Canada Pushes to Regulate Crypto Adoption, Forgoing Volatile BTC Past

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 31, 2019 by adminOctober 31, 2019

Canada’s volatile history of mainstream adoption and fraud is directly impacting the future of cryptocurrency in the country.

Recently, Canada’s central bank has been leading working groups with global partners exploring a blockchain future. Their crypto presence has soared with Ernst & Young’s announcement that it is using Toronto to test its public government expenditure blockchain. But what is the cryptocurrency landscape currently like in Canada? 

The history of crypto in Canada may seem as volatile as a token with a small market cap, yet mainstream use and adoption have been on a consistent incline since 2013, when Canadians started pushing mainstream adoption. Now, the Canadian government is leading working groups. What else has the country been up to in the blockchain space?

The first thing that comes to everyone’s mind when it comes to the Great White North is that the founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, grew up in Canada — but Etherum isn’t all the country has provided to the crypto space. Here are some more notable stories from Canada’s blockchain history.

Timeline of blockchain adoption in Canada

The world’s first Bitcoin ATMs

Canada contributed to Bitcoin’s (BTC) mainstream use early on by opening the world’s first Bitcoin ATM at a coffee shop in Vancouver in 2013. The ATMs were released by Bitcoiniacs and Robocoin. Bitcoin was trading at around $200 at the time and, during the first day, the kiosk performed 81 Bitcoin transactions equaling around 81 BTC.

The ATM is considered a strong driver for attracting new people to cryptocurrency, with around a third of its users new to Bitcoin. In an interview with Cointelegraph back in 2013, Robocoin CEO Jordan Kelley marveled at how easy it was for people to get started with Bitcoin. According to industry monitor CoinATMRadar, there are at least 715 cryptocurrency ATMs in Canada, with 85 in Vancouver and 227 in Toronto. 

Operation Cryptosweep

It is easy to agree that the initial coin offerings (ICOs) craze produced more losers than winners, as many took advantage of the hyped-up funding method to conduct scams. In response, state and provincial securities regulators in the United States and Canada launched probes into potentially fraudulent crypto investment programs as part of the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Operation Cryptosweep in 2018. The initiative is reportedly the largest coordinated investigation held by state and provincial officials targeting suspicious crypto investment products, and has resulted in over 200 investigations of ICOs and crypto-related investment products.

Operation Cryptosweep has issued at least 77 actions against crypto programs, including the infamous BitConnect, which has gone down in history as one of the largest cryptocurrency scams.

Vancouver mayor suggests a ban on Bitcoin ATMs

The mayor of Vancouver, Kennedy Stewart, suggested a complete ban on Bitcoin ATMs in the summer of 2019 due to Anti-Money Laundering (AML) issues associated with the ATMs. The associated police report claims that criminals could purchase a Bitcoin ATM for their own needs for a few thousand dollars, and then deposit their cash into that ATM “as many times as required” to profit from or eliminate the transaction fees.

While many Canadian governing bodies have already taken steps against cryptocurrency, British Columbia’s review into the alleged money laundering activities is ongoing. Canada saw the amount of money laundering claims triple last year to 2,466 claims. 

Money laundering claims reviewed in Canada

When speaking to Cointelegraph, Andrey Peshkov, the CEO of money transfer app USDX Wallet, dismissed the concerns surrounding money laundering using cryptocurrency in Canada, remarking:

“I do not think that cryptocurrency holders try to laundering money in Canada because they are obligated to pay taxes. Many countries do not require holders to pay taxes from their crypto income making them more attractive to bad actors.”

Flexa and Coinsquare integrate physical retail payments for Canada 

However, not all news surrounding Canada recently has been negative.The Winklevoss-backed cryptocurrency payments service Flexa, which allows merchants such as TopGolf to accept cryptocurrency, has seen strong acceptance around the country.

Current estimates show that over 7,500 businesses have signed up on the platform to offer crypto payments to their customers, indicating that business owners in Canada see a need to provide payment solutions in crypto. 

Canada audits QuadrigaCX exchange

A review of Canada in cryptocurrency would not be complete without talking about QuadrigaCX, a defunct Canada-based exchange. The company began grabbing headlines ever since its CEO Gerald Cotten was declared dead in India without ever having revealed the keys to access the company’s cryptocurrency reserves. When these reserves were discovered inaccessible, the business became insolvent, declaring bankruptcy.

The Canadian company’s bankruptcy trustee was Ernst & Young, a Big Four accounting agency. A bankruptcy trustee oversees the exchange’s insolvency proceedings focusing on auditing from a tax and creditor perspective.

Recently, the widow of QuadrigaCX Founder Gerald Cotten, Jennifer Robertson, paid $9 million in assets to the users of QuadrigaCX through EY. Robertson wrote in a personal statement, “The vast majority of my assets and all of the Estate’s assets are being returned to QCX to benefit the affected users.”

While the widow may not have been aware of her husband’s alleged malfeasance, what happened suggests that Canada is determined to rid cryptocurrency of fraud to protect both investors and holders. According to EY, Robertson’s late husband created fake accounts under several pseudonyms and used them to trade users’ money on the QuadrigaCX platform to show artificial income. The auditor also said that much of the funds were eventually transferred to personal accounts that he controlled. 

