The South Korean government has taken new measures to curb the speculative trading on cryptocurrency exchanges. They will include a ban on opening of anonymous cryptocurrency trading accounts and new laws that will allow regulators to close cryptocurrency exchanges, if needed.
“The government had warned several times that virtual coins cannot play a role as actual currency and could result in high losses due to excessive volatility,” the government said in a statement

In some places the decisions are made by financial regulators, in others - by religious leaders, it seems.
Egypt’s Grand Mufti Sheik Shawki Allam has issued a fatwa against trading in cryptocurrencies. According to the religious ruling that technically does not have a legal binding, Bitcoin is forbidden by Sharia law, as it “causes harm to individuals, groups and institutions”.
Furthermore, the Mutfti notes, the cryptocurrencies should not be used in transactions, because they are not recognized as a financial instrument by Egypt’s c-bank.

Kodak, still known for its significant contributions to photography and film, announced it is venturing into cryptocurrency territory with the launch of the cryptocurrency KODAKCoin and the image rights management platform KODAKOne, in partnership with WENN Digital.

KODAKOne will utilize the blockchain technology to create an encrypted digital ledger of rights ownership of photos – old and new – and will let photographers to license them on the platform.

Everyone wants piece of the cryptocurrency pie, it seems. :shock:

The South Korean saga with the possible ban on cryptocurrency exchanges and trading in the second largest (by volume) market in the world continues and apparently the government is still on the fence on the matter.

Yet another series of contradictory messages from various South Korean ministers, however, have caused the Bitcoin to lose over 21% of its price on Thursday. Other major cryptocurrencies also lost a significant portion of their value. Since then the prices have recovered.

It all started with a statement of the justice minister Park Sang-ki who said the government was preparing a bill to ban trading of the virtual currency on domestic exchanges.

China will be making even more attempts to ban cryptocurrencies, it seems. According to anonymous “people familiar with the matter”, the government is planning to block access to online platforms and mobile applications that offer “exchange-like services” - both local and offshore. The description, however, is quite vague and it is not clear what exactly the authorities mean.

Authorities will also target individuals and companies that provide market-making, settlement and clearing services for centralized trading. Small peer-to-peer transactions aren’t being targeted, they said.

Cryptocurrency news:::

VeChain is an extremely interesting blockchain project that has been recommended everywhere. What exactly is Vechain? How does it work and why is it so interesting? We will explain everything about Vechain.

What is VECHAIN (VEN/VET)
Vechain is a platform that is designed to enhance supply chain management processes. VeChain provides retailers and consumers with the ability to determine the quality and authenticity of products that are bought. The most important factor is confirming the authenticity of (mainly) luxurious products and also giving all kinds of background information about the product. This is done with the aid of the Vechain Smart Chip, a kind of NFC chip in the product you buy. Think for example of fake Ray-Ban sunglasses, it is often very difficult to see if this is a real or a counterfeit if you are not an expert.

Example of usage:
With VeChain you could scan the glasses and immediately see if they really come from Ray-Ban or not. Furthermore, you could the check the builder, the material, the origin of those materials or the age of the product.

Product authenticity:
Fake products, one of the biggest problems currently when it comes to luxury products. If VeChain actually succeeds in ensuring that a consumer can see whether a product is authentic or not, then this is a very interesting project. VeChain has already entered into various partnerships with luxury brands and the CEO of VeChain, Sunny Lu, is the former CIO of Louis Vuitton in China.

Product ID:
Confirming the authenticity of products is not the only thing. For example, VeChain can also give products an ID. For example, a car can be identified on the basis of this ID, this digital profile then contains all the data about the car. From when it was last tinkled to how many kilometers it has driven already. This information can then be passed on to authorities such as insurance in a simple way.

Working product example:
VeChain already has a working product at the moment, as can be seen in this video by Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Vechain currently has solutions for the following markets:
-Luxury goods
-Drinks
-Cars
-Retail
-Logistics
-Cold chain logistics
-Agricultural goods

Rebranding to Vechain Thor
VeChain will soon change the name into Vechain Thor. This will happen at a special rebranding event in Singapore on February 26, 2018. The name change should actually be completed in mid-January, but this has been delayed. You can read the full official announcement here.
