One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG.

Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.

It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective.

\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\".

China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.

With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective.

The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology.

Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success.

Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries.

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective.

This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\".

China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.

This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC).

Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau.

Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>.

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past.

Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries.

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective.

The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\".

China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange.

The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau.

Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.

In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.

This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential.

Dorsey\u2019s ambition in bitcoin mining dates back to 2021 when he unveiled<\/a> his vision of creating a customized, open-source silicon system that is decentralized with no third parties, energy efficient, and accessible to individuals and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The publicly listed firm has already started to develop the proprietary bitcoin mining semiconductor chips, purpose-built application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), that would reportedly form the basis for creating the expected suite of developer tools. The announcement ended with a call to action for developers and bitcoin miners to share their thoughts on the project and what they expect it to have via [email protected]<\/a>, adding that further updates would be shared in due time.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Jack Dorsey\u2019s Block Announces DIY Bitcoin \u2018Mining Development Kit\u2019","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jack-dorseys-block-announces-diy-bitcoin-mining-development-kit","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-03-09 00:33:50","post_modified_gmt":"2023-03-08 13:33:50","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10331","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":10282,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-03-07 23:34:17","post_date_gmt":"2023-03-07 12:34:17","post_content":"\n
Cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, Bybit, launched <\/a>a debit card enabling users to use digital currencies for payments and cash withdrawals. Bybit cards integrate with the Mastercard network and enable fiat-based transactions by deducting cryptocurrency balances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A virtual card for online purchases will be provided free of charge at launch. A physical debit card is scheduled for release in April 2023. The card supports BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and XRP balances.

Moorwand payment solutions provider issues the card, with ATM withdrawals and global payments limited to the user's Bybit account's aggregated cryptocurrency holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bybit's payment solution aims to bridge the gap between cryptocurrency and fiat-based transactions. This is possible by providing a secure and innovative way to manage digital assets and traditional currencies. Users can safely and easily use cryptocurrencies in their daily lives, potentially heralding a new era of cryptocurrency adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau.

Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space.

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world. As Ripple expands its policy team and continues to engage with regulators and central banks worldwide, the future of digital currencies and cross-border payments is sure to be shaped by the innovative solutions offered by Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Payments company Block, formally known as Square, is doubling down efforts to enhance efficiency in bitcoin mining<\/a> with the latest plans for a \u2018\u2018mining development kit.\u2019\u2019 The project aims to increase the accessibility and openness of bitcoin mining hardware for novel use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Announced Tuesday in a blog post<\/a> by Naoise Irwin, Block\u2019s mining hardware senior product lead, the MDK aims to tap into the significant opportunities that could increase accessibility and the openness of bitcoin mining hardware and enhance innovation in the sector. That includes support for development projects integrating bitcoin mining into novel use cases like heating solutions, off-grid mining, home mining, or intermittent power apps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MDK features an industrial-grade bitcoin mining hashboard designed for compatibility with customised control boards and third-party controllers like Raspberry Pi. It also has a custom-designed controller board compatible with the hash board, open-source firmware, a software API, and a web-frontend for developers. Also available, according to Irwin, are extensive reference materials and support documentation for easy hashboard customisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange.

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange.

The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world. As Ripple expands its policy team and continues to engage with regulators and central banks worldwide, the future of digital currencies and cross-border payments is sure to be shaped by the innovative solutions offered by Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world. As Ripple expands its policy team and continues to engage with regulators and central banks worldwide, the future of digital currencies and cross-border payments is sure to be shaped by the innovative solutions offered by Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries.

India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.

It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective.

The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies.

China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.

This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world. As Ripple expands its policy team and continues to engage with regulators and central banks worldwide, the future of digital currencies and cross-border payments is sure to be shaped by the innovative solutions offered by Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>. Now Hong Kong is like a \"black horse\" in the Asian market, and in the future, this city will become the second spear of China next to Beijing to help this country \"breakthrough\" the world market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"Hong Kong Invests Over $6.4M Into Web 3 Development","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"hong-kong-invests-over-6-4m-into-web-3-development","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:32:36","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:32:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=10085","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9928,"post_author":"13","post_date":"2023-02-17 13:27:44","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-17 02:27:44","post_content":"\n

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Some of the subscribers include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.

This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange.

The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.

India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange.

The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange.

The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world.

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.

This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds.

It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.

Gate Group, renowned for its crypto exchange Gate.io, has announced <\/a>the upcoming launch of its Gate Visa debit card. The debit card offers users an easy way to convert their crypto assets into fiat for in-store and online purchases.