High-paying employment in Blockchain Consensus report

The Blockchain Consensus report was released on Oct. 4, 2019 by the Chamber of Digital Commerce Canada, exploring the blockchain ecosystem in Canada. The report takes a closer look at Canada’s blockchain ecosystem, breaking down insight by region and company size. The report also states that government commitment is desperately needed to move this highly innovative technology sector forward by providing legal clarity.

Further, the report includes statistics that highlight the average annual blockchain salary in Canada sitting at more than $98,000 Canadian dollars, making blockchain careers among the highest-paying in the country. The CEO of Shortex, Vladimir Prosvirkin, remarked on this report to Cointelegraph:

“Canada is one of the leading countries adopting blockchain technology on a corporate level. Every second company is invested in blockchain somehow last year. Due to the country’s low energy cost, high internet speeds, and favorable regulations, blockchain and cryptocurrency industries have always prospered here.”

Piloting government spending tracking in Toronto

In an effort to increase transparency, EY started tracking how public funds are spent in the capital city of Toronto. As reported by Cointelegraph on Oct. 16, the system can track the government’s public funds as they move through different state agencies, providing transparency to the public. 

According to EY, data provided by the platform can potentially be used to better inform future decision making on policies. Upon the pilot program’s launch, EY issued a statement, “Blockchain technology can positively impact processes from tax collection to open data to public spending.” A Bitcoin-conscious and highly functioning city like Toronto may benefit from greater transparency in government spending and provide an important use case. 

G-7 working group on stablecoins

On Oct. 13, 2019, the Bank of Canada released results from the G-7 working group on stablecoins that was tasked with “investigating the impact of global stablecoins” as a whole. While much has been written about the strong language in the report, such as “Stablecoins pose a threat to financial security,” it also outlines ways in which governments and digital securities can work together. Participants included the Bank of England, the Bank of Canada, the Bank of France, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Italy, the Bank of Japan and the United States Department of Treasury.

On the eve of the G-7 working group, Anthony Pompliano, co-founder and partner at Morgan Creek Digital, noted that it has taken only a decade from Bitcoin’s creation for the “decentralized digital currency to go from basically the fringes of the internet to now being discussed at the G-7 and other regulatory offices.”

Challenges lie ahead for stablecoins

The report goes on to outline the challenges that stablecoins need to overcome in order for them to remain in compliance. Focusing on private stablecoins, the report highlights that stablecoins, regardless of size, pose some major risks such as regulatory, security, and those relating to financial reporting and misconduct. 

Further, the paper addresses challenges and risks that globally adopted stablecoins like Tether (USDT) pose to monetary policy, financial stability, the international monetary system and fair competition. Jude Regev, the founder of Element Zero, an open-source network that provides branded stablecoins and a fee-free on-chain SmartSwap, noted to Cointelegraph:

“Private stablecoins will need to be more similar to a shield that protects purchasing power and provides security against hacking. When Central Bank’s like Canada issue their own digital currencies and other countries do the same, being able to create stable interoperability between each countries’ fiat onboarding will add the most value to the ecosystem.”

Based on international conversations and the working session led by Canada in conjunction with other countries, it is clear the country sees both value and risk in stablecoins. The working document shows a future where digital currency will utilize banks only as a means for fiat onboarding. The document seems to address two known stablecoin protocols, an algorithmic stablecoin like DAI and asset-backed stablecoins like Tether. 

Toward the future

Canada’s blockchain history is marked by triumph and struggle. The Crypto Canucks are constant drivers and mass adoption is incoming through all the perceived barriers. From the first Bitcoin ATM to considering banning Bitcoin ATMs to leading the international community toward adoption, the Great White North has been at the forefront for both cryptocurrencies’ benefits and risks. 

While adoption continues to increase, inappropriate regulation could potentially hinder some projects in the country. Guidelines may end up forcing private stablecoins to comply with securities laws in big countries or to even become banks, significantly raising the barrier to entry. Alternatively, countries may turn to outlawing private stablecoins altogether for fear of harm coming to their existing banking systems.

Association of Prive German Banks Argues for Digital Euro

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 30, 2019 by adminOctober 30, 2019

The Association of German Banks released a paper in which it says that the economy needs the digital euro.

German banks have presented a position paper in which they make several arguments for the digital euro.

On Oct. 30, in a paper released by the Association of German Banks (Bankenverband), which represents more than 200 private commercial banks and eleven member associations, banks stated that the “economy needs a programmable digital euro.”

Monetary policy is the state’s responsibility, says Bankenverband

The paper states that the responsibility for the monetary system lies with sovereign nation-states and that any currency provided by banks or private companies must fit into a state-determined system. “Anything else would ultimately lead to chaos and instability,” the paper reads.

The banks make the case for a cryptography-based digital euro which, they state, should be created on the condition that a concurrent, common, pan-European payments platform is also established, further adding:

“The user of a digital euro – whether man or machine – must be clearly identifiable. This requires a European or, better still, a global identity standard. With every form of digital money, customers should be identified using a standard that is just as strict as that which banks and other obligated entities are required to apply under current legal framework pursuing the combat against money laundering and terrorist financing.”

However, according to Bankenverband, a competitive payment system can only be based on a common standard and a common currency. It stated, “In order to maintain Europe’s competitiveness, satisfy customers’ needs and reduce transaction costs, the introduction of euro-based, programmable digital money should be considered.”

Although the private German banks are convinced that, in a digitized economy, this form of digital money will rapidly gain in importance, they state that the existing monetary system must not “be endangered by the provision of crypto-based digital money.”

