The crypto market
has stayed fairly strong since we left off on Friday, growing from a $169
billion total market cap to just under $181 billion at press time, according to
CoinMarketCap. The market
matched last Wednesday’s peak total market cap on Sunday, briefly hitting $185
billion, the highest market cap since November 2018. Currently Bitcoin (BTC) is trading for
$5200, having gotten as high as $5300 during the Sunday market peak. Following
are Ether (ETH), with a trading
price of $178, XRP at $0.35, Bitcoin
Cash (BCH) at $305 and
Litecoin (LTC) at $88.
Private bank
Kleinwort Hambros has issued a blockchain exchange-traded note (ETN), according
to a report from FinExtra this morning.
According to the piece, the ETN portfolio of stocks will include an array of 20
companies spanning the tech,
shipping, oil and gas, custody banking and industrial sectors. The blockchain
ETN is available for a minimum investment of €1000 EUR. John Birdwood,
portfolio manager at Kleinwort Hambros, said:
“We have seen
increasing interest from clients in the area of blockchain. We have built an
innovative product which will provide our clients with the diversified exposure
to the promising growth prospects blockchain technology offers."
IBM (NYSE:IBM) has patented a new technology
that analyzes data and
interactions for self-driving vehicles (SDVs) using blockchain technology. An
excerpt from the patent description outlines how blockchain is leveraged:
The open blockchain network (such as IBM's
hyper-ledger) may be used to maintain the MIH [Mobility Information Hub] which
contains driving history of drivers within a distance of the current SDV. The
SDV may be one of the nodes in the open blockchain network to participate on
transaction validation (for example, uploading data). Our invention may
implement advanced analytics/learning models (for instance, driver behavior
models) on top of the open blockchain. Thus, the system only allows authorized
entities (SDV, a driver, traffic control node, etc.) to access data and models.
The SDV may fetch the predicted behavior of the nearby drivers in real-time via
a blockchain client application by passing the nearby driver(s) identification
(for instance, a license plate number).
Cointelegraph reports that
another tech firm, Accenture (NYSE:ACN), has also filed
two blockchain-related patents recently. The first provides a method for cryptologic blockchain
interoperability, which allows users to share data stored on the blockchain
using a digital signature. The second is for a cryptologic self-executing
blockchain export commitment, which Cointelegraph describes as an
“interoperability smart contract solution that uses a pre-commit authorization”
wherein “the sender is able to lock the token data on the blockchain while
waiting for confirmation from the receiver”.
