Turkish exchange develops Blockchain-based Customer Database
Turkey's Borsa Istanbul Stock Exchange (BIST) has developed a blockchain-powered customer database, Daily Sabah reported September 6.
Founded in 2013, BIST is the result of the merger of the Istanbul Stock Exchange, the Istanbul Gold Exchange, and the Turkish Derivatives Exchange (TurkDex). Per the exchange’s annual report for 2017, it has 399 listed companies, a market capitalization of around $133 billion, and $1 trillion of total traded value.
The recent development will synchronize the customer databases of Borsa Istanbul, Istanbul Clearing, Settlement and Custody Bank (Takasbank), and the Central Securities Depository of Turkey (MKK).
The new platform, which is “designed under the Know Your Customer concept (KYC),” will manage the addition of new customers, manage documents, and edit information. "If required, the application can be used in other projects too," BIST reportedly said.
In the beginning of August, Turkey establishedthe country’s first university-level blockchain center, aiming to close the blockchain expertise gap and ensure wide deployment of the technology. The center’s director Bora Erdamar said then that Turkey may have a chance to become a leading country in blockchain technology.
While in recent months Turkey has demonstrated a proactive approach to blockchain adoption, even considering the development of a national digital currency, lawmakers of the state Directorate of Religious Affairs have previously said that Bitcoin(BTC) was “not compatible” with Islam.
Despite the government’s position, cryptocurrency exchanges in Turkey reportedly enjoy the support of most banks, making it easier for new traders to start buying and selling cryptocurrencies.
Interest in cryptocurrency has grown in the country following a nosedive of the national currency, the Turkish lira. In mid-August, local exchanges saw trade volumes spike by as much as 150 percent, as traders tried to protect their fiat savings from devaluation by pouring it into Bitcoin.

🔜 Mobu (MOBU)
Mobu is a decentralised platform and end-to-end solution for launching compliant security tokens - "The Future of Security tokens".
The 80 Trillion dollar big securities market is coming to the blockchain. But there are still plenty of problems which occur when launching a security token. One of the main problems which arise when planning on launching a security token is the fact that it is a legal, regulatory and technical nightmare launching one. Furthermore, until now there is also no trusted competitive environment for ICO service providers to ensure lower pricing and better quality.
Those problems MOBU aims to solve.
MOBU is an ecosystem/marketplace that implements a unique MOB20 standard protocol to ensure compliant security tokens and similar to how the HTTP protocol defined the internet, the MOB20 protocol aims to define a set of commands that a compliant security token should implement!
Mobu uses the blockchain technology to create a set of rules that govern the issuance of security tokens while programming them into smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. This way they are transparent and immutable. And they decide on security tokens due to the lower fees, the more complex versions of dividend policies and voting rights, the possibility to execute deals faster and succeed cross-border funding within a larger investor base, as well as suffering fewer manipulations by financial institutions.
In the Mobu ecosystem the token issuers(real future companies on MOBU) post bounties to get service providers, Developers earn MOBU tokens for creating smart contracts, KYC providers pay MOBU tokens to join the network/ecosystem, Investors pay MOBU tokens for KYC process, legal representatives and escrow providers earn MOBU tokens for offering services. Mobu additionally will steel bank partnerships to ensure FIAT can easily be converted to crypto all around the world and MOBU tokens can be earned worldwide. Furthermore, Lockup utility will ensure scarcity of MOBU tokens!
The Pre-ICO with up to 25% bonus will start on 1st of September, you can already put yourself on the interest list on their website by clicking "Register Your Interest" and filling out your data.