A private global digital currency, such as Facebook’s Libra, competing with the official key currencies in the world economy would most likely be a source of considerable economic and political conflict, the paper adds.

The banks further call on national and international policymakers to act responsibly and assure that competition with private currencies should not be allowed.

While a digital euro seems appealing, German officials criticize crypto

The German finance minister Olaf Scholz echoed similar sentiments when he recently advocated for the idea of launching a digital euro coin, stating that such a digital payment system would be beneficial for Europe and that they “should not leave the field to China, Russia, the U.S. or any private providers.

Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank, recently said that private stablecoins and cryptocurrency in general are of little value, adding:

“Thus far, stablecoins and crypto-assets have had limited implications in these areas and are not designed in ways that make them suitable substitutes for money.”

The president of the European Central Bank is joined in his sentiments by the German federal parliament, which recently released a statement in which they said that cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) are not real money.

Moreover, the statement points out that stablecoins are no alternative to fiat money and explains that the government intends to limit their adoption:

“It will be ensured that stablecoins do not establish themselves as an alternative to state currencies and thus call into question the existing monetary system.”

Cryptophyl Exchange Reveals Fiat On-Ramp to SLP Token Ecosystem

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 30, 2019 by adminOctober 30, 2019

Cryptophyl Exchange Reveals Fiat On-Ramp to SLP Token Ecosystem

The London-based exchange Cryptophyl is a trading platform focused on the Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP) and bitcoin cash (BCH) ecosystem. On October 29, the exchange announced the launch of the first fiat on-ramp to obtain well-known SLP tokens.

Purchasing SLP Tokens With Fiat

Cryptophyl.com has revealed the public can now purchase SLP tokens using fiat via credit cards, debit cards, and Apple Pay. The Cryptophyl team is collaborating with the payment processor Moonpay in order to facilitate the fiat on-ramp. The SLP token ecosystem has grown quite mature this year and thousands of tokens have been created using the BCH network. Data reveals there’s been 5,400 SLP tokens minted since the inception of the protocol and a slew of tokens have been listed on exchanges. Cryptophyl launched in August and initially offered spice (SPICE) trading with bitcoin cash but the trading platform now has honestcoin (USDH) and the Cryptophyl developed drop (DROP) token. Cryptophyl’s native exchange token drop leverages the ability to utilize onchain dividends by paying holders airdropped tokens directly to their wallets.

Cryptophyl Exchange Reveals Fiat On-Ramp to SLP Token Ecosystem

Now the Cryptophyl team has partnered with Moonpay to provide credit and debit card support to Cryptophyl’s exchange platform. Cryptophyl’s initial fiat payments launch will provide users access to spice and the stablecoin USDH. In the near future, credit and debit card payments can be used to obtain bitcoin cash and drop as well. “We are proud to partner with Cryptophyl to support instant purchases of SLP tokens,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, cofounder and CEO at Moonpay. “Reducing the barriers to entry is critical for mainstream adoption.” Moonpay users will have a connection to the SLP universe as well “expanding the reach of SLP to all users of Moonpay integrated products,” Cryptophyl’s announcement highlighted.

Making Bitcoin Cash Token Trading More Accessible

According to the Cryptophyl team, honestcoin (USDH) and spice (SPICE) are the most popular tokens on the trading platform. Moonpay and Cryptophyl’s fiat on-ramp will charge a fee of 3.99% per transaction. “It’s great to see the addition of credit card support to Cryptophyl,” Semyon Germanovich, Cryptophyl’s founder, detailed during the announcement. “We’re constantly working hard to make token trading more accessible. We’re excited to connect Moonpay’s existing userbase with some of the most popular SLP tokens out there.” Germanovich added:

This is a big moment for SLP tokens, and we’re thrilled to see SLP mature over time, and be a part of this journey. This is the beginning of many great things to come for Bitcoin Cash and the wider cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Cryptophyl Exchange Reveals Fiat On-Ramp to SLP Token Ecosystem

Since Cryptophyl’s inception, the trading platform has been focused on the token technology tethered to the BCH network. The exchange aims to continue expanding the list of SLP pairs on the trading engine. “This mission is achieved through the discovery, due diligence and subsequent listing of quality tokens that demonstrate real-world utility,” Cryptophyl’s announcement notes. “Moving forward, both companies have committed to work together to add all new Cryptophyl listed tokens to Moonpay.”

Stablecoin Adoption: DAI in a Visa Card, Tether Sees Use in E-Commerce

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 29, 2019 by adminOctober 29, 2019

Ethereum-based decentralized stablecoin DAI is now spendable where Visa cards are accepted and Tether sees more use by e-commerce organizations.

Ethereum-based decentralized stablecoin DAI is now spendable where VISA cards are accepted and leading stablecoin Tether (USDT) is seeing increasing use by e-commerce organizations.

DAI now usable in E.U. stores

According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph Oct. 29, collaborative financial platform 2Gether added DAI support to its platform. A spokesperson claimed that this is the first stablecoin added to the platform.

As a result of the addition, 2Gether users can now spend their DAI like euros, without fees, anywhere where Visa is accepted with the dedicated card. Furthermore, 2Gether will also enable DAI holders to buy and sell 13 cryptocurrencies, without fees, and send DAI to external addresses. The firm explains what it hopes to achieve with the addition of the crypto asset to its platform:

“The addition of Dai to 2gether’s crypto catalog offers the possibility of operating with a cryptocurrency that’s both decentralized and stable at the same time.”

