HSBC settled FX transactions worth quarter of a trillion of dollars using blockchain
HSBC, one of the world’s largest banks, settled forex deals worth $250 billion last year, as it said on Monday. The British bank settled over 3 million FX trades and 150 thousands of payments using blockchain technology. Although, the bank did not reveal the same information related to FX trades being settled in a traditional way, it said that blockchain-settled deals represented only a small part. Nevertheless, such data and figures may be another evidence that blockchain technology is gaining larger and larger adoption among financial institutions.
Ethereum (ETHEREUM on xStation5) , like its bigger peer Bitcoin, experienced a rise yesterday. However, yesterday’s gains did not manage to recoup all latest drops. Moreover, Tuesday has not been so optimistic, and Ethereum has seen a slight drop so far. Source: xStation5
Danish Tax Agency to collect user data from crypto exchanges
The Danish Tax Agency called the Skattestyrelsen, which is an agency under the Denmark’s Ministry of Taxation, has obtained a permission to collect user data from local cryptocurrency exchanges. Furthermore, it informed that this is the first time when the Agency gets such access. As a result, the Danish Tax Agency could obtain information regarding trades, names, addresses, and CPR numbers (i.e. a Denmark’s personal identification number) of crypto traders.
Ripple (RIPPLE on xStation5) has overtaken Ethereum in terms of market cap recently once again, but its dominance could be described as rather symbolic. Source: xStation5