Gate Group initially offered the crypto debit card to residents in the European Economic Area. The company plans to expand to other regions and scale up its service. A waitlist and registration process is now available for the new card.\u00a0To qualify for a Gate Card, users must have a Gate account and complete the KYC process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier this week, crypto exchange Bybit launched <\/a>its own crypto debit card powered by Mastercard. The card allows users to convert their crypto assets into fiat for online and offline purchases at over 50 million merchants worldwide. Payment processors, such as Visa and Mastercard, are expanding into the crypto space by partnering with crypto exchanges to launch crypto debit cards aiming to be some of the first to offer such services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WeChat has moved to support the development of China's CBDC, adding a payment method using the digital yuan, e-CNY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
WeChat is currently the largest social network in China and is expanding to more than 200 countries with 900 million individual users. With the strong development of WeChat today, this action of \"tycoon\" has brought the value of e-CNY to the world.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
WeChat Pay wallet has over 3 billion users per quarter and allows users to use e-CNY to make payments, such as ordering fast food or topping up some mobile games connected with this platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Payments company Block, formally known as Square, is doubling down efforts to enhance efficiency in bitcoin mining<\/a> with the latest plans for a \u2018\u2018mining development kit.\u2019\u2019 The project aims to increase the accessibility and openness of bitcoin mining hardware for novel use cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Announced Tuesday in a blog post<\/a> by Naoise Irwin, Block\u2019s mining hardware senior product lead, the MDK aims to tap into the significant opportunities that could increase accessibility and the openness of bitcoin mining hardware and enhance innovation in the sector. That includes support for development projects integrating bitcoin mining into novel use cases like heating solutions, off-grid mining, home mining, or intermittent power apps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The MDK features an industrial-grade bitcoin mining hashboard designed for compatibility with customised control boards and third-party controllers like Raspberry Pi. It also has a custom-designed controller board compatible with the hash board, open-source firmware, a software API, and a web-frontend for developers. Also available, according to Irwin, are extensive reference materials and support documentation for easy hashboard customisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, Bybit, launched <\/a>a debit card enabling users to use digital currencies for payments and cash withdrawals. Bybit cards integrate with the Mastercard network and enable fiat-based transactions by deducting cryptocurrency balances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A virtual card for online purchases will be provided free of charge at launch. A physical debit card is scheduled for release in April 2023. The card supports BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC, and XRP balances. User accounts automatically convert payments into Euros or Pounds based on the user's country of residence. Moorwand payment solutions provider issues the card, with ATM withdrawals and global payments limited to the user's Bybit account's aggregated cryptocurrency holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bybit's payment solution aims to bridge the gap between cryptocurrency and fiat-based transactions. This is possible by providing a secure and innovative way to manage digital assets and traditional currencies. Users can safely and easily use cryptocurrencies in their daily lives, potentially heralding a new era of cryptocurrency adoption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Didid Noordiatmoko, head of Indonesia's Commodity Futures Trading Authority (Bappebti<\/a>), said that the country aims to launch a state-backed cryptocurrency exchange by mid-year. According to Noordiatmoko, the most difficult part for Indonesian authorities in this process is the inability to define a certain standard for the exchange. However, the exchange will be run by a private company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts and investors believe that the launch of a state-backed electronic exchange will accelerate the development of cryptocurrency stock exchanges in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indonesia Will Have Its Own Practical Crypto Exchange In 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Setting the time is an important act of the Indonesian government in building its own exchange. In addition, the government of this country also established a system of regulations to avoid risks and protect customers in this country. The government had previously planned to launch the exchange by the end of 2022, which was delayed due to internal reasons and FTX's problems with the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Along with the Indonesian exchange, there are plans to develop a cryptocurrency of its own. This currency is forecasted to be used in life, transportation, and economic categories, which will be launched after the development of the broker is completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooks Entwistle, Managing Director of APAC and MENA and Senior Vice President of Customer Success at Ripple, disclosed in a recent interview <\/a>that Ripple is discussing with over 20 central banks regarding creating a Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a> (CBDC). This revelation highlights Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and its role in shaping the future of digital currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Interaction with regulators is \"invaluable\"<\/em>, according to the executive. Ripple engages with regulators worldwide to design custom CBDC solutions for smaller countries. While larger countries like China and the U.S. develop their CBDCs through the public sector, countries like Singapore, Tokyo, Switzerland, and the U.K. are turning to Ripple for tailored solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entwistle highlighted that every country and the central bank has unique needs, that \"there are 200-plus countries out there\"<\/em> and a \"lot of central banks\"<\/em> worldwide. According to him, Ripple is \"in dialogue with not ten, not twenty, but a bunch more central banks around the world.\"<\/em> The company has already announced<\/a> projects with Bhutan and Palau. He believes this highlights the growing interest in tailored CBDC solutions for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripple's dedication to CBDC development and tailored solutions is one aspect of its efforts to transform the cross-border payments space. With its global network RippleNet, the company aims to solve one of the last great financial puzzles in the world. As Ripple expands its policy team and continues to engage with regulators and central banks worldwide, the future of digital currencies and cross-border payments is sure to be shaped by the innovative solutions offered by Ripple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 22, Hong Kong announced an investment of $6.3 million to develop the Web 3 ecosystem here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Paul Chan, Hong Kong's Finance Minister, said the government will allocate HKD 50 million (about $6.37 million) to build the Web3 ecosystem. This was presented by him in the annual report at the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Chan commented that Web3 is in the startup stage with great potential. Therefore, Hong Kong needs to \"catch up with the times and seize the golden opportunity<\/em>\" to lead innovation development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
In the coming time, Hong Kong plans to set up and run a task force on virtual asset development with members from policy agencies, financial regulators, and market participants. The aim is to make recommendations to strengthen the industry's strong and sustainable development.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also a rare opportunity for Web 3 companies in Hong Kong, previously Hong Kong has announced that it will attract and support more than 1000 start-ups<\/a> in this field.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This is also the step that Chan has set for Hong Kong to become Asia's cryptocurrency center<\/a>.

