3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / [ANN] [ICO] Two English Premier League Teams Are Planning To Launch ICOs on: September 24, 2018, 11:03:23 AM
Two stone-broke football clubs, Newcastle United and Cardiff City, are trying to dodge the financial issues by planning to launch cryptocurrency through a tokenized crowdfunding round as reported by The Times.

Both the English Premier League teams are reportedly in conversation with SportyCo, a decentralized sports investment and funding platform, to launch their Initial Coin Offering (ICO) round. SportCo has prior partnered with Avaí Futebol Clube to raise them about $20 million through a public sale of AVAI tokens. The organization is likewise a main sponsorer of Espanyol, the world's top football team.

This partnership would empower the clubs to start the sale of their private digitized tokens as securities/utilities. As interested members buy these tokens, they would either gain a specific stake in the clubs' income or get extra benefits for utilizing the token on games-related purchases.

The Mag highlights the poor financial status of both Newcastle United and Cardiff City. Also, both Newcastle United and Cardiff City have accepted that they are battling for survival with lower-budgets.

     "Sir John Madejski, a prominent figure in the Premier League once said that running a football club is not for faint-hearted; that one has to have deep pockets to run them         smoothly especially when most clubs run at a loss."

After understanding that running a football club can't simply be a one-rich-man show, football clubs are opening up to the possibility of going public.

So, basically, it is based on Smart contracts and using which, the advertisers send ads to the users in a locked state with a certain token payment. After seeing that ad, the user will get some portion from the received token payment.

Moreover, in between, Brave browser also get some token payment and the final remaining token payment will be credited to the publisher who hosts the ad.

Bat can be used in the browser for premium articles, donations to providers and other kinds of data services.

What is VeChain(VET) Coin? - Everything you need to know

What is VeChain Cryptocurrency?

VeChain is one of the world’s leading blockchain platforms. It is a Singapore based company whose main aim is to solve the real-time problems with IoT devices.

It was founded in 2015 and is a decentralized platform which allows customers and sellers to communicate and interact with each other without the involvement of any intermediary. It is currently the part of the businesses such as Agriculture, Pharmacy, manufacturing, retail, logistics, luxury goods, Wines etc.

VeChain has a team of around 150 employees and their CEO named Sunny Lu is a fluent English speaker with expertise in IT and Information Security across luxury brands.

An Overview of the VeChain Foundation

VeChain Foundation is a non-profitable foundation which is responsible for the construction of the network, research, and development.

It provides support to the businesses who are interested in utilizing blockchain technology as a service which includes payment services, private key management, smart contract development, and wallet development.

What does VeChain support?


VeChain basically supports the supply chain management. Supply chain Management means management of goods and services which involves product creation to deliver it to the real customer.

It uses VeChain identity (VID) to track the product and these identities are produced using the SHA256 hash function.

VeChain provides the support by storing the details about the product on their blockchain which is secure and immutable. Each of the firms who are involved in using this technology has their separate private keys and they can interact with the rest of the organizations who are involved in that network.

How does VeChain work?

VeChain helps to identify Counterfeit by using RFIDs with blockchain. RFID tag is the tag which is attached to the objects to identify and track the product using Electromagnetic fields.

It provides transparency to the customers. It allows manufacturers to assign unique ID like RFID or sensor to the products and that information should be updated at the VeChain blockchain.

Due to this, every party involved in that supply chain will get the details about the products and its handling information.

For e.g: When some drug is issued in one country and is required for usage in another country, the drug needs to be stored at some specific temperature and also it might have some restrictions related to the transport as it can’t be imported via airlines. Thus, to keep a check on all those things, these sensors help the manufacturers to know where the product is an RFID reader is also available through which customer can check if the delivered drug is original or fake.

Financial firms have shown immense interest in diving into the crypto market. It’s no brainer that the giant firms are always trying to dope something new to grab the customers’ attention on them.

It’s been a while that the crypto market has introduced the concept of direct investing in cryptocurrency without owning them. Citigroup has already stepped a bit ahead with their digital asset receipt. While such success of Citigroup has kindled up the market of digital currencies, the giants like Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs has started exploring custody products of cryptocurrencies.

As reported by Business Insider, Morgan Stanley is out to offer trading of a derivative product tied to Bitcoin. This New York-based financial service-firm is promptly planning bitcoin swaps to give investors exposure to the digital currency performance without actually owning them.

