The supply chain industry generates over 13% of global GDP and is the lifeblood of the global economy. Innovations in this industry drive savings to every business and consumer on the planet.
Trillions of dollars are spent every year transporting everything from raw materials to finished goods, and every year billions in value is lost due to delays and disputes, driving up transport costs and slowing the cash flow cycle. The largest brands in the world lose 1% of revenue they can never invoice without proof of delivery to retailers, and transporters wait weeks to be paid.
The industry is ready to move to a blockchain-based platform that provides real transparency and proof of activity. This will allow every participant to invoice and be paid faster, grow their business, improve service and lower costs.
The Open Enterprise Logistics (OEL) Foundation and Alliance has been established to provide a standard Enterprise Architecture for all supply participants to build logistics dApps and blockchain-enable their technology.
Early adopters have already achieved real-world success, with Alliance member OpenPort becoming the first in the world to sell a blockchain-powered transport invoice on the AssetChain marketplace. https://bit.ly/2GqoBHD
OEL Alliance members are acting now to remove the paper trail, create trust and liquidity, and bypass intermediaries.
Members – from the largest shippers to the smallest transporters – will use the OPN (“open”) token to fuel the ecosystem behind one of the largest industries in the world. The TGE for OPN is a chance be part of an enterprise project that will change how goods and payments flow through the supply chain.

Acudeen Facilitates the First Blockchain-Enabled Invoice Factoring Transaction in the Philippines with OpenPort
Following last week’s exciting news of a partnership between Acudeen Technologies and OpenPort, The Acudeen Team is proud to announce that…
The panel discussions at Futurama Blockchaim Innovators Summit for the first time will raise the hot topic of the increasingly controversial role of crypto exchanges and their impact. For the first time in the crypto space, the unique networking-focused platform of Futurama has decided to bring heads of major exchanges, emerging crypto-friendly jurisdictions, leading regulators, crypto banks, and Blockchain entrepreneurs together to debate some of the most paradoxically existential issues regarding the role of centralized exchanges in this decentralized brave new world. Joshua Hong, Co-Founder of Futurama Blockchaim Innovators Summit added:
"Personally speaking, the reason the market has not been taking the news of new regulations or hacking incidents rather well is because market participants do not know what to expect or how to cope with these issues. In fact, I have not seen or heard truly honest and direct conversations between the regulators and the leading exchanges on how to shape the future of cryptocurrency market through collaboration and education. I would also argue that the same lack of direct and honest conversation about how to self-regulate token listings between the exchanges and the crypto ecosystem does exist and is continuously fueled by new ICOs. So, we've decided to devote our second iteration of Futurama in Ibiza to that end."

We will see a greater and wider use of blockchain [...] In a few years blockchain will replace the existing technology, today it only coexists with the current one. We are currently following many paths. We invented a blockchain with an open code based on Ethereum. Actual blockchain technology has not yet resolved issues with privacy and scalability that we needed. We are connected to Hyperledger and Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. The application of this technology in business is more important to us than the technology itself. We are looking not only for cost reduction, but also for opportunities to develop new products.

⛓The Creator of Javascript Brendan Hitch created his own Universal Protocol Platform for providing block-compatibility, it includes block libraries that are able to communicate with each other.
He believes that his work will help the decentralized exchanges to make the trading process much more easier.
For this purpose, intermediate tokens are created that can correlate with bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and any other asset.
At the same time, these tokens are not native to a particular block, and can be created on any distributed registry protocol.
Also this platform will increase the overall liquidity of the cryptocurrency ecosystem, moreover, it can help restore private keys and protect users from losses.
The listing of new coins will become easier, and in the long term the process can even be automated.
FBG Capital, Alphabit and Arrington XRP Capital have already invested in the Universal Protocol Platform.

🔷The price of Dash cryptocurrency has jumped by 26 percent in one day as the Dash Core Group company partnered with the smartphones manufacturer Kripto Mobile.
From now on all Kripto Mobile devices will include Dash wallets.
These advantages will allow users to seamlessly make transactions in everyday life. At the same time, the cost of a smartphone does not exceed $100.
On the growth of the price might also influence the growing interest from the Venezuelans who have lost their believe in a Bolivar.
According to CEO Dash Core Group Ryan Taylor:
In early July, the number of merchants in Venezuela that introduced Dash into the payment system was about 400, and now there are more than 800. Last week, 94 Venezuelan companies added Dash, which is about twice the average for seven days.

CRYPTOCARZ IS THE WORLD'S FIRST BLOCKCHAIN-ENABLED VR RACING EXPERIENCE
CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.
To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.
Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.
WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.
Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way
THE CONCEPT
Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain. To race in the game, a user will have to demonstrate ownership of a car that is modelled and stored as an ERC721 Ethereum token in the gamer’s private wallet. The car will then be loaded into the game via integration with MetaMask and other proprietary tools
The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

Coinbase Survey Shows 18% of US Students Now Own Cryptocurrency
University students are clamoring for more courses about cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
That's according to a nationwide survey of 675 students, commissioned by crypto exchange Coinbase and released today. According to the survey, 21 of the top 50 U.S. universities, as ranked by U.S. News and World Report, now offer a class on blockchain technology or cryptocurrency, and at least 11 colleges offer more than one.
"Students today are really thinking deeply about economic issues and alternative economic futures," Bill Maurer, the dean of the School of Social Sciences at the University of California Irvine, said.
He continued:
"Teaching about this kind of stuff now can be really powerful for students that are trying to find their own way and envision what kind of possible alternatives there might be to the prevailing economic system."

