周小川示警纯炒作性加密货币，金融要为实体经济服务

据新浪财经消息，今日在“2018陆家嘴论坛”上，中国人民银行原行长周小川表示，最近出现了纯粹炒作性的数字类、加密类的产品，跟实体经济没什么关系，但仍旧还可以继续炒热。他提出，中国从2008年年底提出这个问题，到2010年中央经济工作会议就正式写入“金融要为实体经济服务”，同时也为这个观点考察金融市场和金融产品。从全球来讲，中国这方面走得还不够远、不够充分，以至于最近又出现了纯粹炒作性的数字类的、加密类的产品。

爱沙尼亚电力公司本月开始利用风力发电进行数字货币挖矿



据法新社AFPBB News消息，爱沙尼亚的国有电力公司Eesti Energia于本月开始利用风力发电进行数字货币挖矿，这得益于其邻于波罗的海，风力资源丰富，可降低挖矿成本。该公司董事Oleg Sonajalg表示：“如果能将下一代技术相互协同效应，将会提高我们的竞争力。”

报道还提到，捷克共和国的比特币矿场，充分利用矿场的废热来种植西红柿。

　エストニアの電力会社エストニア電力（Eesti Energia）は、今月から風力発電を利用した仮想通貨のマイニングを開始した。AFPが14日に伝えた。

　エストニア西岸沖のサーレマー島にある、風力タービン７基、発電能力６メガワットのサルメ風力発電所に、マイニング機を設置した。安価な風力発電を利用し、24時間体制で仮想通貨をマイニングする。

　エストニア電力のオレグ・ソナジェルク取締役は「次世代技術間の相乗効果をより多く見いだせれば、将来におけるわれわれの競争力は高まる」と語った。

　マイニングは電力消費量が多い。ビットコインのネットワークは、現在年間およそ2.55ギガワット（ＧＷ）の電力を消費している。参考までに例を挙げると、アイスランド全体の年間電力消費量は平均で3.1ＧＷだ。電力が豊富で安価な拠点を求めることはマイニング企業にとって重要な課題となっている。世界中の仮想通貨マイニングの70％近くが中国で行われており、四川省を拠点としているマイナーが多いは、豊富な水力発電のためだ。

　その電力消費量の大さから、マイニング企業に電力販売を拒否する動きも出てきている。コインテレグラフは、カナダの電力企業大手イドロ・ケベックが今月７日、仮想通貨マイナーからの電力要請の処理を一時停止すると発表したとを伝えた。安価な電力を求めて多くのマイニング企業が集まり、電力需要がイドロ・ケベックの短中期的発電能力を超えたためだ。ケベック州政府は、仮想通貨マイナーへの電力販売を停止するようイドロ・ケベックに命じている。このカテゴリーの電力消費者向けの新たな枠組みを構築する予定という。２月には、イタリア本拠で欧州電力企業大手のエネルが、仮想通貨マイニング企業であるエンビジョン（Envision）に再生エネルギーを販売しないことを発表している。

　環境を配慮しマイニングの電力に再生可能エネルギーを使用する試みや、マイナーへの売電拒否の動きがある中で、マイニング熱を再利用しようとするプロジェクトもある。コインテレグラフは３月、マイニングで発生した熱を利用し、温室でトマトを栽培しているチェコの仮想通貨取引所ナカモトＸの共同創業者の活動を伝えた。

彭博社：泰国上市地产开发商WHA corp.表示可能会在2019年晚些时候进行ICO





WHA mulls funds through coin offering Corporate February 02, 2018 01:00 By   THE NATION
THE WHA Corporation Plc (WHA) is interested in raising funds through an initial coin offering (ICO) to be finalised by the end of this year, while Thailand’s Ministry of Finance will study and choose an approach to digital-currency investments within one month.

Jareeporn Jarukornsakul, group chief executive at WHA, said that the company is studying the use of an ICO, which is often a useful channel to mobilise capital, given there are no interest costs. The company has credit worthiness, as its businesses and assets can be used as underlying assets for the ICO, she said. Such offerings allowing companies to raise capital through the first sale of virtual tokens to the public and have recently gained increased interest among listed companies in the Thai exchange, although clear regulations have not yet been put in place.