The firm is ready to launch their product and will release as soon as they find the right amount of demands from industrial clients. Morgan Stanley has been the most bulge-bracket bank to dive deeper into the cryptocurrency market. As per the report, the bank has said it is not trading bitcoin itself. The report also reveals that Morgan Stanley has hired Andrew Peel from Credit Suisse in June as head of digital asset to smooth out their crypto-success.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs has already started to trade bitcoin futures and other digital currency products. On the other hand, Citigroup’s digital asset receipt is quite similar to the American depository receipt, which has been around for a decade to give US investors a way to buy foreign stocks.

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Sagar Sarbhai Says: XRP Piloted With 12 Banks Worldwide Before xRapid Launch on: September 20, 2018, 05:18:20 AM

Sagar Sarbhai, Ripple's Head of Government and Regulatory Relations for APAC and the Middle East, recently revealed some information about XRP's connection with banks at a Fintech conference.

Sarbhai referred to the matter of XRP being piloted with around 12 banks worldwide even before the xRapid product was launched. He stated:

    “In 2016 what we did was we piloted with 12 banks. These 12 banks were based across regions across the globe and they did not have prefunded relationships with each other. and what we did was we gave these banks some XRP and asked them to settle within themselves and it worked beautifully.”

At that time, XRP fitted well in cross-border payment usecase, however, a system was required for allowing the banks to utilize it due to the regulatory issues back then. Such issues were faced by the banks as per Sarbhai. He remarked:

    "[They said] we would love to adopt it but we cannot, because there are capital requirements and regulatory uncertainty. So they said that its volatile, [and that] there are no set of regulations, so we cannot hold those assets in our books.”

This led the team of Ripple to come up with an evolved product - xRapid. For driving its mass adoption, Ripple started to partner up with payment providers who showed interest in using xRapid. Sarbhai said:

    “That works because they don’t have to hold the digital asset on their books but using the piece of software called xRapid they can actually connect to a digital asset exchange, convert fiat to XRP at that time and XRP to fiat in real time on the other end and that actually happens in 3 seconds so there’s no case of volatility risk as well.”

on September 4, 2018, Zebpay - one of the leading crypto exchanges of India made an announcement about the Rupee Balances of Users stating that the exchange is overwhelmed with the extraordinary support of users since 4 years, while also expressing their responsibility towards the users.

After RBI issued a circular to stop all the crypto-trading services and the related banking transactions in India, Zebpay was forced to ask its users to withdraw their balances within a certain allowable period of time. This move highly affected the Zebpay users and the exchange as well.

The situation remains quite the same in India, as the withdrawing banking support still prevails. However, the exchange took a responsible action for its users and made an announcement to return all of its user's money. Zebpay stated:

A crypto organization in the United Arab Emirates has launched the world's First Islamic Crypto Exchange (FICE).

As revealed by Trade Arabi, UAE-based Adab Solutions has released the world's first cryptocurrency exchange that meets Sharia law. Keeping in mind the end goal to guarantee that the exchange agrees to Islamic laws, a Sharia Advisory Board (SAB) framed of independent international Sharia Experts was made.

    The project aims to “ensure an enhanced quality of assets on the exchange, as well as the enhanced inclusion of Islamic cryptocurrency enthusiasts and traders.”

Trade Arabi wrote:

   “Shariah Advisory Board (SAB) is the independent body represented by internationally recognized Shariah experts, which will provide inputs on Shariah matters in order for the FICE to comply with Shariah principles at all times. These new standards set forth by the FICE will ensure an enhanced quality of assets on the exchange, as well as an enhanced inclusion of Islamic cryptocurrency enthusiasts and traders,”

There are numerous limitations on cryptocurrencies in Islamic law. For example, the 'fractional reserve lending' system, which empowers the majority of fiat resources, is perceived as an illicit activity. Then again, digital assets, such as Bitcoin (BTC) serve as a limited supply, making it a Sharia commodity, perceived as Gold or Salt.

Back in April 2018, the media demonstrated that Mufti Muhammad Abu Bakar-an Islamic researcher in Jakarta revealed that it considers BTC a Sharia-compliant, respectively it very well may be utilized by Muslims.

The declaration is a promising one as there will be opened new ways to about 1.8 billion Muslims. As per it, FICE expects to offer a much better cryptocurrency trading platform that may soon turn into a universal solution for connecting Muslims with the cryptocurrency space. Note that FICE's administrations will be accessible to all users irrespective of religion.

