Stablecoin conflicts: Cryptographic assets require tougher oversight
The Stablecoin market, a crucial link between cryptocurrencies and traditional currencies, requires stricter oversight, as regulations on both sides of the Atlantic lag behind the rapid growth of digital assets.
Stablecoins says the trading port is safe for traders to store funds, making it a major part of cryptocurrency trading as money used by typical investors in market funds.
Patches on disclosure standards, lack of consumer protection, and the role that money can play in a more traceable way have intensified the call for more rigorous surveillance as the market has expanded along with the broader digital asset industry.
Under plans announced May 11Â by Gov. Kate Brown,
counties where higher percentages of adults are willing to get their COVID-19 vaccines will get to
significantly relax on pandemic-era restrictions weeks before those where vaccination rates are lagging.Â
The entire state will see a rollback of certain restrictionsâincluding capacity limits on events, businesses and restaurantsâwhen we hit 70 percent of all Oregonians ages 16 and older getting vaccinated, but that mark isnât likely until mid-to-late June, officials from the Oregon Health Authority said on Tuesday.Â
But in vaccine-eager regions where 65 percent of adults are already vaccinatedâHood River and Benton Counties, thatâs you, with Multnomah, Washington, Deschutes and Lincoln Counties not too far behindârestrictions could be lowered as soon as next week. That means reduced-capacity graduations, among other ceremonies, can proceed, Brown said. Â