WHA estimates this year’s income will jump 25 per cent from last year, following improvement in Thailand’s economic conditions, while investment promotion in the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) will help boost income of the company’s industrial estate business, she said. This year, the company expects sales of land of around 1,400 rai (224 hectares) and customers are now negotiating over 1,000 rai. Of total land now being negotiated, 300 rai are under discussion with a big customer from Europe worth about Bt1 billion, expected to be finalised in the first or second quarter of this year, Jareeporn said. Finance Ministry permanent secretary Somchai Sujjapongse said that a working group assigned by the prime minister will come up with regulations for investments in digital currencies or bitcoin and the direction is expected to be finalised within one month.

深圳夫妻离婚时出现分割比特币等虚拟财产现象

据晶报消息，近年来，深圳的夫妻离婚时，出现了分割游戏装备、比特币等虚拟财产的新现象。

婚姻家事律师郭璇玲接受采访时表示，目前深圳人离婚案件涉及的虚拟财产或创新类型的资产比其他城市来得更早，如淘宝店、微店、域名、区块链等知识产权的案例愈发多见，引申出的虚拟资产、知识产权类的纠纷也比其他城市来得更早和更多。

英国律师事务所Royds Withy King正在处理一桩离婚案件，涉及价值超过60万英镑的数字货币的财产分割。该律所合伙人表示，这类案件比较新颖，由于数字货币缺乏监管、无法追踪，给处理离婚案件的财产分割问题提出挑战。

首先，离婚双方可能不愿意披露真实的数字资产，由于缺乏中央管理机构，第三方也很难得知资产价值；另外，数字货币价格波动程度较高，对价值评估造成困扰，跟踪数字货币可能非常耗时并且昂贵。对此，英国家庭司法委员会发布了一份指导，提供了有希望但最终无法执行的而建议，即双方“需要诚实地对待您拥有的资产和收入”。

美证监会高级官员：数字货币可以降低募资成本





据CCN消息，美国证监会高级官员Kara Stein认为，数字货币有减少投资成本的潜力，它可以降低募资成本，我们正在思考如何拥抱创新以保证其有效落地。

The SEC held a public forum on June 13, “Investing In America: Atlanta Town Hall Meeting.” The town hall was highly anticipated because regulators planned on speaking about cryptocurrency regulations and innovation. The session was open to the public and streamed live on the SEC website.

The discussions reaffirmed that the agency wants to welcome innovation with blockchain technology but is also extremely cautious toward fraud, especially as it relates to retail or individual investors. The stance on ICOs was also the same — that they are securities — though no token or coin was mentioned by name.

Speakers set a general tone that nearly all investment types, outside of cryptocurrency, are increasing in complexity and technological advances, and the agency is improving their own data and technology to keep up and improve security.

Kara Stein, Commissioner of the SEC, said:

“[Cryptocurrency] has the potential to reduce the cost of investing. It could decease the cost of capital allocation. We are being challenged, we are being disrupted like everybody else is… and one of the things we’re thinking about is how embrace the innovation and make sure it’s used effectively. One thing we are thinking through is how to ideally anticipate and prevent problems before they arise.”

“I think remaining competitive requires, both us as regulators and market participants, to thoughtfully evolve with the innovation and not react to it after the fact,” she added. “For example, there are increased risks for pump and dumps and Ponzi schemes, perhaps, because it’s so easy to now invest in that hotel resort community in some African nation.”



Hailed in February as an apologist for blockchain, Jay Clayton, Chairman of the SEC, reiterated that he sees a lot of potential in blockchain’s technology. However, he does believe that the same regulations that have built the US equities markets are still applicable and he “expects them to be followed,” as CCN reported on June 7.

Clayton stated:

“Blockchain technology has incredible promise for securities and other industries. I think we all can agree on that… It greatly reduces transactions costs, including the costs of verification. It’s a powerful technology… That technology, people have used to apply to fundraising… we’ve had pretty clear…rules  on how to conduct fundraising when you’re offering securities. Much of what I have seen in the ICO or token or ICO space, is a security offering… I don’t know how much more clear I can be about it.”

The “much” qualifier follows his statements on April 7 that not all ICOs are fraud, as CCN reported, but that many participants in the ICO industry nevertheless flout federal regulations governing securities offerings.

The Town Hall meeting did not discuss any coins, tokens, projects, or crypto companies in specific. Though Clayton has been at the forefront of ICO crackdowns, he has not changed his belief in the power of blockchain technology.

