From Ethereum 2.0 to policy debates about stablecoins and DeFi, there’s a lot at stake for the future of money. Opinion for the “Money Reimagined” newsletter by mikejcasey
of Money Reimagined offered a look back at the year that was and explored five ways in which our idea of money was challenged during those insanely busy, news-packed 12 months. This week, we look to the year ahead and consider ways in which money could potentially be further reimagined in 2022.
What’s up for grabs? Well, there’s a decent chance the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will find ways to clarify its position on whether tokens are unregistered securities, with developers of tokens for decentralized finance possibly finding themselves in the crosshairs.
Meanwhile, the SEC will be under pressure to approve a bitcoin ETF that’s based on spot prices, the next logical step after this year’sof a highly limited, futures-based model. We may also get clarity on how closely stablecoin issuers are to be bound by U.S. banking laws. And there will be further consolidation of international rules around anti-money laundering by bodies such as the Financial Action Task Force.
The conversation needs to shift toward mining-integrated energy systems that create incentives not only for miners to use renewable energy but for the sector to essentially finance the development of a more effective, smoothly managed “green” electricity grid. I’m hopeful that 2022 will see that kind of more sophisticated discussion emerge, as local managers of energy solutions join forces with innovators in the mining space.
That’s because Web 2 is such a mess. Humanity needs a way out. The internet, as Balaji Srinivasan and Parag Khanna laid out in a, is already disrupting and decentralizing power structures in the 21st century. We need to adjust our systems for managing digital property and for establishing users’ rights in this new era. That discussion will inevitably intensify in 2022 and it will inevitably bring the many disparate and competing ideas around Web 3 into sharper focus.
