Swedish fintech Safello continues its growth journey and announces that it has acquired Rational Money AB, the company behind Bitcoin.se, Sweden’s leading educational portal on cryptocurrencies.

For almost a decade, Bitcoin.se has played a vital role in informing and educating the Swedish public about topics related to cryptocurrencies and their surrounding ecosystem. Since 2012, the site has been the leading independent portal in Swedish for information, news and discussion about cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and economics.

In 2018, Bitcoin.se was introduced to the international audience with an English version. Behind the company is the founder David Hedqvist , one of Scandinavia’s foremost crypto evangelists, a Bitcoin enthusiast and board member of the Swedish Bitcoin Association. The journalistic integrity of Bitcoin.se will be safeguarded by David Hedqvist, who will remain as editor-in-chief and an active contributor.

“David has been a strong advocate for the Swedish cryptocurrency market. In the past, he led the court case that set the regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies on VAT for the EU, an effort Safello at the time sponsored. We are excited for David to continue his journey together with Safello,” said Frank Schuil , CEO of Safello.

The acquisition comes after a successful partnership period between Safello and Bitcoin.se, where the latter has used Safello’s Partner Widget product. Bitcoin.se contributed to trades generating a significant part of Safello’s turnover during the past six months.

In connection with the Bitcoin.se acquisition, Safello is expecting to see significant synergies that are likely to increase Safello’s profitability and create opportunities for new customer generation and continued growth.

“After 9 years as a one-man project I felt that Bitcoin.se deserved to be taken to the next level, but it was important to me that it was done in a way that didn’t compromise on its core values. My relation with Safello over the last few years has been one of mutual respect and I’m convinced that they are just the right company to take on the task,” said David Hedqvist, founder of Bitcoin.se and CEO of Rational Money AB.

Safello, backed by reputable investors, including Digital Currency Group (DCG) , Northzone and White Star Capital, is in full swing with its plans to be listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during Q2 2021.

Recently, the company announced a strategic partnership with Klarna and a handful of key recruitments, including Johan Edin as Chief Financial Officer and Swedish crypto profile Gina Pari as Client Director.

Safello is an online cryptocurrency brokerage. Regulated as a financial institution with Finansinspektionen (Swedish FSA), Safello offers a secure way to buy and sell crypto, in seamless transactions at industry-leading speeds.

Partners integrate Safello’s brokerage solution to their web and mobile applications.

In 2015, Safello made international headlines, following a proof-of-concept partnership with Barclays, making it the world’s first crypto player to partner up with a major bank to explore cryptocurrencies. Operational since 2013 in Sweden, Safello is driving crypto adoption for users, with a safe, efficient and user-friendly platform.

In simple terms, RenVM, released in May 2020, is a network of virtual computers that powers interoperability for decentralized applications, enabling cross-chain lending, exchanging, and collateralization of digital assets. The machines are called Darknodes, which earn rewards for contributing computing resources and storage space.

The goal of the network is to enable the permissionless exchange of value between blockchains and bringing interoperability to the DeFi space. Tokens can be minted and wrapped using its RenBridge platform.

Its best-known product is renBTC, an ERC-20 token built on the Ethereum network and pegged to Bitcoin. According to btconethereum.com, there are currently 13,300 BTC tokenized via the protocol, worth an estimated $476 million at today’s prices. This represents 9% of the total of all wrapped Bitcoin.

The protocol has just recorded a milestone of $2 billion in volume processed over the past seven months.

— $REN (@Rentards) January 12, 2021

In a 2020 review report, it added that this volume had locked over $375 million in cross-chain assets, bonded over $50 million REN tokens by 1,500 nodes, and paid almost $2 million in fees to these nodes. It added;

“The cross-chain assets moved between chains by RenVM have also seen wide adoption into different DeFi applications, including Curve, KeeperDAO, MyEtherWallet, and the DeFi Bridge.”

In the first quarter of 2021, the Ren development team plans to roll out its RenVM Sub-Zero 0.3.0-alpha version upgrade to its testnet. A group of node operators known within the Ren community as the “Greycore” will ultimately operate the network once it goes live to mainnet.

