Stocks discussed: (NYSE:LN) (OTC:SBHGF) (NasdaqGS:RIOT)
The Bank of Korea
(BoK), South Korea’s central bank, has announced plans to begin testing for its
digital currency next year, according to a report from the Korea Herald today. This would conclude the
BoK’s 22-month pilot program, which was announced in April of this year.
Despite this announcement, the BoK insists that this pilot program does not
guarantee the adoption of a CBDC, but that the bank is “merely testing the
waters.” The report in the Korea Herald asserts that “the coronavirus pandemic
is accelerating global CBDC development, with more and more people turning to
contactless and cashless payments.”
Across the sea in
Japan, LVC, the blockchain and crypto exchange division of messaging giant LINE
(NYSE:LN), is launching a crypto lending
service. CoinDesk reports that the service allows users
to lend cryptocurrencies to the company’s BITMAX crypto exchange, whereupon
lenders will receive a “rental fee,” akin to a bank loan interest payment.
Moreover, according to the report, from Oct 7 to Oct 30 LINE will run “a
campaign that will let users earn up to 10% per annum of the fee from the
lending service.”
Elsewhere in Japan,
SBI Holdings, Inc. (OTC:SBHGF) has announced the acquisition of TaoTao crypto
exchange. A loosely translates excerpt outlines the company’s intention with
the exchange:
In the future, we will make maximum use of the
management resources such as know-how and knowledge of the SBI Group as a
comprehensive financial group and the customer base and service know-how of
crypto assets that TaoTao has cultivated so far, and the latest, safe and
secure crypto assets. We will provide trading services.
Riot Blockchain,
Inc. (NasdaqGS:RIOT) has purchased an additional 2,500 next generation
S19 Pro Antminer (110 TH/s) cryptocurrency miners for USD $6.1 million from
BitmainTech PTE. LTD., scheduled for receipt and deployment delivery in
December 2020. This addition, which continues Riot’s operational expansion, is
expected to bring 842 PH/s in operational hash rate with 9,540 miners deployed
by late December 2020 – a 50 percent increase over the company’s previous
projections.
