Morocco Drafts Regulations for Crypto, Central Bank Governor Says

The North African country of Morocco has drafted regulations for the crypto sector, its central bank's head said Tuesday.

Abdellatif Jouahri, governor of Bank Al-Maghrib, did not provide many details about these regulations in a speech. The country previously banned crypto in 2017.

"In this regard, Bank Al-Maghrib, with the participation of all stakeholders and the support of the World Bank, has prepared a draft law regulating cryptoassets, which is currently in the adoption process," he said at an international conference in Rabat.

Morocco will also continue to explore whether or not central bank digital currencies —- which are digital tokens issued by central banks —- can contribute to the country's policy objectives like financial inclusion, he said. The country launched its CBDC project three years ago, though Jouahri did not share much detail about this effort either.

"It is a long-term endeavor that must take into account the national socioeconomic context, the evolution of the regional and international environment, as well as the impact on some of the missions of the central bank, particularly monetary policy and financial stability," he said.

African nations have been exploring how to regulate the sector in line with western countries. South Africa launched a licensing regime for firms last year, while Nigeria has lately been prioritizing an enforcement-based approach, as exemplified in its treatment of the Binance exchange and compliance chief Tigran Gambaryan.

Crypto Gets Shock Video Dose as Users Stream 'NSFW' Content to Pump Their Memecoins

The wild 2000s era of internet shock videos is making a return in crypto. Some issuers of memecoins on Solana's runaway hit Pump.fun have been streaming videos ranging from extreme dark humor to dark behavior, all to pump their tokens to a few million dollars in market capitalization. There are streams and images of children tied up, a man locked up in his toilet continuously, killing of hens, fetish videos and softcore porn. Live streaming on the platform was a feature added last week. (Hours after this story was initially published, Pump.fun announced that it was "pausing the live streaming functionality on the site for an indefinite time period until the moderation infrastructure is ready to deal with the heightened levels of activity.") Some tokens even have images of a human slashing forearms or playing with fire (though these are quickly taken down). One person was allegedly firing a gun outside their window every time his token zoomed higher. This sort of shock factor can lead to viral content, drawing in more viewers and potential investors. It isn’t all bad, however. Most of the streams are harmless or contain fun activities such as drawing an egg or talking to an audience. Users have to specifically switch on an “NSFW” tag to land up on questionable content. Most of the dark tokens don’t have an X page, and their issuers have not publicly shared why they choose to engage in extreme behavior. Memecoins often thrive on internet culture, humor, cuteness, and virality — but such acts may cross a line for what’s considered a harmless act for a meme. Such activities can even draw negative attention from mainstream media. X users are also reporting some dark streams, such as suicidal streams, death threats, and animal porn among others. (CoinDesk could not independently verify these posts, or if Pump.fun’s moderation team likely took them down.)

Pump.fun lets anyone issue a token for less than $2 in capital, after which they choose the number of tokens, theme, and meme picture to accompany it. When the market capitalization of any token reaches $69,000, a portion of liquidity is deposited to the Solana-based exchange Raydium and burned. Pump.fun is among the most-used applications in the industry and the biggest revenue generator across all user apps. To be clear, Pump.fun has no role in the type of streams users choose to do and has an active moderation team that takes down dark or malicious content. Pump has been moderating platform activity since it started.

“We actively moderate illicit content on the site. That includes images, videos, live streams, and comments,” Pump founder @a1lon9 wrote in an X post over the weekend. “Although we strongly stand for free speech and expression, it's our responsibility to ensure that users don't see clearly repulsive/dangerous content and that bad actors aren't given a platform to act as they wish.” “If you're aware of a coin where moderation isn't enforced, please report it in our support channels immediately,” he added. Crypto Twitter largely condemns such behavior, however. No influential X account is chiding on issuers of such tokens to continue engaging in their activities, and most of these tokens are failing to break even a $50,000 market capitalization (viral and positive tokens on Pump.fun can easily break $1 million in a few hours). Meanwhile, sentiment for Pump.fun has largely dived negative amid everything taking place on the platform.

UPDATE (Nov. 24, 2024, 20:10 UTC): Adds that Pump.fun has now paused live streaming on its site.

Трамп обирає менеджера прокрипто-хедж-фонду Скотта Бессента на посаду міністра фінансів

Обраний президент США Дональд Трамп назвав менеджера хедж-фонду Скотта Бессента, ентузіаста Криптовалюта , своїм обранцем на посаду міністра фінансів.

Якщо Сенат затвердить його, наступною особою, чий підпис прикрашає паперову валюту США, стане шанувальник екосистеми цифрових валют, створеної для заміни традиційної фінансової системи.