The next phase in the Ren roadmap is “Zero,” which is the maturity phase for RenVM when it will become fully decentralized.

The REN token is up 7.9% on the day, trading at $0.364 at the time of writing. It peaked in early September 2020 during the DeFi boom when it reached just below $0.60.

Over the past seven days, REN has made 18% and over the past thirty days, around 37%. Since the same time last year, the token has made a whopping 750%, and it could well go higher as the project evolves and DeFi continues to grow.

Blockchain intelligence platform Chainalysis recently launched a new data-driven portal offering comprehensive tracking of digital currencies worldwide. The new tool will be available under the ‘Market Intel’ brand name.

Chainalysis will be depending on its various data repositories to cater to the needs of regulators and asset managers. It will be publishing live data as well as insights on the use of digital currencies as well as “the health and growth of the cryptocurrency markets.”

The team of programmers and data scientists at the firm will be leveraging a broad range of quantitative data sources which includes cryptocurrency exchanges and blockchain data sources. It will also clarify and present the view of the blockchain and crypto ecosystem. The compliance software could be used by both cryptocurrency firms as well as law enforcement agencies which can use it to detect suspicious activity to fight against criminal activity in the industry.

The tool uses pattern recognition, algorithms, and several million open source references to “identify and categorize thousands of cryptocurrency services to raise live alerts on transactions involved in suspicious activity.” The company also says that it providing data insights into the cryptocurrency activity will be useful for exchanges, government agencies as well as financial institutions which will fuel the growth of the industry.

Jonathan Levin, the co-founder, and chief strategy officer of Chainalysis said that the company was founded on the belief that both financial institutions and governments need a trusted platform for data to become comfortable with digital currencies. This will eventually be helpful in the mainstream adoption of the new asset class.

Chainalysis will be providing both context and metrics for digital currency activity. It will empower both asset managers and regulators in leveraging the transparency of blockchains that make data-driven decisions on making crypto investments and ensure markets work efficiently and safely.

Philip Gradwell, the chief economist of Chainalysis said that crypto is poised to become mainstream but regulators need access to data to gain insights into the market and learn how they could go to meaningfully invest in this space.

American mathematician and economistEric Weinstein recently interviewed Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin on his popular YouTube show The Portal.While I personally think Weinstein did not fully understand what Ethereum is about and how it works,Vitalik was smart enough to shift the conversation to more interesting topics.In this article, Ill take a look at the good and the bad of the interview, available below, and discuss how I see Ethereum evolving.Ethereum is a sleeping giant Even though some people might think Im a Bitcoin maximalist due to my harsh stance on some of Ethereums promises and the foundations inability to keep them, my core belief is that Ethereum is a sleeping giant waiting to be woken up.Ethereum is an incredible network. Not only because of its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Solidity compiler or its easy-to-use developer interfaces (Mist, MyEtherWallet, and MetaMask), but also because of the quantity of projects being developed on top of its protocol.That is Ethereums killer application.Still, I am a firm believer that for Ethereum to become a fully decentralised world computer, its main focus should be on decentralisation.Im personally looking forward to both of the platforms upcoming Proof-of-Stake (PoS) implementations, Casper FFG and Casper CBC, in the hope that one of them increases scalability and decentralisation even though the trade-off is less long-term security.Nevertheless, I argue Bitcoins purpose is to be a store of value (perhaps one day P2P cash), meaning Ethereum shouldnt be worrying about that (even though ETH could potentially overtake BTC one day if its network upgrades are strong enough).With the development of a scalable PoS system and the implementation of sharding and ZK-snarks, we could really see Ethereum making an attempt to rule decentralised computing.Not only that, but the Ethereum Foundation is forming new partnerships with major players like Microsoft and Google in order to increase corporate adoption. The truth is that corporations are the ones capable of financing large-scale developments and training large quantities of people.The Ethereum ecosystem is also making strides to enhance Ethereums censorship resistance and privacy. Two examples of projects getting traction in these areas are ChainLink and Enigma.My stance is that Ethereum ticks all of the boxes to win most of the smart contract market share. Bitcoin is clearly not interested in that (a pity in my opinion), since the only altcoins being built over Bitcoin apparently exist solely on Liquid a centralised Bitcoin sidechain.Because Ethereum promotes open-source development and is capable of funding and assisting ERC projects, I see a great deal of developers looking to build DeFi dApps on the platform.Was Ethereums growth ethical? One of the most interesting and controversial points of the interview above is the fact Vitalik openly admits to selling ETH tokens to cover the cost of operations during the platforms early days.During the bull run of late 2017, Vitalik was apparently able to convince the Ethereum Foundation to sell a lump sum of about 70,000 ETH, over $80,000,000 at the time.Even though some people might not see a problem with that I know I dont the truth is open-source projects like Ethereum should be straightforward with investors, especially when the message from the founding team at the time was well decentralise everything.I believe the correct approach to be Litecoin founder Charlie Lees one of openly stating how much LTC he sold during that time. If projects want to captivate investors, they should maintain high standards of openness.To conclude, I dont think dumping coins on investors at the top to finance the project long term was a bad move, especially since the market was seriously overbought. However, since the project is open source, the amounts should have been disclosed much sooner.The post Vitalik Buterin discusses Ethereum on The Portal with Eric Weinstein appeared first on Coin Rivet.

