The central bank of the Maldives has warned citizens to be wary of advertisements appearing on social media platforms relating to the trading of cryptocurrencies. In a press release, the Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA) cautioned members of the public against transacting in cryptocurrencies pointing out that it was the only agency responsible for licensing money exchange business and international as well as domestic money-remittance firms. According to the central bank of Asia’s smallest country by both area and population, no permit has been issued to any organization authorizing the use of cryptocurrencies in conducting financial transactions. https://www.ccn.com/maldives-central-bank-denies-issuing-permits-for-crypto-transactions/ |

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced on Thursday that it had obtained an emergency court order to halt an initial coin offering (ICO) that fraudulently claimed to have SEC approval. According to the complaint, which was filed under seal on Oct. 3, Blockvest LLC and its founder — Reginald Buddy Ringgold, III, aka Rasool Abdul Rahim El — told prospective ICO investors that the company had “registered” with the SEC and had been “approved” by the agency, along with other regulators. That, along with other claims that Blockvest made, was not true. https://www.ccn.com/sec-halts-fraudulent-ico-that-falsely-claimed-regulatory-approval/ |

The world’s largest crypto brokerage Coinbase is reportedly close to finalizing a $500 million funding round at a valuation of $8 billion, and Binance has started to become more active in the investment sector, funding blockchain startups internationally. While major cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and BitMEX are seeing their businesses flourish with lucrative business models and high profit margins, minor exchanges are struggling in the bear market. This week, the UK’s oldest exchange, Coinfloor, has slashed the number of its employees after recording a decline in its revenues as a consequence of the drop in daily trading volume of major cryptocurrencies and the emergence of many cryptocurrency exchanges in the local market. https://www.ccn.com/while-major-crypto-exchanges-flourish-minor-platforms-struggle-in-bear-market/ |

Engima, the startup seeking to bring privacy to the world of public blockchains, is delaying the launch of its mainnet as part of a wider reworking of its developmental roadmap. The company had previously planned to deploy its "Discovery" protocol on the live ethereum network or "mainnet" – it launched on an ethereum "testnet" over the summer – by the end of the third quarter. According to a blog post published Thursday, that plan has changed in the interest of building out the Enigma ecosystem and continuing to work with the project's stakeholders. https://www.coindesk.com/enigma-delays-release-of-discovery-protocol-on-ethereum-mainnet/ |

Cryptocurrency purists often dismiss private blockchains as overly expensive undertakings for projects that are better served with a traditional database. Yet these distributed ledger solutions keep being rolled out by enterprises in various settings – mostly still in experimental phases, but, increasingly, with real money at stake. And while they fall short of the public blockchain ideals of censorship resistance and permissionlessness, these contained, private experiments are extremely useful to the development of the overall blockchain industry. https://www.coindesk.com/the-power-of-private-blockchains-is-beginning-to-show/ |

According to a report by Trustnodes on August 19th, V God proposed to change the highest-cost auction mode used in the current transaction to the fixed-charge mode. The idea is to replace the current fluctuating cost calculation with a protocol rule that sets the cost at a certain level, combined with a formula that allows for a change based on capacity. Under this design, all charges can be included in a pool of funds, which are distributed to the miners on average as block rewards. V God said that the proposal is related to most public chains and is being considered in Ethereum. This is basically the commonality of transaction processing, so that miners do not compete with each other for the transactions they deal with, they share the cost rather than paying directly through the transaction fee. https://www.trustnodes.com/2018/08/19/vitalik-buterin-proposes-fixed-fees-can-act-block-reward |