Бессент керує Key Square Group, компанією макроінвестування. Він працював на видатного інвестора Джорджа Сороса три десятиліття тому і, як пише The Wall Street Journal , був «ONE з рушійних сил» знаменитої ставки Soros Fund Management — яка принесла понад 1 мільярд доларів прибутку — що британський фунт стерлінгів обвалиться.

Bitcoin і Крипто в цілому тепер у його полі зору.

«Я був у захваті від того, як [Трамп] прийняв Крипто , і я вважаю, що це дуже добре підходить до Республіканської партії, до її духу. Крипто — це свобода, і Крипто тут, щоб залишитися», — сказав він в інтерв’ю Fox. Бізнес у липні. «Крипто залучає молодих людей, людей, які не брали участі в Ринки».

Трейдери Polymarket поспорили, що він лідер. У ONE момент генеральний директор Cantor Fitzgerald Говард Лутнік також вважався ONE, але зрештою його обрали міністром торгівлі . Лутнік також займався цифровими активами, допомагаючи емітенту стейблкойнів Tether керувати гігантським запасом казначейських зобов’язань США, які забезпечують його стейблкоїн USDT з 2021 року.

Le Bitcoin va atteindre 140 000 $, selon trois IA gérant un fonds d'investissement de 30 millions de dollars

Intelligent Alpha construit des portefeuilles en s'appuyant sur des choix d'investissement basés sur l'IA.

L’entreprise s’appuie sur un trio d’IA — ChatGPT, Claude et Gemini — et met en œuvre leurs décisions, même si elles semblent contre-intuitives.

Les modèles ont jusqu’à présent fait leurs preuves.

Il existe un fonds de 30 millions de dollars qui, à toutes fins utiles, laisse toutes les décisions d’investissement être prises par l’intelligence artificielle (IA).

Le nom de l'entreprise : Intelligent Alpha. Son personnel comprend le fondateur et PDG Doug Clinton, quelques programmeurs et sous-traitants, et un trio d'IA : ChatGPT d'OpenAI, Gemini de Google et Claude d'Anthropic.

Le triumvirat de l'IA constitue le comité d'investissement de l'entreprise et jusqu'à présent, il fait un travail Stellar .

« Certains des meilleurs choix d’IA ont été des positions courtes », a déclaré Clinton à CoinDesk dans une interview. « L’entreprise était à court d’actions Boeing plus tôt cette année, avant que la porte ne s’ouvre sur le 737 MAX [en janvier]. Et AI était en fait à court d’actions pour cette raison – parce qu’elle pensait qu’il y aurait des problèmes de qualité avec l’avion. »

Alors que l'entreprise s'est jusqu'à présent concentrée sur la Finance traditionnelle et s'est largement éloignée des Crypto, Clinton a déclaré qu'il avait commencé à expérimenter spécifiquement le Bitcoin au cours des cinq derniers mois. L'objectif : que l'IA définisse des cibles utiles pour trader la principale Cryptomonnaie du monde.

« Dans le cas d’une WIN de Trump et d’un environnement réglementaire plus favorable, l’IA a estimé que le Bitcoin pourrait peut-être atteindre 140 000 dollars », a déclaré Clinton. « C’est peut-être le scénario vers lequel nous travaillons actuellement. »

Comment ça marche

De nombreuses entreprises utilisent désormais l'IA pour améliorer les processus Human , pour aider les analystes à traiter les données et à réfléchir différemment. Mais la méthode de Clinton consiste à confier la responsabilité au trio de l'IA et à rester autant que possible à l'écart de ses décisions d'investissement.

Le processus est relativement simple. Si, par exemple, Intelligent Alpha cherche à constituer un portefeuille d’actions américaines à forte capitalisation boursière, le fonds rassemblera un ensemble de données sur les entreprises américaines à forte capitalisation boursière, comme les chiffres d’affaires historiques et les projections de bénéfices, et les transmettra aux IA.

L’étape suivante consiste à fournir un cadre philosophique aux IA. Clinton demande aux IA de se mettre à la place de certains des investisseurs les plus célèbres du monde — Warren Buffett, Stanley Druckenmiller, Cathie Wood — et d’appliquer leur façon de penser au portefeuille en question.

Le triumvirat produit ensuite un portefeuille, qu'un Human doit vérifier à deux reprises pour s'assurer qu'il n'y a T d'« hallucinations », selon les termes de Clinton. Par exemple, l'IA peut accidentellement inclure une action récemment acquise ou l'action d'une entreprise à faible capitalisation boursière.

« À part ça, nous essayons de ne pas trop toucher aux portefeuilles », a déclaré Clinton à CoinDesk. « En tant Human, je regarde parfois les portefeuilles et je pense : « Oh, ce choix semble être une très mauvaise idée. » D’autres fois, je vois quelque chose de vraiment intéressant et j’essaie de comprendre la logique. C’est plutôt amusant. »

Le processus implique que les trois IA expliquent leur raisonnement à Clinton. Non seulement cela l'aide à vérifier que les investissements sont alignés avec les objectifs du portefeuille, mais il affirme que les modèles fournissent de meilleurs portefeuilles lorsqu'ils sont obligés d'expliquer pourquoi ils aiment des actions spécifiques.