The freelancing eco-system has come of age over the past decade. Originally, the users of these global contractor job sites were considered misfits or outcasts from the corporate mainstream, but the digital nomad rocketship has taken flight. In the U.S. alone, recent studies peg 36% of the U.S. workforce, some 57 million people, as freelancers, earning a few extra bucks on the side and adding $1.4 trillion to the economy. The phenomena, however, is global, which is where cryptos can play a role.Yes, cryptos and blockchain technology have much to offer this fellow nascent industry. From smart contracts to more secure and lower cost payment methodologies, cryptos and freelancing portals seem to be a match made in heaven, not to mention that many of these sites are searching for blockchain programming talent, as well.This growing eco-system seems to match the nature of a globally inter-connected economy, as well. According to CoinCentral:63% of freelancers stated they freelance by choice, an 18% jump from 2014 to 2017. Additionally, 63% of freelancers noted that they prefer the security of a diversified portfolio of clients rather than a single employer.Who are these specialized websites? The rise of this economy has spawned the growth of a host of intermediaries that connect freelancers with potential clients. Whereas the early entrants may have been Guru and Freelancer, the market has broadened significantly. Newer names like Upwork, Toptal, Fiverr, and PeopleperHour now proliferate the space. Upwork is a merger of two older systems, but it has over 9 million registered users in 180 countries with annual turnover of $1 billion in user billings.These find-a-job-and-bid websites are highly competitive, not cheap, and not without risk, but blockchain technology and cryptos can make the experience better. Smart contracts offer an easy way to set up payment agreements between parties and allow the escrow agent to quickly approve items for payment, but what about getting paid in Bitcoin?What does a freelancer need to know, i.e., the Pros and the Cons? Pros Low Cost Cross-border Payments: Bitcoin and its blockchain platform were made for the cross-border payment market. Banks are out of the picture. No conversion fees, markups, etc., just a small transaction fee;More Efficient and Secure: The blockchain is secure, and transfers are instantaneous, although confirmations can take minutes or sometimes an hour or two, but it runs circles around waiting two days or more with banks;Expanded Access to Jobs: Freelance job websites are shifting to newer technologies for similar reasons. There are also a number of blockchain startups that are entering the fray, as well. As this shift occurs, it behooves everyone to get on board the train and broaden their access horizons.Cons Bitcoin Volatility: Bitcoin and its altcoin brethren are known for their volatility in the marketplace. As the eco-system matures, however, volatility will moderate. You may need to understand investments and when the best times are to close a position, since your payments could go up or down in value over time;Converting to Fiat: Eventually you will want to convert your payments to your domestic fiat currency. If your exchange is located in your country, then the cost will be minimal, but if your exchange is overseas, you may incur banking fees;Tax Liabilities: Depending on your taxing jurisdiction, being paid in Bitcoin can require more recordkeeping, if the payments are taxable. You will need to have the date, amount, and conversion rate to fiat currency on payment date in order to report and determine your ultimate tax liability.Will blockchain driven freelancer-platforms dominate the future? This technology has the potential to make the process more efficient and, thereby, cheaper, but the status quo might resist too much innovation too quickly. In any event, disruptive technologies have a way of making the world a better place. It just takes time.