Cryptocurrencies have recently held my attention, so I’ve been following it closely.
In this 7th episode of leonews, I want to talk about some headlines that struck me as worth discussing.
So, let’s get a coffee and start on with the thrilling and sometimes capricious world of cryptocurrency
Bye Bye OKX in India
It is quite sad to hear that crypto exchange OKX is saying goodbye to its operations in India.
It is discouraging for someone like me who believes cryptocurrencies have the power to alter finance, as we see regulatory roadblocks stalling progress in certain parts of the globe. In this regard, India, with a large population and growing interest in digital assets could have been a huge market for OKX.
But due to regulations by authorities; it has had to withdraw from there. This shows how important it is for clarity of regulation around innovation through partnership between the industry players and policy makers, while ensuring consumer interests are safeguarded.

Welcoming a New CFO at Backpack
However, the crypto exchange Backpack has recently chosen Oliver Sleafer as its Chief Financial Officer.
It is always encouraging to see people from traditional finance, that have solid experience joining the cryptocurrency market. Therefore, in terms of the insight it can bring to Backpack, Sleafer’s liquidity management background at Stripe and Credit Suisse could be very useful.
The move not only further strengthens the leadership team for this exchange, but also shows confidence in digital asset trading platforms going forward.