E-commerce picks up on Tether’s USDT

Paolo Ardoino, chief technical officer at both Tether and crypto exchange Bitfinex, told Cointelegraph that Tether is expanding to e-commerce organizations and claimed that Tether is an effective way to improve the speed of activity, since it is faster than credit cards and traditional payment systems. He noted:

“Merchants need to have a stablecoin in order to protect their businesses from the volatility of other crypto assets such as Bitcoin. Tether is being widely used by merchants and e-commerce outfits but as this is a new trend we are still collecting and evaluating the data.”

This is in line with recent reports that USDT is gaining popularity as a payment method, with some analysts seeing it catching up with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).

That being said, the future of stablecoin use as means of payment is in danger given that the United States Congress is considering a draft bill that claims all managed stablecoins must be seen as investment contracts and therefore as securities.

As Cointelegraph reported earlier today, the German government announced the intention to forbid stablecoin adoption, declaring:

“It will be ensured that stablecoins do not establish themselves as an alternative to state currencies and thus call into question the existing monetary system.”

Cryptocurrencies Like Bitcoin are Not Real Money: German Parliament

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 29, 2019 by adminOctober 29, 2019

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not real money, according to a statement published by the German federal parliament.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) are not real money, according to a statement published by the German federal parliament on Oct. 28.

Not a payment vehicle, not a store of value

Per the announcement, the assets offered by the current cryptocurrency landscape — such as Bitcoin — provide only a very limited portion of the features expected of traditional money. The statement – titled “Crypto tokens are not real money” – is based on an answer provided by the German federal government to a question from the Free Democratic Party parliamentary group.

The answer provided defines the basic features of money as the following: exchange and means of payment, store of value and unit of account. The announcement points out that the volume of payments carried out using crypto is limited when compared to fiat currencies.

Stablecoins are not an alternative to fiat money

Moreover, the author of the statement also claims that the fluctuations reported by the value render crypto-tokens unsuitable to be a store of value. The answer provided by the government states that stablecoins attempt to solve the issues caused by excessive price fluctuations. Still, the government explains that it intends to forbid their adoption:

“It will be ensured that stablecoins do not establish themselves as an alternative to state currencies and thus call into question the existing monetary system.”

Lastly, the government also noted that they had yet to determine whether Facebook’s Libra would be compliant with German law. The white paper of the project is not an appropriate source of information to judge the matter and more information is needed, the statement reads.

OKEx to Launch USDT Futures Trading With Up to 100x Leverage

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 29, 2019 by adminOctober 29, 2019

The world’s 5th largest crypto exchange OKEx is planning to launch Tether futures trading, offering a linear futures contract with leverage of up to 100x.

The world’s 5th largest crypto exchange OKEx is planning to launch Tether (USDT) futures trading, offering a linear futures contract with leverage of up to 100x.

According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph on Oct. 29, the contract will have daily settlement and offers supported pairs with Bitcoin (BTC), EOS, Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), XRP, Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin SV (BSV) and Tron (TRX).

Stablecoin-based derivatives can simplify trading

OKEx argues that offering stablecoin-based derivatives contracts will offer a simpler and more efficient means for traders to navigate the market and calculate risks.

A USDT-based derivative, in particular, will purportedly reduce the hassle of needing to switch between cryptocurrencies for those who book their profits and losses in USD value. 

Lennix Lai, Financial Market Director at OKEx, has indicated that the exchange platform could roll out further USD-based stablecoin derivatives to provide similar, simplified hedging instruments.

Lai also pointed to the reasons behind the exchange’s choice to offer linear — rather than inverse — futures contracts for USDT:

“Most of the time, users are not willing to hold altcoins as margin, and they also see inverse contracts itself are complicated to understand. We see this linear contract would be an open door to many new retail traders.”

Nov. 6 launch date

OKEx’s USDT futures will officially launch on Nov. 6, with simulation commencing on Oct. 30. A USDT Perpetual Swap option will meanwhile launch on Dec. 2, with simulation beginning Nov. 25.

For USFT futures, the contracts will have a fixed delivery date, with the price set at the mean value of the index at the hour preceding delivery. OKEx has indicated that it will use a mark price to calculate users’ unrealized Profits and Losses (PnL) to mitigate unnecessary liquidation in volatile market conditions. 

A daily settlement process will move unrealized PnL into realized PnL to ensure higher flexibility of capital utilization. The platform is also offering hedging tools such as insurance to assist traders.

OKEx had confirmed its intentions to launch USDT futures in late September — the same day as the exchange was once again prompted to refute fresh allegations of manipulative practices such as wash trading on its platform.  

Earlier this month, Binance’s newly-launched Bitcoin futures product was an outlier in the crypto spot and derivatives markets, hitting a $700 million record as other platforms saw lackluster activity.

Paxos Launches Settlement Platform for Equity Securities After SEC Relief

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 28, 2019 by adminOctober 28, 2019

Stablecoin operator Paxos is launching its settlement platform for U.S.-listed equity securities after receiving a no-action relief from SEC.

Paxos Trust Company announced today that it is set to introduce its Paxos Settlement Service for a number of United States-listed equity securities.

In an Oct. 28 press release, digital asset trust company Paxos stated that it is moving forward with the launch of its blockchain-based settlement platform, having received no-action relief from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The SEC letter indicated that the agency will not take any action against Paxos, which means the company can now proceed with the roll-out of its settlement platform. 

