Bitcoin Cash arose as a result of suggested updates to the Bitcoin protocol that were not unanimously accepted. A hard fork split the original Bitcoin network, and the coins along the new fork have since been referred to as ‘Bitcoin Cash,’ which trades under the ticker ‘BCH.’

The 'Travel Rule' may sound like something pertaining to the aviation industry, but it is actually an essential piece of legislation that financial institutions–now including virtual asset service providers (VASPs) like EQONEX–must observe.

The number-one cryptocurrency almost resembled a stablecoin with its uncharacteristic lack of volatility during that time. So, how do traders learn to trade in sideways markets and capitalize on the smallest fluctuations in an asset's price? Here are a few tips.

As cryptocurrency reaches the mainstream, the importance of integrity among participants and the need to implement best practices becomes ever more pressing.

With the cryptocurrency markets beginning 2021 in earnest, we review the regulatory approaches taken by different jurisdictions.

But, is a uniform approach possible with such different degrees of comfort toward cryptocurrencies between global regulators?
