Goldilocks’ Comments and Global Economic News Tuesday Evening 2-20-24

Good Evening,

* At 12:00 EST, the vote for Protocol 20 will begin. *

The merger of Protocol 20 completes the Quantum System upgrade from Protocol 19 to Protocol 20.

There is a chance that a volatility event could happen during this time as our tokenized assets move into real values on the new Quantum Financial system.

During this transfer of assets, traditional assets are being tokenized and supported by commodities.

This will help our markets and banking system work with real-world values as they synchronize into one another. Stellar

“Regulatory Changes Impacting PDX Operations Heading Into 2024

PDX Coin is the heart of a global payments and digital banking platform that aims to enable hundreds of millions of retail users, institutions, merchants, vendors and ecosystem partners to easily participate in the crypto economy with instant conversion between digital currency and fiat currency.”

Recent regulations in the crypto space are coming fast and furious at this point. On January 10, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved 11 Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).

This move alone has created the need for clear regulations and guidelines to move the crypto space forward into the new QFS. The emerging regulation of stablecoins are in process and expected to be nearly complete if not completed by the midpoint of this year.

Payments and cross-border trades will be well on their way to adoption the second half of this year. New regulations for stablecoin users in the European Union will go into effect, and Hong Kong and the UK will be somewhere in that time frame or following.

In just a few short months, the world as we once knew it will have changed. It begins today with Protocol 20 as Quantum Technologies from around the world begin to move into the Stellar Network.