Two European banks, Credit Suisse and Société Générale, will be among the first to utilize the live application of the blockchain-enabled product for U.S. equities, where the two parties will be able to bilaterally settle securities trades directly with each other. Charles Cascarilla, CEO and co-founder of Paxos, stated:

“We’re starting with U.S. listed equities, but this technology can be scaled to many asset classes across geographies and for all types of clients.”

At the beginning of September, Paxos launched PAX Gold (PAXG), a gold-backed Ethereum token, claiming that it is “the first crypto-asset redeemable for physical gold.” A few days later, the stablecoin received a regulatory nod of approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services, with the government body referring to PAXG as the first gold-backed digital currency to become eligible for trading in the state of New York.

Kraken adds support for PAX Gold

Just today, the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced that it is listing PAXG. The users of the exchange will be able to deposit, withdraw and trade the asset starting Oct. 29. Kraken will roll out trading pairs between PAXG and Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), as well as with fiat currencies such as the euro and the U.S. dollar.

Libra Might Become Unrecognizable by Navigating Regulatory Concerns

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 28, 2019 by adminOctober 28, 2019

Libra considering the use of fiat-pegged stablecoins for its basket while navigating through a wave of negative criticisms from regulators.

Amid the regulatory storm facing Libra, the project’s hierarchy is looking to change one important detail of the payment system: using fiat-pegged stablecoins rather than a token supported by a basket of national currencies. The Libra Association says such considerations are part of efforts to create a more agile payment platform.

Meanwhile, the furor over the controversial Libra has begun to take a more political undertone, both within and outside the United States. Arguments for and against the project now seem to include issues surrounding the trade war between the U.S. and China.

In Europe, China’s response to Facebook’s crypto project (the creation of yuan-pegged digital currency) and Libra itself, have sparked some commentators calling on the European Central Bank to adopt a digital currency for the EU. In some ways, it appears Libra has ignited a new currency war, one that might take place in the digital realm, with several counties floating their own central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).

For Libra, the regulatory hassle might constitute only part of its trouble, as the project could face stiff competition from payment giants, especially in China and other parts of Asia. Some of these payment companies are already identifying Libra as a potential competitor ahead of its launch.

Single Libra token or individual fiat-pegged stablecoins?

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, David Marcus, the co-creator of Libra and head of the Calibra wallet, said the project is open to using various fiat-pegged stablecoins rather than its original idea of creating a token. In its white paper, Libra proposed that its token would be supported by a basket of various national currencies. In a statement shared with Cointelegraph, Dante Disparte, the Libra Association’s head of policy and communications, remarked:

“The Libra Association is committed to pursuing responsible innovation in open collaboration with applicable regulators and stakeholders, to ensure the public interest is always protected and remains at the heart of this project. We have a long launch runway by design and are actively engaged with regulators and policymakers around the world.”

Such a move could change the nature of the project drastically, as Libra will be presenting itself as a payment gateway that utilizes digital versions of national fiat rather than a new currency supported by a basket of fiat deposits. For one, its original idea would likely have meant the existence of a private exchange rate mechanism that is firmly in the control of the Libra Association.

In a conversation with Cointelegraph, Randolf Zhao, vice president of operations at cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform BaseFEX, remarked that the move signals Libra’s intention to smoothen some of the regulatory wrinkles hampering the project:

“If you tie your stablecoin to USD, such as Tether, you are not undermining the dominance of USD because people still consider it as a virtual version of USD that is backed by USD reserves companies like Tether possess. But if your coin is backed by a basket of fiat currencies, you are introducing something whose percentage of USD dependency is much less than a USD-backed stablecoin, which is, in essence, challenging the dominance of USD.”

For Zhao, governments around the world will be hard-pressed to allow a project like Libra to operate, considering the vast userbase commanded by Facebook that counts more than 2 billion users across the globe.

Regulatory scrutiny and loss of banking relationships

Earlier in October, a couple of U.S. senators sent cautionary letters to Stripe, Mastercard, Visa, and other U.S.-based early backers of Libra. An excerpt from one of these letters reads:

“If you take this on [being a member of the Libra Association], you can expect a high level of scrutiny from regulators not only on Libra-related payment activities but on all payment activities.”

As previously reported by Cointelegraph, PayPal pulled out of the Libra Association at the start of October. Other early backers like Visa, eBay, Mastercard and Stripe have also announced their exit from the project. Meanwhile, none of the current Libra backers have yet made any financial commitment to the association.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent more than six hours on Oct. 23 responding to several questions from members of the U.S. Congress. The grilling was the latest in a series of appearances by Facebook and Libra before U.S. lawmakers concerning regulatory issues surrounding the project.

As reported by Cointelegraph, Facebook’s role within the Libra Association was one of the major talking points of the hearing. Amid the barrage of questions, Zuckerberg declared that Facebook would have to quit the Libra Association if it fails to secure the green light for the project from U.S. regulators.

Reaffirming its commitment to complying with regulatory provisions, Libra’s Disparte told Cointelegraph, “From the beginning, we’ve said we’re committed to taking the time to get this right,” and went on to say that the publication of a white paper was intended to kickstart a dialogue with the regulators and policymakers, adding that:

“As a member of the Libra Association, we will continue to be a part of this dialogue to ensure that this global financial infrastructure is governed in a way that is reflective of the people it serves. Facebook will not offer Libra through its Calibra wallet until the Association has fully addressed regulators’ concerns and received appropriate approvals.”

