(NYSE:JPM) (NasdaqGS:CME)
U.S. television
provider Dish Network Corporation (NasdaqGS:DISH) has filed a patent application for a
blockchain-based anti-piracy management system, according to a report from TorrentFreak. The system is
explained in the abstract of the application:
“A software and/or hardware facility that can be used
by content owners to assert ownership of content so that copyright friendly
websites and services can take action against copyright piracy effectively,
efficiently and is scalable is disclosed. The facility makes available to all content owners
watermarking/fingerprinting technology so an identifier can be embedded in the
content. The facility utilizes blockchain technology to add information related
to each unique identifier in a database and allows an authorized user to update
the information through a blockchain transaction.”
Bangkok-based
fintech firm Lightnet has raised $31.2 million USD in a Series A funding round,
according to a report from Business
Insider Malaysia.
The report indicates that Lightnet is “Asia’s first blockchain company to
receive financial backing from six large conglomerates” which include the likes
of Seven Bank (TYO:8410) and UOB Venture
Management, a subsidiary of United Overseas Bank (SGX:U11). Lightnet CEO,
Suvicha Sudchai, explained:
“Lightnet is offering three innovative solutions,
BridgeNet, LiquidNet and SmartNet. The main platform has been completed, and
the first transaction is slated for Q1 2020. In addition to the potential
500,000 cash agents across our ecosystem, Lightnet will integrate with several
renowned payment and remittance partners such as MoneyGram, Seven Bank, Yeahka,
Ksher across Japan, South Korea, and several other South East Asia nations to
ensure successful activation of our ecosystem.”
Crypto derivatives
exchange FTX has launched Bitcoin (BTC) options trading, according to a tweet from company CEO
Sam Bankman-Fried. Following the announcement, Bankman-Fried revealed in subsequent tweets that “FTX options
just hit $1m of volume since the launch 2 hours ago!” and “traded about 2,000
contracts in their first 12 hours!”
Elsewhere, JPMorgan
Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) is seeing a
growth of institutional interest and “high anticipation” for the launch of CME
Group Inc. (NasdaqGS:CME) Bitcoin options today, according
to a report from BloombergQuint. An excerpt
outlines the observations of JPMorgan analyst Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou:
“There has been a step increase in the activity of the
underlying CME futures contract” over the past few days, Panigirtzoglou wrote,
noting that open interest has increased 69% from year-end, and that the number
of large open-interest holders has grown. “This unusually strong activity over
the past few days likely reflects the high anticipation among market
participants of the option contract.”
