From my Twitter feed:

ING and Societe Generale have teamed up with commodity trading house Mercuria to test the use of blockchain technology for a live oil trade.

Looks like another industry testing Blockchain Technology to see how it fits in. The list is now

No one ever responded to this? Its called Easy Trading Connect (ETC?? lol) and has already done more than ethereum classic so i think we should give them the name and let ethereumclassic die.. Whats the point of it anyways? Looks like this actually does something.