Deloitte: Tech and Telecom execs plan to invest millions in blockchain
A new survey from Deloitte found that 40 percent of executives from the telecom, media and technology (TMT) space want to invest millions in blockchain research during the next year.
Published Tuesday morning, the findings – included in a report from the Deloitte Center for Technology, Media & Telecommunications – form part of a wider look into how the technology could be applied to those business sectors.
To that end, the researchers behind the report surveyed 1,053 executives in seven countries, including 180 from TMT firms. They found that 84 percent of all respondents "believe that blockchain will broadly scale and reach mainstream adoption."
Roughly 59 percent say they think blockchain could disrupt their specific industries, and 29 percent of all respondents have "already joined a blockchain consortium," according to the report.
Further, overall interest in blockchain has grown as well, according to Deloitte's findings. The firm predicted that revenue for blockchain companies would grow from $340 million in 2017 to as much as $2.3 billion by 2021.
Deloitte's report included other data points highlighting the interest on the financing side of things. In the first six months of 2018 alone, venture capitalists have funded blockchain startups to the tune of $1.3 billion.
Developers are also increasingly looking into the technology, the report found, saying that "since 2009, the number of blockchain projects on the open-source development platform GitHub has grown significantly."
In 2016, developers produced 27,000 new projects, according to Deloitte.

🌐A regulated alternative trading system for security tokens was launched by the trading platform OpenFinance. Trades started on Tuesday, August 28.
Accredited investors from the United States can already start using this service. Retail investors without accreditation will be able to trade only after a 12 months holding period.
Tokens such as Science, Protos, MintHealth, Corl, Bloxroute and Property Coin will be added in the nearest future. Any tokens sold under the regulations D, S, A + or CF can be added to the platform.
🗣The head of OpenFinance Juan Hernández stressed that the company was always in close contact with regulators when developing and launching the platform.
This is such a new field, that our communications with regulators looked more like educational seminars, during which we showed how our technology and standards of smart contracts comply with the rules of regulators.

The game will initially offer 20 car models representative of the top cryptocurrencies. Each model will have a maximum of 650 units, hard-coded and numerically defined in the smart contract.No further cars in these models will be produced in the future.

CRYPTOCARZ IS A MULTIPLAYER, VIRTUAL REALITY (VR)-ENABLED RACING EXPERIENCE, DEVELOPED USING THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN.
To play, users will have to load the car assets into the game from an Ethereum wallet, where they are stored as an ERC721 token. The ERC721 token has paved the way for a new class of digital assets called non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These allow users to own, customise and maintain control in the
same way as in the physical world.
Blockchain Studios contends that this new asset class opens up new opportunities for user engagement and ownership. We believe that the first wave of innovation will come from gaming. CryptoCarz is the first platform to bring together blockchain, VR and gaming technologies. By giving gamers new options to visualise, own, adapt and race their own car, we think a new era in gaming has arrived.
WE BELIEVE GAMING IT WILL BE TRANSFORMED BY THE RISE – AND INTEGRATION – OF THREE TECHNOLOGIES: BLOCKCHAIN, E-SPORTS AND VR.
Each of them, independently, represents a paradigm shift for game development and consumption. Their attributes will make technology more individual, inclusive and immersive. The combination of these technologies will give rise to new scenarios, where gamers can own, modify, trade and play in an unprecedented way
THE CONCEPT
Cars, gaming and cryptocurrency are shared passions at Blockchain Studios, so combining them was a natural choice when we started working on CryptoCarz. We see strong synergies between the cryptocurrency community and gamers and we believe there is a market for a game that blends racing, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. CryptoCarz is a multiplayer, fully immersive, VR-enabled racing experience, powered by the Ethereum blockchain.

🔈Bithumb might start registering new accounts after signing an agreement with Nonghyup Bank.
It suspended registration of new users on July 31 stating that there was a need for "service improvement".
The decision is expected to come into force on August 30.
Such cooperation will allow cryptocurrency traders to open personal virtual bank accounts for trading on Bithumb.
Nevertheless, local media reported that the real reason was disagreements with Nonghyup Bank about the terms of the contract that arose after the recent hacking attack.

🏛🇵🇱Polish Ministry of Finance has published a new draft law regarding the taxation of cryptocurrency transactions.
It is expected that the Council of Ministers of Poland will approve the bill in the third quarter of 2018.
Virtual currencies are classified as a digital equivalent of value. The authors of the draft law also differentiated the concepts of "cryptocurrencies" and "centralized virtual currencies".
The draft law states that virtual currencies can serve as a means of exchange and be a means of payment, stored and transmitted electronically, and used in e-commerce.
The officials seek to declare incomes from crypto operations as part of the taxable income. Nevertheless, the exchange of cryptocurrencies is not subject to taxation.
Revenues from the sale of goods, services and property will be treated as capital gains.
The proposal also provides taxation for miners. Individuals will only be taxed on the profits from the sale of the mined cryptocurrency.
The cost of the reward is subject to taxation if a group of people are engaged in production.
Residents of the country will have to fill in the declaration.
