#CryptoCorner; Huobi Expanding to #Brazil, Monster Products Eyes $300 Million #ICO and Hong Kong Rules Out CBDC For Now




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – May 31, 2018 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news reports on what’s driving the cryptocurrency markets with today’s edition of Crypto Corner.



Huobi Expanding to Brazil, Monster Products Eyes $300 Million ICO and Hong Kong Rules Out CBDC For Now

Huobi, the world’s third largest cryptocurrency exchange, is expanding to Brazil according to local outlet Portal do Bitcoin. The piece says that Huobi representatives “were seen distributing” business cards during VI Bitconf, a crypto conference in São Paulo. The piece also claims that Huobi is scouting Brazilian talent via LinkedIn.

“Via Linkedin, the company is also selecting Brazilian talent. Two vacancies are open: the Chief Compliance Officer, whose main function is to monitor the operations carried out, aiming to identify deficiencies and irregularities in the processes of exchange, trading, systems and registration, thus preventing money laundering in these operations with possible fraud irregularities . The other is for Digital Marketing Manager, whose function is to develop the brand in Brazil and create a strategy for its growth.”

Monster Products, the company responsible for Beats headphones, are planning to hold a $300 million USD ICO, according to an SEC filing dated May 25. The proceeds from the sale of Monster Money Tokens (MMNY) tokens will go to the creation of an Ethereum-based e-commerce platform called the Monster Money Network.

The Company intends to develop Monster Money Network in three stages as set forth below:

    Stage I: establish Monster Money Network to provide the basic transactional functions, such as Monster Money Wallets and processing transactions in MMNY Tokens;
    Stage II: establish a private off-chain platform where micro-transactions can be completed without or with very limited transaction costs caused by mining activities (“gas”).
    Stage III: complete Monster’s blockchain and integrate such blockchain to the operating systems of the Company, such as marketing, accounting and auditing, payroll services, inventory control and shipping management.

Hong Kong has no current plans to issue a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), according to a government press release yesterday. Joseph Chan, the Acting Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, did not rule out CBDCs in the future but cited Hong Kong’s robust existing payment infrastructure as reason not to currently pursue it.

“The HKMA has carried out research on CBDC. At the same time, the HKMA notes that the benefits of CBDC and its efficiency gains will depend on the actual circumstances of a jurisdiction. In the context of Hong Kong, the already efficient payment infrastructure and services make CBDC a less attractive proposition. The HKMA has no plan to issue CBDC at this stage but will continue to monitor the international development.”

#CryptoCorner; South Korean Court Orders Seizure of $1.4 Million of #Bitcoin,  #Chinese President Praises #Blockchain and Poland’s #BitBay to Move to Malta




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – May 30, 2018 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news reports on what’s driving the cryptocurrency markets with today’s edition of Crypto Corner.




South Korean Court Orders Seizure of $1.4 Million of Bitcoin, Chinese President Praises Blockchain and Poland’s BitBay to Move to Malta

South Korea’s Supreme Court ruled in favour of the forfeiture of roughly $1.4 billion USD worth of bitcoins in a “case of cyber sex crime”. Yonhap News reports that the operator of a child pornography website has been sentenced to 18 months in prison and must pay a penalty of 696 million won ($644,000 USD) in addition to the confiscation of bitcoins.

The ruling is significant as initially the seizure of 191 bitcoins was contested by a lower court as they weren’t physical assets, but was then overturned by the top court.

“The 33-year-old was charged in May 2014. A lower court refused the prosecution's request for the forfeiting of Ahn's cyber assets, saying they exist electronically and have no physical form.

An appeals court reversed the ruling, deciding that cryptocurrency can be seen as "profit earned from trade in goods."”

Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed approval for blockchain technology in a speech at an academic conference on Monday, naming it as part of a “new generation” of tech that is leading a “breakthrough”.

The new generation of information technology represented by artificial intelligence, quantum information, mobile communication, internet of things, and blockchain accelerate the breakthrough in application and bred new life science fields represented by synthetic biology, gene editing, brain science, and regenerative medicine.”

Poland’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, BitBay, is moving to crypto haven Malta in response to being shut out by all Polish banks. In an announcement yesterday, BitBay said that all functions of the exchange will be available until May 31, 2018, and that users are encouraged to pick up with the exchange once it moves.

“After logging on account on bitbay.net webpage Users will be able to create their own BitBay account in Malta. The exchange will be conducted by the new supplier on Malta with usage of the same software as until now was used by BitBay exchange in Poland, based on the domain bitbay.net and BitBay trademark.”

Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – May 29, 2018 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news reports on what’s driving the cryptocurrency markets with today’s edition of Crypto Corner.
                                   


South Korea to Lift ICO Ban, Sygnia to Launch Crypto Exchange, EOS to Set ICO Record Despite Security Concerns and ‘Catch Me if You Can’ Former Forger Predicts Big Things for Blockchain

A report in BusinessKorea today indicates that the country’s National Assembly is calling for a lift on the ban of initial coin offerings (ICOs). The Assembly’s “special committee on the fourth industrial revolution” held a general meeting on Monday, where they proposed legislation and policy while accusing the administration of “neglecting its duty in responding to blockchain application expansion”.

“The special committee on the fourth industrial revolution said, “We need to form a task force including private experts in order to improve transparency of cryptocurrency trading and establish a healthy trade order. The administration also needs to consider setting up a new committee and building governance systems at its level in a bid to systematically make blockchain policy and efficiently provide industrial support. We will also establish a legal basis for cryptocurrency trading, including permission of ICOs, through the National Assembly Standing Committee.””

South Korean authorities had imposed a total ban on ICOs last September.

South Africa’s Sygnia Asset Management, plans to launch a cryptocurrency exchange called SygniaCoin in the third quarter of this year, according to a report on BusinessTech. Sygnia CEO Magda Wierzycka made the announcement on Friday, saying:

“We have spent the past six months actively researching a number of new strategic initiatives that will position Sygnia for the evolving digital future, as well as help its new business development and distribution efforts.”

Scheduled to end on June 1, 2018, the EOS ICO is “on track to raise more than $4 billion” USD according to the Wall Street Journal today. This would make EOS creator Block.one’s ICO far and away the highest to date, dwarfing the former highest Telegram ICO which reached $1.7 billion USD earlier this year. This follows news that Chinese internet security company, Qihoo 360, had found major security risks in the EOS blockchain platform.

CCN reports that Frank Abahnale, the security consultant and former forger whose autobiography Catch Me If You Can inspired the 2002 film of the same name, believes blockchain technology adoption is a certainty. Speaking at the Blockchain Nation Miami Conference, Abagnale said:

“I think you would have to be pretty ignorant not to realise that blockchain is the way for the future, it is the best way to secure information 100 percent, so I think you will see banks, especially accounting practices and accounting firms, all move to the blockchain, keeping records through blockchain. It will be the best way to do so because you cannot break the blockchain, you cannot hack into the blockchain, you can’t change anything in the blockchain.”