The bond, issued under the Electronic Securities Act in 2021, has a maturity of one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

Germany's largest industrial manufacturing company Siemens has issued<\/a> a digital bond on a public blockchain, making it one of the pioneer companies in the European country to adopt blockchain technology. The bond has a volume of \u20ac60 million ($64 million) and a maturity period of one year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the benefits of issuing a bond on a public blockchain is that it makes paper-based global certificates and central clearance unnecessary, notes the announcement. It also provides a means for corporations to sell bonds directly to customers without intermediaries.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting in a press release, Ralf Thomas, the Chief Financial Officer of Siemens AG, said: \u2018\u2018with our innovative products and technologies, Siemens supports the digital transformation of its customers with great success. It is therefore logical that we test and utilize the latest digital solutions in finance, too<\/em>.\u2019\u2019 Siemens has become one of the latest corporations to issue a bond of such a kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speed, Efficiency, and Disintermediation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Issuing digital bonds on a blockchain is notably faster than traditional bonds, another advantage the company said was at the center of its operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018\u2018By moving away from paper and toward public blockchains for issuing securities, we can execute transactions significantly faster and more efficiently than when issuing bonds in the past. Thanks to our successful cooperation with our project partners, we have reached an important milestone in the development of digital securities in Germany,\u2019<\/em>\u2019 said Peter Rathgeb, Corporate Treasurer at Siemens AG. Some of Siemens\u2019 clients that have already signed up for the digital bond include DekaBank, DZ Bank, and Union Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Germany is considered one of the most crypto-friendly countries. Since the introduction of its Electronic Securities Act in 2021<\/a>, most regional corporations have been able to issue blockchain-based digital bonds. The Act positioned Berlin strategically in the digital asset space, including the Decentralized Finance (DeFi)<\/a> ecosystem.<\/p>\n","post_title":"German Tech Giant Siemens Issues Digital Bond Worth $64M on Public Blockchain","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"german-tech-giant-siemens-issues-digital-bond-worth-64m-on-public-blockchain","to_ping":"","pinged":"\nhttps:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/defi\/","post_modified":"2023-04-10 17:34:01","post_modified_gmt":"2023-04-10 07:34:01","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9928","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9915,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-15 10:52:38","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:38","post_content":"\n
India has brought to light several issues relating to cryptocurrencies at the G20 summit, with the expectation of further developing the industry with the remaining 19 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is known that India will assume presidency<\/a> of the G20 summit until November 30, 2023, and is likely to hold more than 200 meetings. During this meeting, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman raised the great benefits of cryptocurrencies, promoting countries to develop together.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
India is working on enacting a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies in the country. However, the South Asian country has been criticised for its crypto-regulatory regime, with suggestions that the government is crippling the digital asset industry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
See Related:<\/em><\/strong> Indian Parliament Passes A 30% Crypto Tax Law<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
It is worth noting that the discussion seeks to examine the role of cryptocurrencies in the banking sector. The plan was announced during the G20 intergovernmental meeting on finance and central bank delegates in India.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
With Asian countries growing stronger day by day, such as Hong Kong<\/a>, Korea<\/a>, China<\/a> or Singapore, etc., this action of India is considered a turning point for this country if Nirmala Sitharaman's policy is effective. The result will make the crypto market, in particular, and the economy, in general, brighter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","post_title":"India Discusses Cryptocurrency At G20 Conference","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"india-discusses-cryptocurrency-at-g20-conference","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-02-15 10:52:51","post_modified_gmt":"2023-02-14 23:52:51","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=9915","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":9860,"post_author":"16","post_date":"2023-02-12 19:29:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-12 08:29:00","post_content":"\n
The South China Morning Post reported<\/a> that China had approved the construction of a Blockchain research centre in Beijing, building towards its goal to be a hub for blockchain within Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
This center will create links with universities here to create a large research system, thereby ensuring optimal operation of this center. At the same time, this also opens up unlimited development possibilities for students and researchers working in this field in Beijing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
The stated mission of this centre is to break through and develop current blockchain technologies. The research results will continue to be developed and re-applied to this industry in the \"country of billions of people\". In addition to in-depth research into blockchain, China wants to find ways to integrate it into people's daily lives and develop the country's economy and individual livelihoods.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
China has seven provinces developing this industry: Zhejiang, Chongqing, Beijing, Chongqing, Jinan, Guangzhou, Suzhou<\/a>, and Henan. Still, the favour of the Chinese government can be seen when deciding to build a research centre in the capital Beijing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n
This action of China comes when the country still has a \"lockdown\" order on cryptocurrencies. Recently, Chinese economist Huang Yiping urged the government<\/a> to re-evaluate its cryptocurrency ban - citing long-term backlash.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
