Vale completes first sale of iron ore using blockchain technology with Nanjing Iron & Steel

  • Vale, one of the world’s largest mining companies, completed its first sale of iron ore using blockchain technology with Nanjing Iron & Steel Group International Trade Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Nanjing Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (NISCO) for a cargo of 176,000 tons of Brazilian Blend Fines (BRBF) from Teluk Rubiah Maritime Terminal, in Malaysia, to China.
  • Vale said this transaction is aligned with its strategy of becoming a more innovative and customer-centered company through greater integration with clients and partnering for the development of new solutions.

Vale also called it an important milestone towards the digitalization of the sales and trade process, bringing innovation to the traditional paper-intensive trade transactions and offering a better service to the clients as well as predictability in the steel value chain.

The Letter of Credit (LC) was issued through the Contour blockchain platform while the shipping documents and the electronic Bill of Lading were handled via essDOCS’ CargoDocs solution—with all actions carried out through a single, interfaced platform consolidated in Contour. The transaction also had the support from DBS Bank Ltd and Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia Berhad.

The integrated transaction enabled end-to-end security and transparency with real time visibility of the documentation to all stakeholders, drastically reducing the amount of emails and paperwork exchanged among the parties and providing enhanced user experience through access to a single solution to execute the trade.

Blockchain platform verifies health for 17M Chinese tourists in 1 month

  • A blockchain-based health records system is gradually making it possible for mainland China to resume cross-border tourism to Macao
  • The platform makes it easy and fast for tourists from mainland China to verify their health status when entering Macao, taking just 3 seconds
  • While it has only been in use for one month, it has processed health data for 17 million people

By: Steve Kaaru

The Macao blockchain health code launched in May 2020, relying on the technology to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. It serves as an electronic pass for residents to access public places. A few months later, Macao expanded it to add the mutual recognition mechanism with the health code system in Guangdong province in China.

The health code is built on China’s open-source blockchain platform FISCO BCOS. In a press release, the nonprofit revealed the impact the platform has had, including reviving tourism between mainland China and Macao. The latter had suspended tourist visa application in January this year in light of the pandemic.

According to the organization, since its launch on September 23, more than 17 million people have used it to clear customs between Chinese mainland and Macao.

It further revealed, “The average time of receiving, transforming, and generating the health code for the first time is only 100 seconds. And it will only take less than 3 seconds to complete the procedure when traveler clears customs again.”

The blockchain platform has solved a critical challenge—the privacy protection regulations in China and Macao. While health officials need to verify health information for those crossing the border, they must not exchange data directly with each other. Blockchain allows the authorities to encrypt the personal health data and record it securely. Once a user shares this data at the border, the health official can verify the integrity of the data by comparing with the corresponding digital credentials on the blockchain.

“In addition, the mutual recognition mechanism enables the seamless conversion of health codes for the users without the need to fill in personal information repeatedly on different platforms, offering great convenience and ease of use for cross-border travelers,” the organization added.

China has continued to adopt blockchain aggressively in recent years, both at a state and national level. As CoinGeek reported, Shenzhen city recently gave away $1.5 million in digital yuan to boost its adoption. The CBDC has now been used in over 3 million transactions, with 1.1 billion yuan ($160 million) exchanging hands.

Ethereum set to become first blockchain to settle $1 trillion in one year

  • According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.
  • If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.

By: Samuel Haig

The third-quarter decentralized finance boom has resulted in the Ethereum (ETH) network processing more than twice the daily transaction volume of Bitcoin (BTC).

According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.

If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.

Ethereum’s previous strongest calendar year relative to Bitcoin was 2018, when it processed half a billion in volume, which was 59% as much as Bitcoin’s $849 million that year.

Bitcoin is on-track for its second-strongest year behind 2018, projected to process $800 million. Yearly transaction value for Bitcoin and Ethereum: Messari

It’s not a straightforward comparison between the two blockchains, however. With the DeFi bubble largely taking place on top of Ethereum-powered smart contracts, the Ethereum network now processes the volume of an entire sector, while Bitcoin largely represents transfers of value denominated in BTC.

Messari’s Ryan Watkins attributes much of Ethereum’s volume spike to increased ERC-20 stablecoin volumes, with the majority of Tether (USDT) transactions now taking place on Ethereum and yield farming-driven demand pushing supply growth of more than 600% for MakerDAO’s Dai stablecoin.

Watkins also notes booming on-chain liquidity from decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap and Curve generating more than $20 billion in volume combined during September. DEXs now represent more than 13.6% of total exchange volumes.

