Stocks discussed: (KSE:005930) (NYSE:NKE)
South Korean
electronics giant Samsung (KSE:005930) has invested $2.9
million into crypto wallet startup Ledger, according to a report from French
business magazine Capital. The investment
raises the valuation of Ledger to roughly $290 million. The crypto startup is
known for its Ledger Nano S, a hardware wallet that resembles a USB stick.
France’s Minister of Economy and Finance, Bruno Le Maire, said of the company:
"Ledger has everything to become very quickly our
first French unicorn blockchain.”
CoinDesk reports that
France’s new legal framework governing the crypto space will guarantee bank
accounts to crypto startups and blockchain projects. Companies that opt in to
the framework drafted by the AMF, the country’s financial markets overseer,
will not be refused business by banks. Domitille Dessertine, head of the
fintech, innovation and competitiveness division at AMF, said:
“The relationship between the project and the bank
remains contractual, but if the banks refuse then they will need to justify
with us why they have refused to open a bank account.”
Dessertine also
indicated that the legislation has already sparked interest from the crypto
space:
“There has been significant interest in the new license
proposed for digital asset service providers, which includes crypto exchanges,
be they fiat to crypto or crypto to crypto. So if Huobi, for instance, wants
this license it will be possible for them to ask for it.”
Nike (NYSE:NKE) has filed a
trademark application in the U.S. for
“Cryptokicks”. The document indicates a series of cryptocurrency-related
functions intended for the name. Trademark attorney Josh Gerben posted an
analysis of the application on Twitter. In his analysis,
Gerben reacts to the line in the document that reads, “providing a digital
currency or digital token for use by members of an on-line community via a
global computer network”, with the opinion that: “this is trademark speak for ‘this is a cryptocurrency called
Cryptokicks.”
Blockchain and
fintech company Coinme has announced that it is
experiencing considerable growth in the amount of bitcoin ATM kiosks opening in
the U.S. in its collaboration with Coinstar, with over 2,000 locations now
operating. Neil Bergquist, CEO and co-founder of Coinme, said:
“Our rapid growth is the result of our leadership in
digital currency from the early days of the industry and our expanded ability
to offer local kiosks for its purchase. Through our relentless focus on
customer success and product innovation, we have become the trusted, safe and
secure global standard for digital currency exchange.”
