Major Headlines

More Funding From The Big Guys

Axoni just finished a second round of funding, collecting $32 million. The round was led by none Goldman Sachs, with portions from Nyca Partners, Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Andreessen Horowitz (billionaire who started a $300 million cryptocurrency fund in June).

Big banks like these are getting into the cryptocurrency space through funding, patents of their own technology and workarounds to trading Bitcoin with futures. Axion has created novel applications of blockchain technology to market data for financial organizations. Their founding projects are equity swaps and credit derivatives, foreign exchange post-trade synchronization and universal reference data for financial firms. Could funding from traditional companies like this turn the bear market around?

Playboy Blockchain Dispute

Playboy is suing Global Blockchain Technologies for breaking their contract to integrate cryptocurrency payment into their digital media platforms, but denies the charges. The agreement was a $4 million payment to Playboy to license the Playboy brand in their promotional materials in exchange for creating a digital wallet for the Vice Token (VIT) on Playboy.tv and providing technical support to Playboy. But this also included a marketing process to "rebrand the VIT website as more generally video/entertainment-oriented." This would be a drastic change, as VIT is openly focused on the internet adult entertainment business.

Jamaican Stock Exchange Added Cryptocurrency

By the end of this year, the Jamaican stock exchange plans to have regulation and technology in place to bring cryptocurrencies to their national stock exchange. They have partner with the Toronto, Canada based company Blockstation to integrate a new platform. “So the end game at the end of the day is to trade tokens, the end game is smart contracts, the end game is to provide that area of the market that would like this product, to start to do so in a secure manner.” - Street Forrest Managing Director of the exchange