However, Messari predicts “the next twelve months could come to define the platform wars” in crypto, noting Ethereum’s ongoing high fees as a problem that rival blockchains will seek to solve, alongside “the rise of parallel DeFi ecosystems.”

“Look for all would-be ETH Killers to continue to empty out their treasuries to build a parallel DeFi sector throughout the end of 2020 and beyond.”

In August, Chris Burniske, a partner at PlaceHolder Capital, asserted that Ethereum and Bitcoin are racing each other to reach the first $1 trillion market cap in crypto.

WHY BLOCKCHAIN?

Should you be investing in blockchain technology? We all remember the crash of “blockchain” stocks a couple of years back, which was actually a crash of blockchain pretenders who used the term to build stock promotions, as opposed to building actual blockchains.

Like the dot-com crash of 2000, which bankrupted “dot-com” companies but gave birth to the likes of Google, Amazon, Linkedin because they built actual utility and value, the same can be expected of the blockchain crash and its’ resurgence.

But don’t take our word for it.  The quotes above came from some of the brightest minds on the planet: 

  • Jack Ma (Founder of Ali Baba –  Alibaba is the world’s largest retailer and e-commerce company)
  • Vitalik Buterin (Founder of Ethereum – 2nd largest digital currency on open source blockchain)
  • Jamie Dimon (CEO Of JP Morgan and the most forward thinking banker with respect to blockchain)

WHY BLOCKCHAIN FOUNDRY? THE “BLOCKCHAIN 2.0 COMPANY

  •  A leading North American blockchain development firm
  • 2020 H1 Revenue Of ~$900,000
    • 187% Year Over Year Growth
    • Positive Net Income
  • Self sustaining consulting practice with growing pipeline and potential upside from product development and commercialization
    • Development agreement with blockchain-based precious metal project (LODE Community) which has been consistently renewed since February 2019 at ~$60K per month
    • Completed development agreement with a large Canadian financial institution valued at approximately C$400,000; subsequently conducted an architectural project with the intention of providing advisory and/or development work for potential new deliverables related to the project.
  • Partnered with Binance, the largest digital asset trading platform in the world, to leverage the Syscoin platform.
  • A Blockchain company with Real Products, Real Customers, Real Revenues and Real Income
  • Blockchain Foundry is a “Blockchain 2.0” company that has survived and will thrive

  • Entered into an agreement for a drawdown equity financing facility of up to C$4 million over a 24-month period with Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. (“Alumina”), a subsidiary of Alumina Partners LLC, a New York-based private equity firm
  • Investment Agreement provides BCF with fast and flexible access to capital as required. Under the Investment Agreement, the Company has the right to draw down on the facility, at its sole discretion, through tranches of equity private placements of up to C$250,000 each

TORONTO, Oct. 06, 2020 — Blockchain Foundry Inc. (“BCF” or the “Company”) (CSE:BCFN), a leading North American blockchain development firm, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) for a drawdown equity financing facility of up to C$4 million over a 24-month period with Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. (“Alumina”), a subsidiary of Alumina Partners LLC, a New York-based private equity firm.

The Investment Agreement provides BCF with fast and flexible access to capital as required. Under the Investment Agreement, the Company has the right to draw down on the facility, at its sole discretion, through tranches of equity private placements of up to C$250,000 each. Each tranche will consist of units (each, a “Unit”), with each Unit comprised of one common share of BCF (each, a “Share”) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”). The Units will be priced at a discount of 15% to 25% from the then most recent closing price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange at the time of the applicable Company drawdown notice to Alumina. The exercise price of the Warrants will be set at a 30% premium to the market price of the Shares and will have a term of three years from the date of issuance. Should the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Shares be greater than or equal to 100% of the exercise price of the Warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date by providing at least 30 days’ notice to Alumina. There are no standby charges or other upfront fees associated with the Investment Agreement.

A first tranche drawdown of $100,000 was completed concurrent with the execution of the Investment Agreement. The Company issued 952,381 Units at a price of $0.105 per Unit for gross proceeds of $100,000. Each Warrant in this tranche is exercisable into one additional common share at a price of $0.182.

The proceeds from the first drawdown will be used to add development and project management resources at the Company and for general corporate purposes.

“This Investment Agreement provides BCF with additional capital to accelerate our growth strategy and focus on commercialization of our blockchain-related IP. We have an exciting product roadmap and this capital will help us accelerate the timeline to commercialization,” said Dan Wasyluk, CEO of BCF.

