​​🏛The Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong has published rules for cryptocurrency funds.

The regulator also said that it will probably control trading platforms.

According to the new requirements, fund managers, whose portfolio contains more than 10% of assets in a cryptocurrency, must obtain a license from the SFC.

Crypto platforms that serve only professional investors can join the experimental sandbox. In it, companies will be able to conduct experiments in the field of countering money laundering on their sites in order to prove to the regulator their competence in this matter.

It is noted that companies are entitled to apply for a license if they successfully pass the test in the sandbox.

In addition, the new rules prohibit industry participants to provide customers with any financial incentives or offer them to trade in cryptocurrency futures or derivatives.
​​🔶Bithumb and seriesOne will launch an exchange for security tokens trading in the USA.

It is expected that the new exchange will be launched in the first half of 2019. Under the agreement, Bithumb will provide investments and the necessary technical support.

SeriesOne was founded in 2013 and is authorized by the United States Stock Exchanges and Securities Commission to conduct crowdfunding campaigns.
💦 ZERO CARBON - TACKLING CLIMATE CHANGE USING BLOCKCHAIN

The Zero Carbon Project is tackling climate change using the blockchain and international carbon credits.
Renewable energy has responded well to the climate change challenge, with impressive cost reductions achieved. However, we are concerned that renewables remain too expensive and so the impact on carbon emissions is slow.

Innovative solution
The Zero Carbon Project has 2 parts:
1. deliver energy at a lower price than existing renewable and fossil fuel energy contracts; and
2. to entice people to use the Zero Carbon Project, provide a blockchain-driven incentive scheme to reward consumers for engaging with the Zero Carbon Project and encourage consumer action.
The first part of our solution consists of a competitive ‘Zero Carbon Market’ which provides consumers access to cheaper energy contracts where the carbon emissions have been offset by international carbon credits.
Secondly, our blockchain economy is based on Energis tokens that have been designed to capture the future value that customers receive form our Market. This is enabled using the distributed ledger, Ethereum smart contracts and crypto exchanges.
Energis tokens are underpinned by concrete value as energy suppliers must use them to pay their transaction fees for using our Market. Therefore, as our consumer base grows, the demand for Energis tokens increases, constrained by a fixed supply.
We intend that up to 70% of the transaction fees received by the Zero Carbon Project will be ‘recycled’ and provided to consumers as rewards for engaging with the Zero Carbon Project. Energy suppliers and consumers (“Customers”) can sell Energis tokens to other customers, including energy suppliers who purchase them to pay transaction fees. This is the Energis economic cycle.

Progress achieved to date
We have been actively building the Zero Carbon Market over the last year. This includes building the Project team, completing the systems, designing the Energis smart contracts and registering energy suppliers in the UK. Our UK Market is now complete and ready for launch in October 2018. This will be followed by a global roll out in 2019.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin unveiled the roadmap for what he described as the “coherent whole” Ethereum 2.0 in a keynote presentation at the Devcon4 conference in Prague Oct. 31.
Dubbed ‘Serenity,’ the project encompasses multiple projects Ethereum developers have been working on since 2014.

“Ethereum 2.0 is [...] a combination of a bunch of different features that we’ve been talking about for several years, researching for several years, actively building for several years that are finally about to come together in one cohesive whole,” Buterin summarized during his talk.
​​1. I am not leaving. No plans to stop or reduce blog posts / ethresearch posts / github commits.
2. Vitalik is "in charge": ETH is centralized! Vitalik is not "in charge": Vitalik is pulling a Dan Larimer! This is why BTC maximalists have zero credibility.


🗣Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum founder.
​​🔰On November 1, a hardfork was successfully implemented on the Sia's network on the block number 178,999. The consensus algorithm was changed and the possibility of mining was blocked for Bitmain’ and Innosilicon' ASICs.

After 179,000 block, the network’s complexity dropped by about 98%, which allowed miners to find new blocks approximately every 10 minutes. The number of miners themselves at the same time significantly decreased.

Bitmain introduced in January AntMiner A3, designed specifically for Siacoin mining. Also support for this cryptocurrency has been added to AntPool.

The idea to limit the possibility of mining on third-party devices, however, was not understood by all members of the community, some of whom wondered how this solution meets the principles of decentralization.

However, according to David Vorik, the CEO of Nebulous project, such actions are justified: Despite the fact that there was no direct attack on the algorithm of consensus, a significant part of the community regarded the secret development of ASIC devices as an attack. It also looked risky that one farm owned 45% of the entire hashrate.

For miners who did not wish to support hardfork, the Sia developers released an alternative update version 1.3.5.
​​🔬The Center for the Development of the Information Technology Industry of China published the ratings of 33 cryptocurrencies.

EOS leads the list, and Bitcoin is taking just 19th place, but in a company with Ethereum, EOS, Nuls and Cardano,it became the leader in the “innovation” category.

The second and third place belongs to Ethereum and Bitshares. Nebulas and NEO are closing the top 5 cryptocurrencies.

The sixth place in the new ranking analysts gave to Ripple.

Ethereum, Neo, Nebulas, Qtum and Dash were the best in the “use” category. It is reported that in compiling this list, analysts "improved the methods for evaluating developers' tools and fully studied the API, SDK, RPC, smart contracts, and other factors."

