Major Headlines

 

First EU Blockchain Securities Depository

Setl has been approved by the French financial regulatory body to operate a central securities depository.

Air Canada To Integrate Blockchain

A blockchain travel ecosystem called Winding Tree will facilitate a new process for inventory, distribution and transactions of all of Air Canada’s travel related products. Air Canada is the largest operating airline in Canada. This could include anything from special flight tickets, physical products for traveling, food and beverages or even digital content. The network will likely bring lower prices because consumers will be able to transact directly with the supplier, rather than their being intermediaries slowing down payments and raising costs. Winding Tree is a decentralized, open-source platform meaning any activity on their network are publicly viewable.

 

Sony Designs Bitcoin Wallet

The Research and Development department of Sony in Japan has designed a novel form of Bitcoin wallet. The wallet is uses IC smart card technology to produce a contactless wallet. This means the data of the wallet don’t need to be connected to the internet, or even connected to a device via a usb connection. The storage method for generating and storing private keys on the device are claimed to be highly tamper-proof. But data storage is not limited to Bitcoin, as the device has the capacity to store permissioned key storage for things like personal contact or identity information. Sony has not said whether the device will be launched as a product for public distribution.
