Central bank of Indonesia has seeks to introduce a digital rupiah (CBDC)
As the country experiences a boom in digital transactions, Indonesia’s central bank on Wednesday presented plans for a digital rupiah currency that will leverage blockchain technology. The action is in line with the development of so-called central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by other central banks around the globe, either in the form of retail tokens for use by consumers directly or wholesale tokens for use by banks in the financial system. Governor Perry Warjiyo stated at a gathering where he also unveiled the central bank’s policy direction for 2023 that the introduction of the digital rupiah will emphasize Bank Indonesia’s (BI) position as the exclusive authority to issue legal tender, including a digital currency.

Crypto exchanges Huobi and Poloniex to forge a “strategic partnership”
A week after dismissing rumors that the two companies were considering a merger, cryptocurrency exchange Huobi said that it will create a “strategic relationship” with Poloniex.” The two exchanges will gradually cooperate in multiple business areas, including HT ecosystem development, project connectivity, liquidity sharing, and global compliance,” Huobi said in a statement on Wednesday. “The two exchanges are committed to building the world’s top trading platform and earning the trust of users.” Top-performing Poloniex projects will be proposed for a direct listing on Huobi, as determined by the advisory board of Huobi. The two exchanges were first said to join on November 25 when Justin Sun, the creator of the Tron network, said that it might happen in the future.

Crypto Winter Hurt Confidence, but Building Digital Asset Infrastructure Remains Key, Says Morgan Stanley
As cryptocurrency prices fell last year, investor interest in digital assets changed, according to a research report released on Wednesday by Morgan Stanley (MS). Retail interest in price levels and volatility has decreased, while traditional financial clients’ demand for regulated products has increased, the report said. The market is reevaluating the value of all the project tokens issued in light of this month’s collapse of FTX and its sister company Alameda Research, as well as “whether they have been used as assets for leverage,” the note said. The industry is anticipating more bankruptcies and deleveraging, according to discussions at the bank’s second annual Cryptocurrency vs. Traditional Finance event on November 28. Read details here
