanges are somewhat vulnerable to hacking. For instance, Japan-based Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox shut down and declared bankruptcy a few years back after hackers systematically relieved it of more than $450 million in Bitcoin exchanged over its servers.
Headed by Canadian Changpeng Zhao, Binance offers a wide range of services globally, from crypto spot and derivatives trading to tokenised versions of stocks, as well as its own cryptocurrency, Binance Coin.

Long term relationships also strengthen, to some extent, around areas indicated as bubbles. The previously observed long term relationship between Google Trends and Bitcoin price [8] can also be seen here, between late 2012 and 2014 (period band 64–256). With the benefit of extra data it can be observed that the relationship disappears around 2014 (for lower period bands) and 2015 (for higher period bands), before the relationships start occurring more consistently in 2016 and 2017 (a region with a number of bubbles identified). The previously observed relationship between Wikipedia views and Bitcoin observed in 2013 (64–128 band), disappears before again returning in mid-2016 and 2017.

Now, to be fair to the bitcoin bros (not great) and XRP army (worse), even the World Health Organisation had around that time started pushing the idea that Covid could be being spread by banknotes (while simultaneously recommending that people should not wear masks), now thought to be “very unlikely”. Even if banknotes were a key transmission vector, however, we are not sure that “dirty fiat” itself could be held responsible, given that the vast majority of it only exists in digital form. Why would you use bitcoin, or XRP, or any other crypto token when you can transact digitally using fiat currencies?
