The report also suggests that the US Federal Reserve's upcoming faster payments network could eliminate much of the argument for digital assets. | Proof-of-work mining, DeFi applications and stablecoins were also criticized in the report. | | Russian cryptocurrency exchange Bitzlato has allowed users to withdraw up to 50% of their assets stuck on the platform following seizure by the US and Europol. | Bitzlato had to convert all user balances to Bitcoin due to technical difficulties associated with servicing multiple other cryptocurrencies after it was seized. The platform plans to provide a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency trading service by early April 2023. | A Bitzlato representative says users should not expect to recover the remaining 50% of their assets once the peer-to-peer exchange is launched. | | The European Banking Authority is hiring staff with crypto expertise as it prepares to regulate issuers of large stablecoins under the forthcoming Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. | The EBA is looking for someone with "sound knowledge of crypto-asset products and services" and experience supervising financial institutions to prepare for the establishment of a supervision function under MiCA. | The move is part of wider efforts to enhance crypto-focused staff and may have up to 22 full-time staff working on MiCA.
