Memecoin (MEME) price prediction

The cryptocurrency market, including meme tokens, is still largely volatile. But while the future performance of tokens such as MEME and MMTR could depend on various market conditions and events, Memecoin’s listing on Binance has the potential to catapult its price higher.

Having been priced at $0.001 during the recent firesale, harnessing the power of meme culture could see MEME ride the expected bullish sentiment to target $0.1. This outlook will likely hold if Memecoin gains traction by leveraging the community around Memeland and 9GAG.

Memeinator’s short term goal is to reach a market cap of $1 billion, which for early investors, could mean a real bargain at current prices. It’s possible this token could topple many of the meme coins that offer no utility, have no clear roadmap and whose traction relies purely on hype. 

Notably, MMTR is priced at $0.0125 and the next stage is set to see the price increase to $0.0133. MMTR price during the presale will continue to rise through the 29 stages, finally reaching $0.049. It’s possible a bull market performance could have MMTR trading significantly higher than $0.1.

Dubai’s financial regulator approves XRP under its virtual assets regime

  • Ripple says approval allows licensed firms to incorporate XRP into their crypto asset services.
  • CEO Brad Garlinghouse notes that Dubai continues to grow as a global leader in crypto regulation and innovation.
  • Other cryptocurrencies allowed under the DFSA virtual asset regime are BTC, ETH and LTC.

Ripple has announced that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has officially approved the XRP cryptocurrency token under the regulator’s virtual assets regime. 

The approval allows licensed firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to integrate XRP into their virtual asset services, the blockchain company noted in a press release.

XRP joins BTC, ETH and LTC on DFSA’s list

DFSA’s approval of XRP brings the number of digital assets allowed under the regulator’s virtual assets regime to four, with the Ripple token joining Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC).

According to Ripple, the development could see XRP benefit from DIFC’s legal and regulatory clarity. The company also believes this has the “potential to unlock new regional payments and other virtual asset use cases on the XRP Ledger.”

Today’s announcement comes a few days after Ripple inked a strategic partnership with crypto exchange Uphold as it seeks to bolster its cross-border payments infrastructure. It also comes ahead of Ripple Swell, a flagship event set for Dubai on November 8-9, with headline speakers including Alya Al Zarouni, COO of DIFC; and Hensen Orser, the CEO of VARA.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, commenting on the XRP listing, lauded Dubai’s continued approach to the regulation of digital assets, noting its role in “nurturing innovation.”

“It’s refreshing to see the DFSA encourage the adoption and use of digital assets such as XRP to position Dubai as a leading financial services hub intent on attracting foreign investment and accelerating economic growth. Ripple will continue to double down on its presence in Dubai and we look forward to continuing to work closely with regulators to realize crypto’s full potential,” Garlinghouse added.

Turkey eyes new law on crypto assets: report

  • Turkey is preparing a new law on crypto regulation, according to Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek.
  • The legislation looks to toughen approach to money laundering and terrorism financing to bring Turkey into compliance with Financial Action Task Force (FATF) requirements.

Turkey is looking to toughen its approach to cryptocurrency regulation, according to a statement made by the country’s finance minister.

Reuters reported on Wednesday, November 1 that Turkey’s quest for new legislation aims at clear regulation for crypto-assets as a route to getting an upgrade in its money laundering and terrorist financing outlook.

Turkey seeks to comply with FATF requirements

Specifically, Turkey hopes the new law will persuade the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to remove the country from a “grey list” that includes countries whose anti-money laundering (AML) and terrorism financing crackdown is insufficient. 

The global watchdog added Turkey to this list of countries in 2021.

Turkey’s Finance Minister Mehmet Simsek, in an address delivered to a parliamentary commission on October 31, noted that the country was nearing full technical compliance with FATF’s 40 standards. “Work related to crypto assets” was the only issue now.

According to Simsek, the ministry is set to submit to parliament a crypto asset law proposal. Legislative approval of this proposal should see Turkey removed from the “grey list”, unless there are issues – like political considerations.

Reuters says Simsek did not give any other details regarding the expected regulatory step.

The Turkish government’s quest to align with FATF requirements around money laundering and terrorism financing comes amid a wider global push to regulate cryptocurrencies.

That has seen the likes of the EU enacting the Markets in CryptoAsset (MiCA) law and the UK passing into law its Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA). The comprehensive legislations are expected to bring more clarity to crypto regulation, including stablecoins.