For Disparte, the Libra Association is working to ensure that the project adheres to global best practices in the payments industry. As part of the statement to Cointelegraph, Disparte said:

“Our goal is a digital payment system that replicates or exceeds current standards for consumer protection, financial stability, and the prevention of money laundering and illicit finance — while preserving national sovereignty over monetary policy.”

To this end, Disparte said the Libra Association will continue to liaise with regulatory agencies from around the world, adding, “We look forward to collaboration with applicable policymakers on a path forward that addresses their questions and concerns.”

Meanwhile, regulatory concerns might not be the only problem for Libra and its partners. According to Ralph Hamers, the head of Dutch global financial behemoth ING, Facebook might lose valuable banking relationships due to its involvement with Libra.

As reported by Cointelegraph, Hamers indicated that banks could consider cutting services to Facebook if it launches the Libra project. The ING chief remarked that banks may choose not to be associated with Facebook once Libra comes online due to money laundering concerns.

Potential for global Libra adoption

Even if Libra obtains regulatory approval, the project still has to contend with achieving widespread adoption in the electronic payment market. For Vikram R. Singh, managing director at enterprise blockchain firm Antier Solutions, Libra could claim a significant market share in the international remittance scene. In an email to Cointelegraph, Singh observed that the world is currently lacking a banking unicorn, adding that:

“All in all, it [Libra] will be a major disruption and the challenge to the status quo of the state’s authority over its money which will force them to redefine themselves by accepting the change. Consumers will win whichever way it goes; this is for sure.”

In major markets like China, Libra may find breaking into the payment market to be a daunting task due to Facebook’s involvement in the project. Zhao of BaseFEX, commenting on Libra’s prospects in China, remarked:

“Alipay and WeChat Pay both achieved wide adoption through their parent company’s massive promotion efforts and the pre-existent penetration of the corporate’s other services — for Alipay that’s Taobao and TMall, for WeChat Pay it is WeChat. So, unless Facebook can launch something in China and make it a killer app here prior to the launch of Libra, I really don’t see similar success coming for Libra.”

Zhao believes that Libra’s problem in China also has a lot to do with its association with Facebook. Commenting on the matter, the BaseFEX executive said: “Facebook has been out of the picture in China for a long while. Only China’s tech and internet industry talk about Facebook and for the 99.9% population, it is irrelevant.”

Several stakeholders within the banking sector have also come out to dismiss the Libra project. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon recently described Libra as a “neat idea that will never happen.”

Prelude to the CBDC wars?

Amid the ongoing talk surrounding the Libra project, the idea of governments creating their own digital currencies continues to be a recurring conversation. At the Oct. 23 hearing before Congress, Zuckerberg declared that China had stolen the lead from the U.S. in digital currency innovation. An excerpt from an official statement issued by Zuckerberg to Congress reads:

“China is moving quickly to launch a similar idea in the coming months. We can’t sit here and assume that because America is today the leader that it will always get to be the leader if we don’t innovate.”

Indeed, there have been reports that Beijing is looking to release its own CBDC — a yuan-pegged digital currency — with some commentators speculating that the move is part of the country’s efforts to block Libra. However, there have been conflicting statements regarding the level of work already completed on the project.

Oct. 24 did see a flurry of news from China, with the country’s president, Xi Jinping, calling for accelerated adoption of blockchain technology. China has also passed its first-ever “crypto law,” which will reportedly go into effect at the start of 2020. Some commentators, including Dovey Wan of Primitive Ventures, say these moves are part of the modalities for the emergence of China’s national digital currency. Zhao of BaseFEX told Cointelegraph that the proposed digital-yuan is still a work in progress:

“The main driving force at this moment is a working group inside the People’s Bank of China (PBoC). It is more like an internal think tank, within the Central Bank. What that group says represents only what they think, not what the entire People’s Bank of China thinks. But allowing this small working group to say things publicly on a regular basis does indicate PBoC’s favorable stance upon this China-crypto.”

However, Zhao maintained that it would take more than the recommendations of a PBoC working group to engineer something like a national digital currency in China. According to Zhao, the introduction of a national cryptocurrency would be a very big deal for the entire nation, and therefore the PBoC will by no means decide on such a move by itself. Zhao also added:

“People who don’t know how Chinese government departments function and work with each other tend to over-react to such news, which is unfortunately very much the case for the English-speaking crypto community.”

CBDCs for all, including Libra

Nevertheless, these reports seem to have been sufficient to spook some stakeholders within the EU. Bruno Le Maire, France’s finance minister, recently called on the European Central Bank to begin working on creating its own digital currency in response to China’s efforts.

Despite identifying the apparent threat of China’s CBDC efforts, Le Maire and other EU policy stakeholders aren’t keen on Libra, tagging the project as having severe implications for the monetary sovereignty of countries in the EU. Both France and Germany have expressed a desire to prevent Libra from operating in Europe.

For some members of the U.S. Congress, however, the fears surrounding China’s reported digital currency project is much ado about nothing. After the Oct. 23 Libra hearing, Rep. Maxine Waters, who is the chair of the House Financial Services Committee, dismissed Zuckerberg’s implication that the U.S. is lagging behind in terms of digital innovation.