🌐This Friday Coinbase will be launching GBP: ETC/ETH/LTC/BCH trading pairs to support UK banks.
Previously british users had to deposit fiat into an account in Estonia and endure excessive fees and commissions since it was then converted to Euros on the trading platform.
💡As per official statement: With support for UK domestic bank transfers in GBP via the Faster Payments Scheme, it is now significantly easier, faster and cheaper for UK customers to trade cryptocurrencies on the Coinbase platform. Coinbase Pro is the only major digital currency trading platform that supports UK Faster Payments and it’s our goal to be the trading platform of choice for UK crypto traders.
There will be three stages to the launch to ensure a smooth rollout and adoption:
💎Post only. In the first stage, customers can post limit orders but there will be no matches (completed orders). Order books will be in post-only mode for a minimum of 10 minutes.
💎Limit-only. In the second stage, limit orders will start matching but customers are unable to submit market orders. Order books will be in limit-only mode for a minimum of 10 minutes.
💎Full trading. In the final stage, full trading services will be available, including limit, market, and stop orders.

💠Ripio startup, that raised $37 million in an initial coin offering last year to build the Ripio Credit Network, announced a launch of p2p platform, which is based on the Ethereum smart contracts and provides microloans to its users.
👥The service is now available for more than 200,000 cryptocurrency wallets owners from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico.
💰At the moment, the number of creditors already exceeds 3,000 people. The company issues loans for up to $730, though so far the average loan size is $146.
💳Unlike most crypto exchanges, Ripio allows people to use their service without having any credit history. This is very important in the Latin American market, where a large part of the population has rather complicated relationships with financial institutions.
📟To standardize the records of issued loans, Ripio developed its own model of user identification based on claims (for example, Joe made all payments on his loan to the car in a timely manner), which operates on the basis of the Ethereum protocol.
🗣Sebastian Serrano, the CEO:It gives the user credit history. Even if the marketplace disappears the code will continue to execute.
🎢Next year the startup plans to enter the markets of Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. Also, Ripio signed a partnership with a large electronic platform Mercado Libre. Serrano said that Mercado Libre provides 15% of the company's volume of transactions.

📟🐜It became known that AntPool, one of the largest mining pools, used AsicBoost algorithm for the production of the bitcoin block # 540032.
This is evidenced by the data of Asicboost.dance, a resource that shows the blocks obtained with this technology.
Algorithm optimization protocol AsicBoost allows you to find blocks about 20% faster than other miners by reducing some of the mathematical operations.
Last week about 4% of the blocks in the main bitcoin network were produced using AsicBoost. In this case, as the Asicboost.dance data show, this technology is resorted to such large pools as F2pool, Slushpool and BitClub.
Earlier, the crypto community repeatedly accused Bitmain and the companies under its control in using AsicBoost, but the Chinese company categorically denied it.
Reportedly, AntPool owns 13.3% of the aggregate hash of the bitcoin network.

Crypto ATM market to skyrocket in next five years – research report
The cryptocurrency automated teller machine (ATM) market is expected to grow nearly tenfold over the next five years, according to a report by ResearchandMarkets.
According to the 94-page research paper, the crypto ATM market will post a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 54.7%, rising in value from $16.3 million in 2018 to $144.5 million in 2023.
“Growing fund transfers in developing countries, fluctuating monetary regulations, and increasing installations of crypto ATMs in restaurants, bars, general stores, and gas stations are the factors driving the growth of the crypto ATM market,” ResearchandMarkets said.
The analysts noted the growing demand for two-way ATMs, where users can buy and sell cryptocurrencies. The rising popularity of these machines is fueled by their multifunctionality features, ResearchandMarkets added.
According to Coin ATM Radar, one-way ATMs currently dominate the market, accounting for about 62.5% of all existing machines. Most of the crypto ATMs are located in the US.
ResearchandMarkets expects the North American region to maintain its leading position due to its favorable investment environment and increasing rate of crypto adoption, as well as the large number of crypto ATM hardware and software providers operating in Canada and the US. Other countries, including Germany and Japan, are also seen expanding their crypto ATM capabilities.
The analysts also outlined factors that may hinder the growth of the crypto ATM market in some regions:
“Uncertain regulatory status of cryptocurrencies, and lack of awareness and technical understanding regarding cryptocurrencies restrict the market growth for crypto ATM manufacturers and operators. Further, concern regarding security and privacy is expected to pose a challenge to the market players.”
While the report does not cite security as a concern, Bitcoin (BTC) ATM malware has reportedly been sold on the dark web for $25,000. The malware comes with a ready-to-use card with EMV/NFC capabilities, cybersecurity firm Trend Micro revealed in August.
More recently, Russian police officers seized more than 20 cryptocurrency ATMs, owned and operated by a company called BBFpro. The reason for the appropriation remains unknown, but BBFpro said the authorities wanted to know the working system used in the ATMs and how the company operates these machines.