Israeli startups have brought in more than $600 million in funding from initial coin offerings (ICOs) in the first three quarters of 2018, according to an industry report.

Crypto analytics and research firm One Alpha surveyed ICOs and blockchain projects globally, from the past year, aiming to provide an overview on the status of the blockchain and ICO ecosystem, with a particular focus on Israel.

One Alpha's survey counted 140 active blockchain-related companies in Israel, which, when combined with other forms of investment, have received $1.3 billion worth of investments. "More than 60% of the companies and 88% of the funds are ICO-related," the report noted.
Taiwan plans to release draft Initial Coin Offering (ICO) regulation by June 2019, local English-language daily news outlet Taipei Times reported Tuesday, Oct. 23.

The publication quoted plans from Wellington Koo, chairman of Taiwanese finance regulator — the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) — who was speaking at a meeting of the Legislative Yuan Finance Committee.

“The more we regulate, the more this new economic behavior wanes,” he told members of the meeting on Oct. 22.

ICOs have created tension throughout international jurisdictions keen on avoiding consumer exposure to fraud. Locally, mainland China has banned the practice altogether, a move which has also been in force in South Korea since September of last year, but which may now see a reversal.
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.

The chairman of Russia’s State Duma Committee on Financial Markets has claimed that the entity is considering the launch of state-backed cryptocurrency pegged to the Russian ruble, Russian radio news station Govorit Moskva reported Friday, Nov. 2.
Speaking at a press conference on the increase of the household debt load, Chairman Anatoly Aksakov expressed his confidence that the government will back a cryptocurrency, “but it will be a ruble-pegged cryptocurrency.” The deputy clarified that the implied coin will represent a blockchain-powered stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the ruble.

Aksakov further described the model of creating the stablecoin, stating that the cryptocurrency will be backed by a banking deposit of a certain amount. After that, a banking institution is set to issue a corresponding amount of crypto assets by using blockchain technology and adhering to the 1:1 proportion.
BlackRock CEO: cryptocurrencies could become a store of wealth

A month after reports revealed that Coinbase was exploring a crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) through a collaboration with BlackRock (BLK), the firm’s CEO, Larry Fink, has come out to clarify that there is no intention to launch such a trading product at this time.
While speaking at the NYT DealBook Conference in Manhattan Thursday, Fink revealed that the firm is waiting for the digital currency market to become more “legitimate,” reciting Bitcoin’s “anonymity” as a cause of major concern.
“It will ultimately have to be backed by a government,” said Fink. “I don’t sense that any government will allow that unless they have a sense of where that money’s going for tax evasion and all of these other issues.”

​​🚫The People’s Bank of China intends to impose a ban on Airdrops.

In September 2017, Chinese government banned ICOs and crypto exchanges, but people found out another way how to invest in such projects. Crypto firms just moved abroad and attracted agents to invest on behalf of Chinese citizens.

Other projects refuse to sell tokens, thus avoiding the direct attraction of funds, but instead distribute them free of charge. After that, the organizers of the Airdrop for the purpose of making a profit try to raise the price of tokens in the secondary market.

The regulators’ report says that until July 18, 2017, 65 ICOs were held in China. More than 105,000 people participated in the placement of tokens, and the volume of investments exceeded $ 377 million. About 20% of this amount was attracted with the help of foreign investors.

​​🕵‍♂🕵‍♀👨‍💻👮‍♂Turkish police arrested 11 people in suspicion of stealing bitcoins worth more than $80 000.

Earlier, 14 people contacted the police, stating that their Bitcoin wallets had been cracked and all the cryptocurrency that was there was withdrawn. It is assumed that a group of hackers transferred the cryptocurrency to many other accounts in order to confuse the tracks and then exchanged it for fiat.

Law enforcement agencies began an investigation into the alleged compromise of e-mail of the victims, wallets and passwords. As a result, on October 26, the Division for Combating Cybercrime, together with the Special Operations Division, detained 11 people in various parts of Istanbul.

One of the suspects was released, but left under judicial supervision, the rest were taken into custody. During the operation, the police seized 2 fake driver's licenses, 18 phones and SIM cards, 22 memory cards and other items.

It is reported that cybersecurity experts tracked some of the suspects when they entered their accounts on the stock exchanges. Others were calculated while trying to withdraw money through ATMs and at the bank branches.

When you’re two steps ahead, they call you a crackpot.

🔥 Bull Call: Novogratz says bitcoin will see record highs in 2019

Mike Novogratz, the CEO of crypto investment firm Galaxy Digital, predicts that bitcoin will break out of its 2018 doldrums and soar to $20,000 in 2019 — fueled by a spike in institutional investments.
The former Goldman Sachs investment banker says institutional “FOMO” (fear of missing out) will drive the market up over the coming months as cryptocurrency assets gain more mainstream acceptance and traditional finance players take the leap into crypto.
​​📟Binance’ Antminers S15 and T15 with 7-nm chips will be available for purchase on the 8th of November.

Thus, contrary to the expectations of many participants in the cryptoindustry, the Chinese giant did not call the new device "S11".

S15 and T15 will be designed for the extraction of cryptocurrency based on the SHA256 consensus algorithm. Information about the technical characteristics and prices of new devices is not yet presented on the Bitmain website.