Cred to Demo Global Merchant Solution at Blockchain Week Kick-Off

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 28, 2019 by adminOctober 28, 2019

On Wednesday, October 30, Cred and the Universal Protocol Alliance will be hosting a live demonstration of a point-of-sale (PoS) device that enables purchases with cryptocurrency. Cred’s PoS financial operating system allows customers to utilize any crypto wallet for purchases at the PoS and will debut with bitcoin cash acceptance. Future versions of the Cred financial operating system will also accept debit, credit and gift cards and enable businesses to earn interest and receive a working capital line of credit. The event in Emeryville will kick off San Francisco Blockchain Week and will feature several California elected officials and well-known blockchain executives.

Taking Crypto to a New High: An Event Showcasing Cred’s Global Merchant Solution

The Universal Protocol Alliance (UPA) and Cred have organized an event at the Ohana Dispensary in conjunction with San Francisco Blockchain Week. News.Bitcoin.com reported on the UPA and Cred making headway in California when Berkeley City Councilmember Ben Bartlett became the first elected official to make a purchase using bitcoin cash. The purchase at the Ohana dispensary ended up settling instantly in a stablecoin which helps the merchant avoid digital currency volatility.

The cofounder of Cred, Dan Schatt, told news.Bitcoin.com that the event on Wednesday will also showcase a live demonstration of the PoS hardware running the Cred financial operating system. The business will accept cryptocurrency and settle instantly in the Alliance UPUSD stablecoin for the merchant and the city tax collector’s convenience.

“Several California politicians will be on hand, including local mayors and city council members in the bay area and county assessors,” Schatt detailed. “We will also have crypto industry leaders – the CEOs of Cred, Uphold, Bitcoin.com, Omisego, and journalists.” Schatt added:

A few things will be presented that have never been possible: instant tax collection, particularly in an industry that only collects 17% of tax revenue, instant settlement with the merchant (this usually takes three days with Square), the opportunity for merchants to earn interest on their proceeds and to borrow.

Digital Currency Innovation Coupled With Frictionless Stablecoin Settlement

The event invitation notes there will be music, food, and cocktails. Special guests will include members of the Blockchain Advocacy Coalition, Bitcoin.com CEO Stefan Rust, Mayor of Emeryville Ally Medina, and Berkeley Councilmember Ben Bartlett. The event will not only display the powerful potential of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin cash but also the innovation behind stablecoins. The Universal Dollar (UPUSD) is a stablecoin issued by the Universal Protocol and the first stablecoin to be listed on Uphold. Every UPUSD is backed by the U.S. dollar and coins are minted on-chain with every transaction written to Ethereum.

“The UPUSD stablecoin is completely transparent and 1:1 substantiated with USD. This demonstrates the power of several companies coming together to support the very practical use case of providing significantly better financial services to cash-intensive industries,” Schatt told news.Bitcoin.com. “Every transaction, whether it is facilitated with a debit, credit, prepaid or BCH — Paying results in the purchase of LBA as a translation utility token, which is then collateralized and UPUSD is advanced to the merchant. It requires a lot of companies working together — Cred as a licensed lender, the Universal Alliance as the minter of the stablecoin, the integration of BCH in the PoS system.”

The event “Taking Crypto to a New High” at the Ohana Dispensary on October 30 will start at 5:30 p.m. and the organizers say “make sure to bring your Crypto wallet to experience a revolutionary new use case for blockchain.” Moreover, free transportation will be provided to credentialed San Francisco Blockchain Week attendees. If you are attending the blockchain conference in the Bay area and want to see a revolutionary global merchant solution, then register for the free event here.

Blockchain Registers for Recording Ownership Rights Around the World

Bitcoin Management Systems Posted on October 26, 2019 by adminOctober 26, 2019

Here is a list of where and how to secure ownership rights for businesses and real estate through a blockchain.

The use of blockchain to cement ownership rights for real estate and business has been ongoing since 2016, when the technology was first used to organize new forms of registries and registration of transactions. The blocks are used to record information onto the blockchain system, which can then certify the process of transfer of ownership of the property or entity. 

This process excludes intermediaries that collect commissions in the process of, for example, conducting real estate transactions while also lowering the risk of fraud. Specialized blockchain platforms can prevent data forgery and simplify the process of checking real estate objects or business debts before deals take place. 

That is why, in 2016, the National Agency of Public Registry of Georgia launched a blockchain project on land management with the Bitfury Group. In 2017, the State Land Cadastre of Ukraine switched to the Exonum platform for private blockchains, which is also supported by Bitfury. 

The latest move came in early October this year in the United Arab Emirates, as the Department of Economic Development of Dubai announced a transition to a blockchain-based platform for the single enterprise market. The platform is designed to increase the convenience of doing business in Dubai and enable agents to obtain a license for managing trade licenses and corporate clients.

Thus, governments of different states are increasingly participating in, or encourage the creation of registries and are looking to record ownership through the blockchain. So, here is a list of countries where registries are either piloted or already used.

Blockchain-based registries available around the world

United States

In the U.S., blockchain has been interacting with the real estate sector for some time now, and different companies are trying to occupy this attractive niche. In 2014, major U.S. retailer Overstock.com began to accept BTC payments and founded its subsidiary Medici Ventures to invest in blockchain projects. One of the venture’s projects was Medici Land Governance, which has been developing a global land blockchain registry since 2018. 

