🚀 OEL Foundation
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…
Bank of America Applies for Blockchain-Based Encrypted Crypto Storage System Patent
The U.S.’s second-largest bank, Bank of America (BofA), has applied for another blockchain patent on the development of a secure crypto storage system, according to a patent document published by the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office (USPTO) August 23.
The patent, entitled “Block Chain Encryption Tags,” describes a system of recording and storing cryptocurrency-related transactions that are handled by enterprises. In short, the invention offers a system of data security for blockchain networks by implementing encryption and linking data units to the blocks of a certain blockchain.
In the patent document filed on April 18, 2018, the North Carolina-based bank introduced a system that includes a device with a processor that first receives a set of data elements, and then acquires an encryption key prior to encrypting the elements within the first block on a blockchain.
The device further combines the encryption key with the generated encrypted element map in order to create and then encrypt the “creator tag,” which is then further embedded and published within the first block of the blockchain

One of the largest law enforcement agencies in the U.S., Customs and Border Protection (CBP), will launch a live test of a blockchain-based shipment tracking system.
In the upcoming test, the CBP will reportedly combine two separate systems: the CPB’s legacy application and a blockchain-powered platform developed by the agency’s parent body — and the country’s primary border control organization — the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The test results will determine how the distributed ledger technology (DLT) is able to enhance the verification process of certificates of origin from the partners of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Central America Free Trade Agreement, as well as reduce the time-consuming procedure of the resubmission of shipping data.
While testing, the agency also intends to establish standards of interaction between different blockchains in order to ensure that all firms and software will be easily connected to customs without the need for additional customization.

Singapore's stock exchange is working with the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the city-state's de facto central bank, to utilize blockchain in a bid to improve the efficiency of securities settlements.
The Singapore Exchange (SGX) said in a release on Friday that the collaboration is aimed at scaling up the country's Delivery versus Payment (DvP) capacity so that it's able to automate transactions via blockchain-based smart contracts. DvP is a settlement process that ensures assets are transacted only when corresponding payments are received.
Lending technological support is a list of well-known firms like Nasdaq and professional services firm Deloitte, as well as blockchain startup Anquan, according to the announcement.
The goal is to develop a distributed network where financial institutions and investors can transact securities that have been converted into digital tokens through different blockchain platforms.
The partners said the technology will be engineered based on the open source code resulting from the latest development of Project Ubin, which the MAS initialed in 2016 test out settling interbank transactions via distributed ledger technology.

🔜 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.

Chinese mobile payment platforms WeChat Pay and Alipay are scrambling to keep up with regulators after recent announcements regarding initial coin offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrencies.
Both payment giants have said that they will work with the government agencies closely to monitor cryptocurrency transactions, according to news releases on August 24.
As CoinDesk reported on Friday, five high-level regulatory agencies in China – including the People's Bank of China and the Banking Regulatory Commission – issued a warning against any cryptocurrency-related fundraising and trading activities.
In a release published by Tencent, the parent company of WeChat Pay, not long after the news came out, the company said that it has come up with three main measures to regulate any "problematic" platforms related to ICOs and cryptocurrencies.
Specifically, the tech giant said that it will prohibit users from using WeChat payments to make any virtual currency-related transactions. Moreover, it will conduct both real-time monitoring of daily transactions and risk assessment of any suspicious transactions.

Anthony Pomppliano believes that bitcoin can fall to $ 3000
Founder and partner of Morgan Greek Digital Assets Anthony Pompliano expects that the Bitcoin rate will continue to decline to $ 3,000 in the short term. Also in his blog, he writes that his forecast of $ 50,000 for bitcoin before the end of the year outstripped the events for at least 4 years. He analyzed the price of bitcoin for the whole period and came to the conclusion that the first cryptocurrency is updating its highs with an increasing amount of time. For example, the growth of the period 2011-2013 took 900 days, and the period 2013-2017 took 1500 days.

Bank of America files patent for cryptocurrency custody system
Bank of America, the second largest banking institution in the United States, has filed with the United States Patent and Trademarks Office for a system designed to provide a secure means through which cryptocurrencies can be stored.
The patent, titled “Block Chain Encryption Tags,” describes “A system that includes a device with a processor is configured to receive a first set of data elements and to obtain an encryption key from a memory.”
“The processor is further configured to encrypt the first set of data elements using the encryption key, to embed the first set of encrypted data elements within a first block for the block chain, and to generate a first encrypted element map identifying the locations of the first set of encrypted data elements within the first block. The processor is further configured to combine the encryption key with the first encrypted element map to generate a creator tag, to encrypt the creator tag, to embed the creator tag within the first block, and to publish the first block to a block chain,” the patent reads.
Patent Filing Comprises “Reproduction” of 2014 Filing
The document states that Bank of America’s filing comprises a reproduction of a non-provisional application made in 2014 by James G. Ronca, titled “Cryptocurrency Online Vault Storage System”, stating that Mr. Ronca’s filing is “incorporated by reference as if reproduced in its entirety” and that “the present application is a continuation-in-part which claims priority” over the 2014 filing.
Bank of America emphasizes the growth of adoption among enterprises and corporations, concluding that such will “desire to store cryptocurrencies safely.”

The CEO of 50Cycles, the company that produces electric bicycles which you can pay for with crypto, has stated that his personal and corporate accounts were blocked by the HSBC and Barclays banks once he tried to exchange his bitcoins for fiat through the LocalBitcoins website.
As he claimed the transaction was totally transparent and sent with the help of escrow service.
🗣According to Scott Sneet:There was no illegal activity on my part, but when you mention the word "bitcoin", it was enough to instantly block my accounts. The senior fraud consultant dismissed my complaint, leaving me with no choice but to appeal to the financial ombudsman.
He added:I am a professional business owner who enjoys the benefits of new financial technologies, and banks, apparently, do not keep pace with the habits of their clients. Banks deliberately create obstacles and abuse their authority.
Later on HSBC resumed the service of the victim's account after the complaint.

👾The EOS network has a bug that allows attackers to gain access to user’s data without any authorization.
The scammer installs on his account a code that allows you to insert the lines in the name of another account in EOS from where the token is sent.
The developer, Cesar Rodriguez, who works to remove the bug, added that it is possible to become a victim of a vulnerability only if the user has performed the transaction on a malicious address. The beneficiaries of the transfer are not subject to attack.
The stolen RAM assets are blocked for the user, which makes it unavailable to transfer them to another account, as well as to sell or return to the owner.
In order not to fall for the bait of malicious users, EOS developers suggested using proxy servers.
For now users need to edit the code themselves before the team fixes the bug.

🔜 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.

Russian air carrier S7 Airlines has partnered with state-owned oil giant Gazprom Neft to use blockchain-based smart contracts for aircraft fuelling, a press release confirmed Friday, August 24.
S7, which has developed several blockchain use cases in the past two years, will now use the technology to increase efficiency of fuel delivery and payment, as well as in the refuelling process at airports.
The partnership features Gazprom Neft’s dedicated aviation refuelling subsidiary Gazpromneft-Aero.
“Using blockchain technologies in reciprocal accounting and settlements between aviation companies and fuel operators gives new impetus to the development of the entire aviation industry,” Gazpromneft-Aero CEO Vladimir Egorov commented.
