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.”

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.”

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.”