Abstract
This paper investigates whether Tether, a digital currency pegged to U.S. dollars, influences Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency prices during the recent boom. Using algorithms to analyze the blockchain data, we find that purchases with Tether are timed following market downturns and result in sizable increases in Bitcoin prices. Less than 1% of hours with such heavy Tether transactions are associated with 50% of the meteoric rise in Bitcoin and 64% of other top cryptocurrencies. The flow clusters below round prices, induces asymmetric autocorrelations in Bitcoin, and suggests incomplete Tether backing before month-ends. These patterns cannot be explained by investor demand proxies but are most consistent with the supply-based hypothesis where Tether is used to provide price support and manipulate cryptocurrency prices.

Keywords: Blockchain, Cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin Prices, Tether

爱尔兰领导人：没有任何地方比爱尔兰更适合讨论区块链、加密货币和人工智能



据ccn报道，今天上午，爱尔兰领导人Taoiseach Leo Varadkar在都柏林的MoneyConf会议上宣布，政府正准备将爱尔兰的首都变为欧洲的技术之都。Varadkar称，没有任何比爱尔兰更好的讨论网络安全，区块链，加密货币，人工智能，监管和未来金融科技等问题的地方。

The leader of Ireland, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, took to the stage at MoneyConf in Dublin this morning to announce that the government is gearing up to make Ireland’s capital the technological capital of Europe.

“I think there’s no better place to discuss issues like cybersecurity, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, AI, regulation, and future fintech than here in Ireland, he said, adding:

“Ireland is in some ways emblematic of the revolutionary changes that have taken place in the world of finance and technology. From being an inward-looking, insular place at the edge of Europe, Ireland is an increasingly multicultural, globalized a melting pot of nationalities which is proud to engage with the world.”

Ireland is indeed a booming tech hub with many major fintech and banking institutes housing operational or research and development in Ireland, including Stripe, Mastercard, JPMorgan, Bank of China, and many others.

The Taoiseach announced that the government would be opening 26 new embassies and consulates around the world to increase Ireland’s global footprint, including in Tokyo and Frankfurt.

He further announced that the budget to the IDA, Ireland’s state-run Industrial Development Authority, will be increased over the coming years in an effort to support technology innovation and attract software engineers among other professionals.

On Monday, the IDA announced the launch of Blockchain Ireland, a blockchain research and development initiative aimed at achieving breakthrough innovation in the blockchain space and attracting multinational foreign investment.

Ireland provides access to an EU market of 500 million people and a workforce of 250 million people, and Taoiseach Varadkar stated that this combined with Ireland’s pursuit of innovation are the factors in Ireland becoming a fintech hub.

“We’re now seeing the results of our work developing fintech and blockchain ecosystems here”.

He went on to state that breakthroughs are emerging in the field of blockchain and fintech in Ireland all the time, and that Ireland would continue to cater to fintech companies, not allowing any other country to “eat our lunch.” To continue making Ireland an attractive place for fintech corporations and blockchain R&D, Varadkar unveiled a census of the fintech sector and announced that the Irish Central Bank would launch an innovation hub and an industry engagement program.

“This will ensure that we keep pace with the evolving fintech and regulatory landscape,” he said.

This news shortly follows the announcement that the Irish government is providing $885,000 of funding to be made available for Irish start-ups conducting blockchain and deep tech research.

社交投资平台eToro宣布可购买包含数字货币的投资组合

据coinjournal消息，社交投资平台eToro今天宣布，该平台用户可以在同一个投资组合中购买和持有英国的股票，持有股票、数字货币、交易所基金（ETF）和数千种其他金融资产。



Clients of eToro can now invest directly in shares through the platform, according to an official company announcement. On a practical level, this means that investors can hold shares, cryptocurrencies, ETFS, and “thousands of other financial assets” in the same portfolio. In the past, eToro users were limited to invest in shares via a ‘contract for difference’ (CFD); now they can own the underlying assets themselves.

Additionally, eToro has announced that it will be absorbing stamp duty on the purchase of UK shares, and will not charge ticket or management fees to any user buying shares through eToro. The platform isn’t completely feeless, however; according to the announcement, “fees are included in the spread which is just 0.09% per side.”

Yoni Assia, founder and CEO of eToro, said that the decision to cut costs for users is part of an effort to “make it easy to invest”–and to make eToro the go-to investment platform.


