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.

🔥 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.

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.

🛠🔑BTCC mining center will shut down its pool.
💡As our business policy changes, we will shut down all the mining servers on November 15 and stop our work from November 30 for an indefinite period. In order to avoid losses, we ask the miners to switch their capacities [to another pool] before November 15 and attach the addresses of the wallets until November 20.
BTCC launched a pool in 2014, along with the Mobi wallet.
In August 24, 2017, BTCC Pool found the block on which the SegWit protocol was activated. In June of this year, Hong Kong financial company Value Convergence announced its intention to acquire a 49% stake in the pool.

Bitcoin Price Chart May Give Early Warning of Next Bull Reversal
That bitcoin (BTC) has likely found a bottom around $6,000 is now generally accepted, so the challenge for investors and traders is to spot the early signs of a long-awaited bullish reversal.
Basic technical theory suggests that a bearish-to-bullish trend change is confirmed after the price invalidates a "lower highs" pattern – a series of descending peaks. As such, bitcoin needs to rise above the September high of $7,400 to confirm a major bullish breakout.

💦 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.
Track-record of innovation and execution
The Zero Carbon Project is a subsidiary of Beond www.beondgroup.com which is an award-winning energy and carbon consultancy based in London. Beond is a team of 30 energy market professionals who are passionate about helping clients achieve their ambitions and also about tackling global climate change, through the application of new technologies. Our core values are integrity, innovation and quality.
Beond services over 600 energy consumers in UK including Knight Frank, Capita, The Salvation Army and Salford County Council, and has received eight awards over the last three years covering innovation, green business and consultancy services.

🔥 SEC will publish a guide for token developers. It will allow to determine whether certain coins are securities.
The guide will also spell out recommendations for tokens that are in circulation in the secondary market.
If someone offers a monetary instrument to a third party, and that person is counting on some profitability or something that will increase the value of a coin or token, we will consider it a security, commented the head of SEC.
He added that if developers have doubts about whether they are issuing a security or not, employees of the new financial hub from the SEC will help them figure it out. They will also advise on the accounting, storage and evaluation of tokens. The release time of the document is yet to be announced.

SWIFT denies partnership with Ripple
After intense speculation about a possible Ripple – Swift partnership, the rumor finally seems to be nearing its end after SWIFT categorically denied there were any conversations between the two companies.
Ripple and Swift are direct competitors in the same market, but the difference in capital and influence in the world of finance is too asymmetric to think of the feasibility of an early partnership on an equal footing.
Swift has expressed interest in upgrading its platform. Harry Newman, head of banking at SWIFT, told the Financial Times in June: “It is no secret that correspondent banking is a 1998 model and we are busy addressing that, bringing it to a 2018 model.
In addition to this, the SWIFT team had initiated a series of tests with blockchain technologies, which reportedly came out “extremely well.”
However, it is very likely that if the SWIFT team were to adopt (even experimentally) the use of blockchain technologies, they would feel more comfortable with their own network than using a third party’s technology.