Crypto exchange Kraken, currently ranked 11th largest globally by daily trade volumes, has denied rumors that it is laying off staff in its unit in Halifax, Canada, Finance Magnates reports September 6.
The denial comes after a post to a local discussion thread on reddit alleged that Kraken’s “unit 102 at 60 Highfield park drive” had laid off “hundreds of people…after making them sign voluntary quit forms,” further claiming that a “giant commotion” had erupted in response to an alleged security breach. After making the claim, the redditor in question asked thread contributors, “was anyone here one of those people?”

Two long-term possibilities:
1. All cryptos go to zero.
2. BCH goes to one million USD per coin and all other cryptos go to zero.
Only BCH has economics that work long-term. But even BCH will fail without massive growth.
Adoption trumps everything.

Asia’s first cryptocurrency Visa Debit Card set to launch in Singapore
Hong Kong-based blockchain start-up named Crypto.com is set to launch Asia’s first cryptocurrency enabled Visa debit card. Per a report on South China Morning Post on September 5, 2018, the firm has applied for a license and plans to issue 100,000 cards globally over the next two months, starting with Singapore.
The debit card will be linked to fiat and crypto wallets supporting BTC, ETH, LTC, MCO and BNB in addition to seven fiat currencies including USD, Singapore dollar and Hong Kong dollar.
Disrupting the Existing Mechanism
According to the report, the firm has already been granted the stored-value facility licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). It is understood that the Visa crypto cards will be issued in partnership with Wirecard Bank from Germany.
With an aim to become a crypto-based money-lending enterprise in the future, Crypto.com is also planning to apply for money lending licenses in Singapore and Hong Kong. This move is seen as a catalyst for the company to transition it from a debit card issuing fintech firm to a digital asset-backed money-lending company.
The firm has ambitions of disrupting the credit card industry claiming that banks have been unethical in issuing an unsecured revolving credit to consumers who can barely afford their interest rates.
Kris Marszalek, co-founder, and CEO of Crypto.com stated, “The credit card business model is one that is bordering on unethical business, as banks make a big chunk of profit from people who cannot afford late fees. These people should not be given a credit card in the first place.”
Regulations to Negate the Risk
About possibilities of credit risk from its borrowers, Crypto.com CEO said that customers would only be able to borrow fiat currency up to 40-60 percent of the value of cryptocurrencies they must pledge to the company as collateral.
Credit history will not be checked for the crypto debit card application, but KYC procedures will be carried out. Crypto.com will bear the volatility risks with bitcoin and altcoins.
The concept of cryptocurrency enabled debit cards is not a new idea by any sorts. BTCManagerreported on March 14, 2018, about Wirex launching its own global multi-currency debit card to enable seamless crypto transactions and provide the much-needed liquidity to digital currencies such as bitcoin.

✅Robinhood, the mobile app for crypto trading, is looking for a new CFO, and plans to conduct an initial public offer (IPO).
CEO of the start-up Baiju Bhatt noted that his team "is now actively engaged in the search for CFOs". In addition, Robinhood plans to become a public company.
🗣Obtaining the status of a public company, I believe, very closely matches our mission. And this, of course, on the horizon, and not in the short term. However, we are thinking about this.
Also, Bhatt stressed that his company is a financial services provider in the US, which means that Robinhood's security measures comply with the requirements of regulators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