Operation Cryptosweep was launched back in May 2018 with an aim to protect the investors and keep them from falling prey to fraudulent ICO schemes or other crypto-related investment products. This international task force aims to focus on the securities infringement in the crypto business which was established by the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA), a body formed by a joint regulatory force of the U.S., Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Mexico.

In an official public statement on Tuesday, August 28, NASAA reported that Operation Cryptosweep has now "more than 200 active investigations" done by the provincial-level and state offices in the U.S. and, Canada itself. In a recent couple of months, the Operation Cryptosweep has started 47 diverse authorization activities while uncovering violations relating to securities fraud to startups deceiving the investors about their products prior to the launch.

Operation Cryptosweep has likewise gotten support and appreciation from Jay Clayton, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman. The press release quoted Joseph P. Borg, NASAA President, and Alabama Securities Commission Director, saying:

    “State and provincial securities regulators are committing significant regulatory resources to protect investors from financial harm involving fraudulent ICOs and cryptocurrency-related investment products and also are raising awareness among industry participants of their regulatory responsibilities.”

He additionally included:

    “While not every ICO or cryptocurrency-related investment is a fraud, it is important for individuals and firms selling these products to be mindful that they are not doing so in a vacuum; state and provincial laws or regulations may apply, especially securities laws. Sponsors of these products should seek the advice of knowledgeable legal counsel to ensure they do not run afoul of the law. Furthermore, a strong culture of compliance should be in place before, not after, these products are marketed to investors.”

To be honest, i was thruogh ponzi. i used to deposit over 0.1,0.4 to earn 0.7 to 0.9 bitcoins and i made a lot of Money. then, suddenly i decided to go for the killer jackpot and stack all my btc for once. i can remember clearly when a friend was advising me NEVER TO PUT ALL My eggs in one basket. i refused to listen and insist that it is only by strong will can one survived.
 Unfortunately I LOST EVERYTHING.  IT was my life saving. Both my earning and my interest.
To cut the story short. i borrow money form the friend that was advising me not to stake everything. i need to pay back. But i will never depart from my lesson learnt from the bitcoin  stuff. i bought another bitcoins last year august and keep it away from anything. i strongly believed that i will still get my money and my friends money.
Thanks to the current Market, I HAVE TO SELL EVERTHING TO PAY MY DEPTHS.

Its really a expensive lessons to learn. . But you says you bought bitcoin last August 2017, why then you not sell everything during December? That's the best opportunity to let go of your bitcoins and could possibility pay the debts and you can still have some left for you. Probably you think that bitcoin price could go on a parabolic rise which unfortunately didn't happen because it will not happen. Oh well, it really sucks but at least you are free and I do hope that you learn your mistakes and if ever you are going back to the market, let this guide you and hope that you will make the correct decision.

She added that blockchain technology prevents illegal tax avoidance. Beer further clarified the utilization of blockchain technology by the bank:

Actual blockchain technology has not yet resolved issues with privacy and scalability that we needed. We are connected to Hyperledger and Enterprise Ethereum Alliance.

The project will utilize and build upon the blockchain created by the central bank's own attempt to tokenize the Singaporean dollar into a digital money, as a part of its 'Project Ubin' activity.

Ultimately, the attempt sees the target of building up a DvP mechanism that empowers organizations to transact and settle securities – tokenized digitally – across various blockchain platforms while eliminating securities risks and enhancing operational efficiency.

    The SGX stated that the joint venture "will allow financial institutions and corporate investors to carry out simultaneous exchange and final settlement of tokenized digital     currencies and securities assets, improving operational efficiency and reducing settlement risks."

SGX head of innovation and project chair Tinku Gupta expressed:

    "This initiative will deploy blockchain technology to efficiently link up funds transfer and securities transfer, eliminating both buyers’ and sellers’ risk in the DvP process."

A similar declaration by Singapore's central bank featured Stock Exchange giant Nasdaq, 'big four' accounting and services firm Deloitte and blockchain startup Anquan as the project's technology partners.

Sopnendu Mohanty, fintech boss at Singapore's national bank, was cited as expressing:

    "Blockchain technology is radically transforming how financial transactions are performed today, and the ability to transact seamlessly across blockchains will open up a world of new business opportunities"