“We are excited to support Blockchain Foundry as they advance the development of their product portfolio,” said Adi Nahmani, Alumina’s Managing Member. “Offerings like the Syscoin Ethereum bridge reduce the real cost of iterated transactions. Reducing transaction cost is critical to increasing scalability and encouraging the broader adoption of distributed ledger platforms. The Blockchain Foundry team combines technical expertise with a proven track record of collaborating with effective partners in the space, and we look forward to seeing them continue to transform academic whitepapers into practical, monetizable solutions.”

Traditional Stock Market’s interest in Cryptocurrency might expand the boundaries for the Cryto Market

By: Zaryab Afser

  • It’s a well-known fact that in order to survive longer, one must be completely aware of the rules as well as the latest trends of the jungle.
  • And one can never deny the fact, in these world of investment, cryptocurrencies are here to stay, really longer than one can think of.


It’s because of this fact that the senior market analyst at Etoro, Mati Greenspan “it’s finally happening that the institutions are finally realizing that cryptocurrencies are going to stay for yet too long and now they are actually looking for every possible way to seize the opportunities presented by crypto assets.” He also appreciates the recent JSE move and stated that this is actually the period where the adoption is gradually happening and the traditional stock exchanges are actually integrating with cryptocurrencies.

WHAT WAS THE MOVE BY JAMAICA STOCK EXCHANGE(JSE)?

3rd April witnessed a rare involvement of the traditional stock exchange when JSE came up with an announcement which stated that JSE will soon start a limited pilot to trade Bitcoin as well as Ethereum within the next few weeks.

Experts as well as traders, across the globe, firmly believe that this step will undoubtedly not only open the doors to cryptocurrency investment but also will end up expanding the boundaries for the crypto market. Moreover, the managing director of the JSE, Marlene, this initiative aims to create not only a safe but also efficient as well as a transparent regulatory framework for the trading of digital assets.

Since the world is witnessing a gradual shift towards the crypto market, JSE is not the only one to show interest in the cryptocurrency. The Nasdaq in the U.S. recently reported that it has listed BTC as well ETH indices, whereas XRP-based exchange-traded product has been listed by Switzerland’s main stock exchange, namely SIX.

Nearly 80 crypto projects supposedly backed by gold

  • Cryptocurrency projects backed by gold continue to persist, with around 77 of them remaining active right now.
  • Numerous gold-backed coins were launched in the last few years, with the most recent one being Tether’s Tether Gold (XAUt) which saw launch last week.
  • With the popularity of gold on the rise, many speculate whether it might return as the future of money thanks to decentralized technologies.

Everyone in the crypto community has heard Bitcoin’s alternative name of ‘digital gold.’ However, it is worth noting that there are nearly 80 other projects that are active right now, that are backed by actual physical gold.

More and more crypto projects continue to emerge with claims that their assets are backed by physical gold. According to recent data, there are around 77 active projects backed by gold right now, while around 30 others that claimed the same have failed.

Some examples of gold-backed projects that still around include Digixglobal’s DGX, Darico (DEC), the recently-announced Tether Gold (XAUt) Blockstock (BSO), GoldMint (MNTP), GramGold Coin (GGC), AurusGold (AWG), Cash Telex (CTLX), and many others.

Is gold the future of money?

Still, these projects only scratch the surface of the gold-backed altcoins in the crypto industry today, as many others were launched with the same idea in mind, some of which have even managed to fail already. As mentioned, around 30 such projects were launched over the years.

Despite this, many token developers are still not discouraged, and such coins continue to emerge, such as the coins launched by Coinshares, MKS, Blockchain.com, and Tether. Coinshares, headquartered in the UK, supposedly launched a coin backed by $20 million in gold.

Tether, the company behind the controversial stablecoin, USDT, also launched its own Tether Gold (XAUt) only last week, and it already got listed on Bitfinex on January 24th. According to the trading platform, XAUt owners enjoy the benefits of digital and physical assets alike.

The platform claims that this is a way for people to invest in gold without having to worry about issues like limited accessibility or storage costs.

However, some have already questioned projects like these, such as a known crypto supporter, John Paul Koning, who noted that these projects do not charge custody fees, but only redemption and trading fees. Koning wonders whether or not this is sustainable. Some have also questioned whether gold and not Bitcoin might be the future of money once more.

Attempts to pull it off were already made back in 1996 when they failed. Now, with decentralized technology that cryptocurrencies themselves utilize, gold might be getting another chance to take its old place as money in the e-gold form.