One Billion Dollars Worth of Bitcoin on the Move, $100 Million Sent to Exchanges
very old bitcoin address, which did not move its coins since it was funded on the 2nd of July 2011 until March 2014, has been chopping 111,114 into smaller and smaller pieces for obfuscation over the past four years, with 15,593 (~$109 million) recently ending up on Bitfinex, Binance, and 210 in Bitmex according to an unverified analysis.
The address in question has been subject to much speculation not least because one transaction with a very small amount of bitcoin was linked to the former bitcoin drug bazar, Silkroad.
The address, moreover, appears to have begun its life around June 2011, a time when an MT Gox hack led to a flash crash of bitcoin’s price. Some therefore speculate these might be Gox’s or Jed McCaleb’s, the previous owner of Mt Gox. Both deny.
The name of the address is by itself very interesting. It looks like a vanity address, although it could be quite a coincidence because it starts with 1933.
In 1933, the then US President Franklin Roosevelt made an executive order confiscating gold. Satoshi Nakamoto referred to that event by self-declaring his birthday as April 5th 1975, the day when the above order came to an end.

The address, moreover, appears to have begun its life around June 2011, a time when an MT Gox hack led to a flash crash of bitcoin’s price. Some therefore speculate these might be Gox’s or Jed McCaleb’s, the previous owner of Mt Gox. Both deny.
The name of the address is by itself very interesting. It looks like a vanity address, although it could be quite a coincidence because it starts with 1933.
In 1933, the then US President Franklin Roosevelt made an executive order confiscating gold. Satoshi Nakamoto referred to that event by self-declaring his birthday as April 5th 1975, the day when the above order came to an end.

💥Bitcoin is traded at $26.000 on the Iranian local cryptocurrency exchange EXIR. Most probably, such overhyped price surge happened due to recent news on Iran’s recognition of mining.
Plus, political and economic crisis in the country encouraged citizens to turn to using cryptocurrencies.
On the chart below you can see that since the beginning of the year the Iranian rial has devalued several times against the US dollar.
In this case, compared to its December highs, the price of the first cryptocurrency decreased only by almost 70%.
Analysts at The Next Web noted a correlation between the decision of state regulators and the price of bitcoin on the local exchange. They noted that despite the global market, the price of bitcoin can vary greatly on different trading floors.

Ripple's General Counsel Exits Startup, Spokesperson Says
Ripple general counsel Brynly Llyr has exited the blockchain payments startup, a spokesperson told CoinDesk on Friday.
Llyr joined the company in 2016 as its top legal officer, remaining a part of the team for two and half years. While no reason was provided for her departure, a Ripple spokesperson told CoinDesk that her leaving was a mutual decision between her and the firm. Quartz first reported the news.
The spokesperson added in a statement:
We're grateful to all that she did to help build an incredible team that will continue the work they've been focused on for the past year and beyond. We wish Brynly all the best in her next endeavor and the team here at Ripple looks forward to the next chapter where we will continue to pave the way in this ever-evolving and unchartered industry.
Prior to joining the firm, she advised fintech companies ... [and] led litigation teams and partnered on matters including commercial deals, [mergers and acquisitions] and [intellectual property] protection with PayPal and eBay, according to her company biography.
The news comes as Ripple prepares to fight multiple class-action lawsuits claiming the XRP token is a security distributed by the company.
As previously reported by CoinDesk, a number of investors have sued the company, claiming Ripple bears some responsibility for the drop in XRP's price over the last year. To help defend it, Ripple has brought in some legal heavyweights, including former SEC chair Mary Jo White.
The company has already won a number of procedural victories, with one district court-level case being voluntarily dismissed and two superior (lower) court-level cases being consolidated late last week.
However, the company has yet to have a hearing or trial on the underlying claims for any of the suits.

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.