Il arrive souvent que les IA ne soient pas d’accord. Et leur façon de penser change au fur et à mesure que les mises à jour sont déployées. « Avant, Claude était le modèle le plus anticonformiste en termes de résultats, lorsque nous avons commencé les tests », a déclaré Clinton. « Maintenant, je dirais que c’est ChatGPT. » Et bien que Clinton ait testé d’autres IA telles que Grok ou Lama AI, le fait de limiter le comité d’investissement à trois IA s’est avéré être la configuration la plus efficace.

Prédire l'avenir

Les investisseurs peuvent bénéficier de la stratégie d'Intelligent Alpha par le biais d'un fonds négocié en bourse, l'Intelligent Livermore ETF, lancé en septembre et qui utilise l'intelligence artificielle pour créer un portefeuille d'actions mondiales. D'autres fonds de ce type sont en cours de création, a déclaré Mme Clinton.

Pour l'ETF Livermore, les modèles examinent chaque trimestre financier les Événements mondiaux et tentent de faire des prévisions pour les trois à six mois à venir. Cinq ou six domaines d'opportunités sont ensuite identifiés (en suivant les philosophies d'investissement des grands comme Druckenmiller) et le portefeuille est construit autour de ces secteurs.

Le fait d’avoir des philosophies concurrentes signifie que le portefeuille finit généralement par être assez équilibré. « Dans de nombreux cas, ils recherchent des opportunités idiosyncratiques », a déclaré Clinton. « Nous n’avons T vu de gros problèmes où [les philosophies d’investissement] sont en désaccord, mais même dans ce cas, cela reviendrait à de la couverture. » Les IA elles-mêmes prennent les décisions sur la manière de pondérer les différentes philosophies présentes dans le portefeuille, en fonction des domaines dans lesquels elles ont le plus confiance.

« L’intelligence artificielle a été, du moins jusqu’à présent, très efficace pour anticiper l’avenir », a déclaré Clinton. « Juste avant notre lancement, elle a fait un gros pari sur les actions asiatiques, en particulier les actions chinoises, et c’était juste avant que [le gestionnaire de fonds spéculatifs milliardaire] David Tepper ne passe sur CNBC en septembre et déclare que la Chine était son plus gros pari, qu’elle sortait le bazooka pour la relance. Et vous savez, les actions chinoises ont explosé. »

Autre transaction mémorable : le géant des puces électroniques Nvidia est le premier choix de l'IA depuis le début de l'expérience à l'été 2023. « À l'époque, je me disais : "Oh, mon Dieu". Nvidia avait tellement couru à ce moment-là », a déclaré Clinton. « Mais maintenant, le prix a augmenté d'environ 400 % depuis le moment où l'IA l'a choisi. » La leçon à tirer de tout cela, dit-il, est que les humains réagissent aux graphiques de manière émotionnelle, alors que l'IA «T fiche. Elle dit : "Non, ça va monter". »

Tous les paris ne sont pas forcément concluants, mais jusqu’à présent, les erreurs sont restées marginales, selon Clinton. L’IA a acquis un bon historique en ce qui concerne les Événements macroéconomiques, a-t-il ajouté. D’ une part, elle a prédit la réélection de l’ancien président Donald Trump.

Et les Crypto?

ONEune des raisons pour lesquelles Intelligent Alpha ne se concentre T trop sur la Crypto est tout simplement le manque de données. Leurs transactions ont peut-être eu lieu sur la chaîne, mais il n'existe aucun moyen simple de revenir en arrière et de trouver le type de configurations de trading et de philosophies d'investissement utilisées par des investisseurs Crypto célèbres comme Cobie ou GCR. La plupart du temps, tout ce que vous pouvez faire est de vous baser sur leurs publications sur X - et il est difficile de savoir si les publications reflètent la réalité.

Cela étant dit, la dépendance de la communauté Crypto à l'égard de X signifie que Grok pourrait finir par jouer un rôle dans le triumvirat d'Intelligent Alpha un jour à des fins Crypto , a réfléchi Clinton, puisque ce modèle est formé et affiné avec les données de la plateforme de médias sociaux.

« La question que nous étudions ici est la suivante : que pouvons-nous faire avec l’IA qui serait peut-être unique et différent et qui se démarquerait un BIT», a déclaré Clinton. « Trouver une façon unique d’utiliser l’IA pour identifier les projets Crypto qui se démarquent, ce serait une façon vraiment intéressante d’utiliser la technologie. »
