In other news, the cryptocurrency has had another of the chart week with sharp variations. Bitcoin has managed to gain a total value of +5% on a weekly basis and this not exactly the best result because many top tier altcoins registered solid amounts of double-digit gains. Moreover, XTZ is now close to a +33% height, ETH has also managed to jump by a value of +22% and BNB by +20%.

It comes in as no surprise that BTC influence dropped to a monthly low of 64.1%, but overall parameters have managed to hit the recent high points close to the 72% value on the 3rd of January, but since then it has been declining continuously across the chart.

This momentum has managed to prompt a wide array of tensed discussions about the upcoming altseason, however far some arguments may go it is more than clear that the decline towards 60% serves as a solid confirmation for this theory.

The Technical Vibes Of The Industry

It is now more than clear to us that many regulators and government officials all over the planet are diving in a lot deeper into the ocean of blockchain security innovations most of which are revolving around the non-programmable hardware devices such as PKI technology wallets. Devices like HASHWallet are precisely the type of technology that can give crypto holders straightforward command over their tokens but also enables them to be spent easily when demanded. It’s a good example of non-programmable device safety because nobody can modify the content stored on the wallet.

The Archos Safe-T Mini is yet another reliable example and it’s probably the most basic version of hardware wallets for altcoins, but it definitely is a great addition to the field because it’s fairly easy to set up and it offers a wide array of crypto support.

As a direct consequence, the Federal Reserve System (FRS) is deploying a significant amount of effort in researching the notion of central bank-issued digital currency as well as devising a new concept for the USDD (United States Digital Dollar).

FRS senior board member Lael Brainard stated that the central regulator needs to be ready to deal with a brand new type of money to ensure efficient and dynamic compliance of the existing payment networks.

It is imperative to mention that other central banks have also managed to confirm their active interest in this new concept and until now the only institution that has moved into a solid research stage is the Chinese People's Bank.

Across the ocean in the United States commissioner, Hester Pierce member of the Securities and Exchange Commission has made a very interesting statement, Hester Pierce is known to the world as the "Crypto Mom" mostly because of her dedicated attitude towards the cryptocurrency industry.

There is also a significant call to soften the necessities of token sales, which have been launched by blockchain and cryptocurrency startups.

The commissioner also believes that a large set of temporary exemptions will help the teams to raise money and life their projects to a new level much faster.

Voices within the US SEC say that chances of approval are still very small and the head of the SEC Jay Claiton has another view on the matter at hand slightly different than “Crypto Mom” has. At any rate market, analysts find this news remarkably positive signals and the BTC rates have reacted accordingly.
