It’s been a busy couple of weeks in the bitcoin space, with no shortage of high profile organizations and governments weighing in on bitcoin and blockchain technology. We’ve seen China and Japan kick off initiations that will see both nations develop their own blockchain based cryptocurrency. We’ve seen the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the US write into law legislation that could pave the way for a bitcoin funded, equity model crowdfunding platform. We’ve seen Russian and European weigh in on the legality and regulation of bitcoin and bitcoin startups, the first bitcoin company IPO and major commercial banks introduce development hubs that could see blockchain technology underpin financial transactions in the commercial space implemented as soon as the next few years. And now, Sony Corporation (NYSE:SNE) is stepping into the space.