📑Huobi Group and the training center in Singapore will open training courses on the blockchain
Huobi Group has announced partnership with the training center of the National Congress of Trade Unions of Singapore (NTUC), organize training courses for the promotion of blockchain technology.
The purpose of the cooperation is to acquaint people with the basics of financial technologies, in particular, with the basic principles of Bitcoin and block-work, which will be useful in the future for the practical use of crypto-currency.
The research data show that about half of the top 50 universities in the world offer courses on the topics of crypto currency and blockchain. Their number is constantly increasing as the interest of students increases, despite the current decline in the crypto-currency industry

The Los Angeles Dodgers, a U.S. professional baseball team, will hold a giveaway of crypto-based athlete tokens at the end of this month, according to an official press release on Dodger Insider September 7.
The statement reports that Dodger fans will be able to get tokens — representing Dodgers players — convertible to Ethereum (ETH) during the game against the San Diego Padres scheduled on September 21.
During the so-called “Digital Bobblehead Night,” guests will be able to download tokens of such athletes as pitcher Clayton Kershaw, third baseman Justin Turner, and Curaçaoan pitcher Kenley Jansen.
As the statement explains, the tokens will be distributed according to the point of entry, with first 40,000 ticketed fans in attendance reportedly set to receive a card with a unique code that can be unblocked and transferred to an Ethereum wallet. The character crypto tokens will be selected randomly, with approximately equal share of Kershaw, Turner, and Jansen codes.
Dodgers’ CMO and Executive Vice President Lon Rosen commented that the “first-ever crypto giveaway” in sports will allow them to “explore an entirely new marketplace with our fanbase,” as well as to “pique interest” of Dodger fans and “launch a new age of digital collectibles and promotions.”
Earlier this summer, the Sacramento Kings basketball team partnered with crypto mining supplier MiningStore to install Ethereum mining hardware in an indoor arena in order to pass crypto earnings to a scholarship program.
In early June, the world’s largest crypto exchange, Binance, made an undisclosed investment into blockchain-based esports voting platform chiliZ, so as to provide the sports industry with a “fan-driven token ecosystem for traditional sports teams.”

Uzbekistan Opens Door to Cryptocurrency Exchanges, Offers Tax Benefits
In efforts to boost its market-based economy, the government of Uzbekistan has decided to take initiatives favorable to the growing cryptocurrency industry.
Uzbekistan Goes Fishing for Bitcoin Exchanges
The former Soviet nation confirmed that it is legalizing cryptocurrency exchanges and will allow blockchain companies to set up their offices in the state. The legalization came in the wake of a presidential decree that was signed to encourage the use of cryptocurrency and blockchain in Uzbekistan.
A document published at the behest of the president of the Republic of Uzbekistan, titled “On measures to organize the activities of crypto-exchanges in Uzbekistan,” revealed a set of official definitions for bitcoin-like cryptocurrencies. The state has confirmed that it will not treat cryptocurrencies like securities. Therefore, the laws that are common to security exchanges will not bother cryptocurrency exchanges.
Instead, the crypto trading businesses will come under a new set of rules, referred to as special normative acts.
Only foreign legal entities which already have a subsidiary or other enterprises in Uzbekistan will be able to open cryptocurrency exchanges. These entities will not be liable to pay taxes on their cryptocurrency turnovers. That said, any revenue derived in cryptocurrency will be untaxable, considering Uzbekistan will define cryptoassets as a set of data records on blockchain — which they indeed are — that has value and owner, according to the text.
Terms and Conditions Applied
The free perks won’t be precisely free because the Uzbekistani government has also imposed special conditions to setup crypto exchanges.
Firstly, the foreign entities must have an authorized capital to support as much as 30,000 minimum wages on the day they apply. Moreover, an equivalent of 20,000 minimum wages will have to be reserved in a state-backed commercial bank. The minimum monthly salary in Uzbekistan was close to $185 in FY2017.
Secondly, the state requires the crypto-exchanges to base their servers in Uzbekistan.
Thirdly, Uzbekistan willrequire the exchanges to adhere to rules for trading and publishing exchanges rates based on a demand-and-supply ratio.
Finally, the exchanges must store information on transactions, users identification, and other KYC/AML-based data for five years.
Crypto Mining Industry Also Gets a Share
The presidential decree also legalizes cryptocurrency mining in Uzbekistan and has ordered state-controlled energy companies to allocate lands for mining operations. The bitcoin mining companies will be utilizing over 100 KW/h of electricity on locations designated by the National Project Management Agency, a body governed by the President’s office itself.