“Price really matters and we think ticket and management fees are exactly the kind of old world practices that put many people off investing. That’s why we’re not charging them, and absorbing stamp duty to boot,” he said.
“[We are] rethinking some of the outdated practices investors might be used to from other investment providers. It also means we’ll continue to expand the range of assets we make available to our 10 million users.”


eToro has been working to expand its offering of assets over the past ten years. “Thousands” of shares are available across Europe, Asia, and the US; so far, ten cryptocurrencies are available on eToro. More coins will reportedly be added throughout this year.

eToro launched its cryptocurrency offering in the United States just last month. While Assia is well aware that the competition to gain crypto users in the US is fierce, Fortune reported that “he predicted the company’s unusual social media features would help it gain a foothold.”

Blockbid首席运营官：交易所越受欢迎 越容易留下漏洞



据英国每日邮报，近日，澳大利亚加密交易所Blockbid首席运营官David Sapper表示：“最近Coinrail遭受黑客攻击表明，快速发展、不断变化的加密货币世界仍对欺诈者和黑客有着强烈的吸引力，这反过来又增加了市场的风险。由于对加密货币交易所和交易的监管不力，未经授权的对核心系统和客户账户的访问是潜在的威胁。交易所越受到欢迎，平台就越难以执行，因此在安全性方面留下了一些潜在的漏洞。”

News of the Coinrail hack, while damaging in the short-term, could actually prove positive in the longer run, according to the chief operating officer of one exchange.

"The Coinrail hack shows that the fast-paced, evolving world of cryptocurrency is continuing to hold strong appeal to fraudsters and hackers, which in turn grows the level of risk for the market," David Sapper, COO of Australian cryptocurrency exchange Blockbid, told The Independent.

"However, hacks on exchanges aren't a new thing and prices of cryptocurrencies will recover as they have done so before."

Despite this broad positivity, analysts were forced to revise optimistic price predictions from the start of the year, with a panel of cryptocurrency experts recently changing their predictions from $33,000 by the end of the year, to just $14,638.

华尔街日报评选25家2018年最值得关注的初创上市科技公司 5家区块链公司入选

据华尔街日报报道，人工智能、区块链、网络安全三大行业的初创公司占据25家上市科技公司的一半。其中区块链公司包括Blockstream Corp. Blockstream、R3、Digital Asset Holdings LLC、Brave Software Inc.、Abra。

For many, 2018 is considered the year of the blockchain. The technology took a considerable step forward in enterprise adoption and was even praised by a bipartisan collection U.S. Senators – an impressive accomplishment in its own right.

Blockchain’s strong year continued when The Wall Street Journal released its annual list of “Tech Companies to Watch.” Of the 25 companies selected, five are blockchain initiatives. Last year, no blockchain-related companies were mentioned.

The highest ranking company, Blockstream, is developing tech for Bitcoin micropayments and cryptocurrency data feeds for traders. Other blockchain companies recognized by the Journal emphasize blockchain business integration, privacy, and mobile development. The full list of blockchain companies comprises of:

Blockstream Corp
R3
Digital Asset Holdings, LLC.
Brave Software, INC.
Abra
R3, which attained the #6 position, was recently entangled in speculative online chatter about their platform’s tangible viability and fundraising mechanism. Their CEO, David Rutter, recently issued a statement on the matter — the recent inclusion in the Journal’s list certainly bolsters their cause.

In an accompanying analysis, WSJ reporter, David Pettit, recognizes blockchain’s emerging place in the tech scene. He writes:

“Growing attention to cryptocurrencies has helped persuade a crop of highly skilled entrepreneurs to work on putting the underlying blockchain technology to various uses.”

Each of these projects is predicated on different value propositions and purposes, yet the list, as a whole, is compiled using similar criteria.

How the List is Made

The list is forward-focused – it strives to identify companies that forged a firm foundation and are now poised to rise even further. It is developed via nominations submitted by tech watchers and data analysts in the tech space.

To qualify, companies must have been in business since the start of 2013 and need to have an estimated valuation of $50 – $500 million. Other factors include:

Founders’ experience
Investor track record
Amount of venture capital raised
Workforce growth
The buzz about the company
In addition to blockchain technology, 2018’s list is saturated with companies focused on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.

How They Fare in The Future

Several previously featured companies have had impeccable years following their inclusion on the Journal’s list. For instance, Ring, a maker of doorbell cameras — #7 on last year’s list — was acquired by Amazon for more than $1 billion.