Medici Land Governance uses blockchain and other technologies to support land management, appropriation and administration through a reliable public registry of land ownership. The project currently operates in the U.S., Zambia, Rwanda, Mexico, and St. Kitts and Nevis, where memorandums of understanding have been established with local governments. 

Another Californian blockchain-based real estate company, Propy, aims to connect buyers and sellers through smart contracts in a peer-to-peer system that enables users to acquire properties completely through the blockchain, fully avoiding paperwork and mediation. This is useful for global real estate transactions, where various national laws confuse the process.

In January 2018 in South Burlington, U.S., the project began pilot tests for the purchase and sale of real estate, and in March 2018, the company conducted the first real estate transaction completed on a blockchain in the U.S. without any intermediaries or signing of physical papers. The government of Vermont accredited and registered the deal on a smart contract that exists in the form of an electronic QR code containing all the necessary data on ownership rights.

In Delaware, where over half of all publicly traded U.S. companies are registered, state representatives announced in summer 2018 that they plan to launch conceptual proof for a blockchain-based business filing system that will allow corporations to take advantage of smart contract technology for automatically tracking stocks and securing assets in real time. Previously, Delaware had signed a contract with IBM to develop an electronic distributed ledger based on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain structure.

Sweden

The Swedish land-ownership authority Lantmäteriet began testing blockchain technology in 2016 in cooperation with telecommunication company Telia, consulting firm Kairos Future and blockchain company Chromaway. As a result, a pilot project was presented to develop future real estate transactions by using smart contracts that aimed to significantly reduce the time it takes to sign contracts, register a deal and ultimately sell a property. 

The project consists of three steps, with the first one being an experiment to demonstrate the technology’s potential. On March 30, 2017, the second stage ended with the release of a report that showed how the preparation of smart contracts automates the processes of cadastral operations. 

To conclude a sale and purchase transaction, the buyer and seller do not need to use a notary. It is enough to provide digital signatures that are checked automatically. The third phase was to enable the actual transfer of land rights. On June 2018, developers completed the first successful transaction on the platform.

Switzerland 

Swiss blockchain startup Proxeus joined with IBM Switzerland, Canton Zug and Swisscom in April 2018 to create the first register based on blockchain technology. 

The project shows how a variety of parties, such as an entrepreneur, lawyer, bank, notary and commercial register can digitize their workflows through the use of IT systems integrated into banks and the commercial registry, which already exist with the Hyperledger blockchain and smart contract.

The project was a part of the Digitalswitzerland Challenge, a joint initiative of several leading Swiss companies aimed at stimulating the digitization efforts across the country and creating an alternative to the cumbersome process of registering a business in Switzerland.

United Kingdom

In the fall of 2018, the National Land Registry of Great Britain — Her Majesty’s Land Registry (HMLR) — decided to use blockchain for maintaining land cadastre, announcing plans to digitize its data. The plan was called Digital Street and should take up to five years to complete. 

The use of the technology should simplify the record-keeping process for ownership of land and real estate. The blockchain will protect this information, making it possible to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy. In April 2019, HMLR announced that the prototype blockchain was used to sell a house in Kent.

The process, which included the sale of the duplex in Gillingham, Kent, was designed to show how to buy and sell a house as easily and quickly as possible by demonstrating a digital transfer of ownership.

Russia

The Russian state program called “Digital Economy” launched in 2017, which included making use of blockchain technology in the public sector. The Ministry of Economic Development and the Government of Moscow plan to jointly implement a pilot project on the use of blockchain technology in the real estate registry.

Transferring an existing real estate registry to the blockchain will mean that all the data on any property will be made available to interested parties, including a full list of past owners as well as the debts and persons registered to the property. The next step should be the transfer of sales contracts in the form of smart contracts, which cannot be changed retroactively.

The Federal Service for State Registration, Cadastre and Cartography (Rosreestr) was one of the first to register an equity agreement in this way in 2018. In the future, blockchain will be used in interactions between the Rosreestr with the Foundation for the Protection of the Rights of Participants in Shared Construction, where property developers pay insurance premiums.

The representative of Rosreestr explained that a larger project for recordinging all Moscow’s real estate transactions on a blockchain was also in the works, but is still being organized past its initial launch date of January 2019.

France

In March 2019, IBM and the National Council of French Commercial Court Secretaries announced the development of a corporate registry solution based on blockchain technology. 

A blockchain network will be used by clerks working in commercial courts throughout France and will provide additional transparency and efficiency through improved management of legal transactions related to the life cycle of companies. The network also allows the sharing of a single version of the truth between court clerks and provides tracking of notifications related to changes in legislation.

Japan

The government of Japan began to find ways of implementing real estate transactions into blockchain back in 2017. Different ministries and real estate companies in Japan have their own real estate databases, which the government opted to unify. 

Pilot testing of the state blockchain-based real estate registry began in summer 2018 in several cities across the country. If successful, the Japanese government will fully transfer the state registry of real estate to the blockchain over the next few years.

Brazil

In April 2017, the U.S. company Ubiquity LLC announced that it is collaborating with the land registrar offices of two Brazilian municipalities by recording land ownership information on the Bitcoin blockchain. 

The company implemented this pilot project together with the Brazilian real estate registry Cartorio de Registro de Imoveis in the municipalities of Pelotas and Morro Redondo. According to project developers, the ongoing pilot program aims to move away from paper records to a 100% digital solution.
