Last week, the core vocabulary of the blockchain industry was application landing and metaverse.
First of all, in terms of application implementation, the General Office of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government has issued the "Guangzhou Municipal People's Government's Implementation Plan for the Construction of a National Digital Economy Innovation and Development Pilot Zone in Guangzhou" to speed up the creation of a national blockchain development pilot zone and promote blockchain development. The blockchain industry gathers, cultivates and develops the blockchain industry ecology, and creates an international blockchain application landing test field. At the same time, Beijing officially released the "Action Plan for Promoting High-quality Development in the Southern Region of the City (2021-2025)", proposing to build an industrial system centered on emerging finance, supplemented by technology and professional services, and build a financial technology innovation demonstration zone. In addition, Shenzhen, Yunnan, Heilongjiang, Hainan and other provinces and cities have also issued blockchain-related policies and regulations.
At the same time, many overseas countries have also introduced relevant policies for the implementation of blockchain applications. India plans to develop a blockchain-based verification framework to reduce corporate compliance burdens. There is no doubt that the second half of 2021 will be the golden period for the application of blockchain.
On the other hand, more and more development teams, institutions and individuals are also focusing on the Metaverse. Compared with NFT, which has been popular for nearly a year, Metaverse seems to be a brand new field. However, it is not difficult to understand. We can simply think that Metaverse is a future platform for carrying virtual activities with credible asset value and identity authentication, which realizes the replication of the underlying logic of the real world. Its essence is a platform that carries all virtual activities. Users can socialize, entertain, create, display, educate, trade and other activities, which have a subtle influence and change on users' production and lifestyle.
This means that maybe one day, each of us will have a corresponding identity in the metaverse, and can become an individual beyond reality just like in the movie "Avatar". Of course, this is all a later story. The current metaverse is more like an advanced version of "Virtual Life", allowing users to experience a different life and fun. Facebook announced the establishment of the metaverse product group led by Vishal Shah, vice president of Instagram, and several blockchain game developers have received high financing. The era of the metaverse is accelerating, and it may come soon., Investment and financing newsandandpolicy related

The bill seeks to describe the treatment of crypto assets under five securities laws, the Commodity Exchange Act and the Bank Secrecy Act, as well as the Federal Reserve's treatment of stablecoins and possibly digital fiat currencies. The bill would force the SEC and CFTC to provide legal clarity to most digital asset markets through a joint rulemaking process. Digital assets would also be added under “monetary instruments” in the Bank Secrecy Act, meaning Crypto would be subject to already established anti-money laundering, record-keeping and reporting standards. In addition to the institutions already established, the bill would also create a digital asset transaction repository in which transactions not made public on the blockchain would be reported. The proposed law would also give stablecoins a big boost, requiring any fiat-backed tokens to be approved by the finance minister before they can be issued. The Act explains that no later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Minister of Finance shall establish an application process whereby the Minister may approve or reject persons wishing to issue fiat-based stablecoins, subject to necessary and appropriate terms and conditions. In addition to oversight of dollar-pegged tokens, the bill authorizes the Federal Reserve to issue its own digital dollar and distinguishes existing private dollar stablecoins from being U.S. legal tender.
