The post Metaplanet taps $100M Bitcoin-backed loan for BTC purchases, share buyback appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The loan came shortly after Metaplanet launched a $500 million Bitcoin-backed share buyback program, after its market-based net asset value fell below 1.0. Tokyo-listed Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet secured a $100 million Bitcoin-backed loan to purchase additional BTC and repurchase its shares. According to a Tuesday filing, the funds were borrowed on Oct. 31 under a credit agreement that allows the company to secure short-term financing using its Bitcoin (BTC) holdings as collateral. The lender’s identity was not disclosed, but the company said the loan carries a benchmark US dollar rate plus a spread and can be repaid at any time. Metaplanet said that the loan structure is conservative, noting it holds 30,823 BTC, worth around $3.5 billion as of the end of October, a position large enough to maintain healthy collateral coverage even if Bitcoin’s price declines.

Privacy is ‘Constant Battle’ Between Blockchain Stakeholders and State

Privacy is ‘Constant Battle’ Between Blockchain Stakeholders and State

The post Privacy is ‘Constant Battle’ Between Blockchain Stakeholders and State appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Blockchain industry participants and regulators continue wrangling over privacy rights as the European Union’s sweeping Anti-Money Laundering (AML) rules look set to ban privacy-preserving tokens and anonymous crypto accounts starting in 2027. Credit institutions, financial institutions and crypto asset service providers (CASPs) will be prohibited from maintaining anonymous accounts or handling privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies under the EU’s new Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR) that will go into effect in 2027, Cointelegraph reported in May. Maintaining the right to access privacy-preserving coins like Monero (XMR) has been a “constant battle” between blockchain industry stakeholders and regulators, according to Anja Blaj, an independent legal consultant and policy expert at the European Crypto Initiative. “Once you think of how the states want to play out their policies, they want to establish control. They want to understand who the parties are that transact among themselves,” said Blaj, speaking during Cointelegraph’s daily live X spaces show on Sept. 3. “[The state] wants to understand that to be able to prevent whatever crime and scamming is happening, and we want to enforce the policies that we create as a society.” Her comments came as the EU ramped up its regulatory oversight of the crypto industry, building on the bloc’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). Related: Swiss banks complete first blockchain-based legally binding payment Room for negotiation remains While the AML framework is final, regulatory experts still see potential for negotiation until it rolls out in 2027. Policymaking is a “continuous conversation,” meaning that “nothing is set in stone, even if the regulation is already out,” said Blaj. “There are still ways to either talk to the regulators, see how it’s going to play out, how it’s going to be enforced.” While there’s always room for negotiations with policymakers, the regulation concerning privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies and accounts is becoming “more…
