Crypto Industry News:
Donating cryptocurrency donations to political parties received the approval of Japanese Interior Minister and Communications Minister Sanae Takaichi at a press conference.
According to a local media report, Takaichi said political cryptocurrency donations do not have to be disclosed under the Political Funds Control Act, as opposed to cash and securities. Therefore, cryptographic donations can also be made without restrictions.
"Cryptographic resources are not subject to any of the above [regulations] and do not limit donations" - said the minister.
As cryptographic donations become more and more popular, Japanese political parties will have to deal with taxonomy and govern themselves, Takaichi continued. Because this will limit the political activity of politicians, the problem will be discussed by every party and group.
The Japanese cryptocurrency industry is strictly regulated by the Financial Services Agency (FSA), which did not approve any opening of exchanges in 2018 and only 16 in 2017.

Trading recommendations:
The best strategy in the current market conditions is to trade with the larger timeframe trend, which is still up. All the shorter timeframe moves are still being treated as a counter-trend correction inside of the uptrend. When the wave 2 corrective cycles are completed, the market might will ready for another impulsive wave up of a higher degree and uptrend continuation.
