Bitcoin hits all-time high as talk of U.S. ETF approval intensifies

By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss

"There's one catalyst at the moment and that is the expectation that the Winklevoss Trust will be approved on the 11th of March.

On Friday, bitcoin climbed to a record $1,298 on the BitStamp platform. Bitcoin last traded at $1,263.01, up nearly 5 percent on the day. So far this year, bitcoin has surged more than 30 percent.

Bitcoin

As you know, the Winklevoss twins proposed the first-ever bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF), pending approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a proposed bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) proposed by the Winklevoss twins.

Leading up to their decision, bitcoin not only traded at all-time highs - it became more valuable than one ounce of gold.

But shortly after 5pm EST on Friday, March 10th, the SEC announced their denial of this ETF, citing it'd be too susceptible to fraud since Bitcoin is already unregulated. Unsurprisingly, bitcoin fell as much as 18% to $978 almost immediately following the decision.

Now you'd think this meant that the record highs we saw bitcoin trading at were over. But as of my time writing this, bitcoin is not only trading higher, it's back to around $1300 - and I expect it to continue climbing.

What this tells us is that the drop in price was more of a knee-jerk reaction - and that it's going to take something else to send bitcoin tumbling. So while there aren't any trading opportunities right now, per se, the future of bitcoin is far from over.

China's new bitcoin rules call for identity check

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/chinas ... 2017-03-17

BEIJING--China's central bank is moving to regulate its domestic bitcoin industry, circulating new guidelines that, if enacted, would require exchanges to identify clients and adhere to banking regulations.

Recent scrutiny by the central bank has already led exchanges to impose trading fees and suspend withdrawals of bitcoin from their platforms. Chinese investors have fled the market.

A draft of the guidelines says Chinese bitcoin exchanges would be subject to current banking and anti-money-laundering laws, and required to collect information to identify their clients, according to people familiar with the matter. They say the rules, if implemented, would require exchanges to install systems for collecting and reporting suspicious trading activity to authorities. The People's Bank of China would be in charge of handling violations by the exchanges.

The people said officials could still revise the guidelines, which were given to exchanges in recent days.