While Ring’s acquisition is one of the largest ever seen by the Journal’s listed companies, it was by no means the only one. Argus Cyber Security was acquired for $400 million, and Earnest Inc. was purchased for $155 million.

For the continued adoption of blockchain, recognition of these companies is a prominent signal that the enterprise blockchain technology has transcended its cryptocurrency origins.

Circle CEO at MoneyConf Dublin: 'We Are at the Beginning of Tokenization of Everything'NEWS
Crypto and fintech conference MoneyConf in Dublin, Ireland continues today, June 13th, with a live-stream from Cointelegraph available to watch here.

[yt]GkvFFAL8Tug[/yt]

Jeremy Allaire, Co-Founder & CEO of payments company Circle spoke this morning of an unprecedented “crypto-revolution,” saying that global society is “at the beginning of a tokenization of everything.”
Just as the early internet transformed data and communications, blockchain is now poised to revolutionize “every aspect of finance” and “reinvent public and civil services in [its] image”:
“Once you have an open global immutable record-keeping system, [a] transaction-processing system and [a] secure computing environment, you can re-conceptualize on a global basis every aspect of finance… corporate and commercial law, the intermediation of contracts, [and] crucially all of the systems we use in [both corporate and civic] decision making.”
The CEO outlined a vision of a tokenized global economy and society, in which “every form of value storage and public record becomes a crypto-token” that has free-floating market value and can be traded on global digital exchanges.
With crypto-assets, he said, you can “tokenize your house, car or art,” and establish open global financial relationships around any physical property.
The “tokenization of private or public votes in all forms of social governance” would offer an immutable system that is more transparent and accountable than current models.
Allaire outlined five categories of crypto-assets, beginning with privacy-focused cryptocurrencies that remove financial activities from the centralized control of governments and serve as “a public good” on the internet.
So-called ‘crypto-securities’ can function to represent rule-based financial contracts and have a potential that goes “far beyond” a paper contract mediated by a law firm in court. He emphasized that lot of initial coin offerings (ICOs) come under this category.
He then addressed crypto-assets that support transaction settlement systems, such as Ripple (XRP) and Stellar (XLM), as well as very ambitious” blockchain-based platforms such as Ethereum (ETH), which he characterized as “operating systems for the global economy.”  
Allaire’s last category of crypto-assets were fiat-backed stable coins, designed for denominating financial contracts. Allaire emphasized their potential for use cases that require a less volatile price baseline, but still seek the decentralization and security of blockchain.
Just last month, Circle closed a $110 mln fundraising round led by mining hardware manufacturer Bitmain to partner on the development of a US dollar-backed stable coin. Circle’s USDC will be an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum network, and will reportedly be released by Circle in the summer. The investment brought Circle’s valuation to nearly $3 bln, an almost sixfold increase since 2016.

Thomson Reuters Adds Sentiment Data Tracking of 100 Top CryptocurrenciesNEWS
Canadian mass media and information company Thomson Reuters will now be tracking the top 100 currencies in its sentiment data tool. The necessary data will be provided via a partnership with MarketPsych Data LLC, according to a WebWire press release published Wednesday, June 13.

In March, Thomson Reuters had added a Bitcoin (BTC) sentiment data feed to its MarketPsych Indices (TRMI), getting data by scanning more than 400 news and media sites related to cryptocurrencies.
The new TMRI Cryptocurrency Sentiment package (TRMI 3.1) will monitor over 2,000 news and 800 social media sites for 43 sentiments of the top 100 cryptocurrencies. The press release notes that TRMI 3.1 will use visualization tools and quantitative research results to support traders distinguish significant themes.
In April, a Thomson Reuters survey had shown that 1 in 5 financial firms in their sample had expressed interest in expanding to cryptocurrency in the next year, finding that an estimated 56 will offer a form of crypto by October.
Pradeep Menon, the Managing Director and Global Head of Investing and Advisory at Thomson Reuters, said that the shift to crypto in the financial sector prompted the new release:
“Adding a cryptocurrency-focused sentiment feed to our suite of cross-asset solutions has therefore enabled us to provide our customers with invaluable insights that may help them make strategic investment decisions.”
The press release notes that Thomson Reuters introduced crypto trading on Thomson Reuters REDI this year, supporting trading of CBOE and CME Group Bitcoin futures.
In March, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee created another kind of crypto sentiment device - the Bitcoin Misery Index - that measures how “miserable” Bitcoin holders are based on the current prices.
