South Korea, the third largest cryptocurrency market behind US and Japan has also prepared stricter cryptocurrency regulations for their exchanges in order to prevent future hacks and money laundering attempts. South Korea intends to legitimize cryptocurrency in order to protect investors and set an industry wide standard.

No More Mt Gox Sell-Offs

Mt. Gox executed several selloffs equaling tens of thousands of Bitcoin, which led to quite a few market crashes throughout 2018. This prevented Bitcoin from gaining momentum at certain key levels.

Kelly reiterated that the delay of any further Mt. Gox selloff until 2019 is very optimistic towards the short term future of Bitcoin. Future potential market selloffs should be eliminated in the midterm due to this event.

The 3 factors outlined by Kelly could fuel a midterm Bitcoin rally. With South Korean and Japanese developments enabling the market to grow with stability and trust from investors returning, this should lead to a beneficial growth for Bitcoin.