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in Thailand has approved the country’s first initial coin offering (ICO) portal and is likely to tackle the approval of securities tokens offerings (STO) soon, according to a local daily news outlet Bangkok Post.While the Thai SEC has approved the ICO portal, it has yet to officially launch because it is awaiting final approval from other government agencies like the Commerce Ministry. However, the ICO portal will reportedly be approved by these agencies soon and launch in the near future.Thailand’s impending ICO portal will allow authorities to properly screen ICOs, conduct due diligence, prove smart contract source codes, and conduct know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. Per the report, the operator of the ICO portal is a foreign company which has yet to be named.Providing input on Thailand’s regulatory environment and the approval of Thailand’s ICO portal was Archari Suppiroj, director of the fintech department at the SEC.According to Suppiroj, the ICO market has matured since 2017 and is beginning to graduate from intangible project ideas to ICOs that are physically backed by assets such as real estate. She then stated that it’s important for ICO investors to understand the key elements of what they’re investing in.With the SEC-approved ICO portal, Suppiroj hopes to provide investors with the knowledge of what they’re investing in, including the rights of an asset as well as the risks and limitations.Moreover, last December the Thai SEC announced plans to loosen the rules for barriers of entry to ICOs. As stated by Tipsuda Thavaramara, the General Secretary of the Thai SEC:“The proposed guideline is an attempt to find greater equilibrium in the regulatory process and reduce regulatory impediments while taking risk management and investor protection into account.”Apart from the approval of an ICO portal, Suppiroj noted that the launching of an STO will still be strictly prohibited, as securities-related transactions fall under different laws.She then stated that those interested in the digitization of asset types such as securities, and who would like to launch an STO, will need to apply for a license approved by the Securities and Exchange Act.However, she also noted that the process for launching an STO may soon become a lot easier in Thailand:“In the future, the [Thai] SEC will issue a criterion that allows companies to apply tokenization to securities and other assets. This will help bridge the digital asset royal decree and securities… The next step is for an issuer to offer security tokens in the primary market.”Therefore, it appears Thailand is on its way to becoming a leading destination for innovative cryptocurrency companies, as they have a favorable regulatory environment that appears to foster innovation.Do you think the ICO market will ever be as big or even bigger than it was in 2017? Will STOs be more popular than ICOs in 2019 and beyond? Let us know what you think in the comment section below. Hot News Jeremy is a financial writer and aspiring investor.

Thailand’s First ICO Portal Approved by The Thai SECAccording to a recent report, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Thailand has approved the country’s first platform for initial coin offerings (ICO). The main goal of this ICO portal will be to perform due diligence on new crypto tokens, ensure that a crypto token listed on the portal is consistent with its whitepaper, screen all listed tokens, and verify the know-your-customer process.The original report was posted by one of the country’s major news outlets, the Bangkok post earlier this week. A statement in the report says, “ICO portals help screen ICOs, conduct due diligence, prove smart contract source codes and verify the know-your-customer process.”Despite such a reliable source being the origin of this news, the official website of the country’s financial regulatory organization doesn’t show any ICO issuer or ICO portal approved. Apparently, the platform has been approved by the Thai SEC but needs to be approved by other governmental regulatory agencies too. Director of the financial technology division of the securities regulators Archari Suppiroj told the Bangkok Post, “Thailand’s first authorized ICO portal is being finalized for official approval with the relevant government agencies such as the Commerce Ministry.”The Thai SEC, being the core crypto regulator of the country, noted that any interested ICO projects will need to be approved by a certified ICO portal before being granted approval by the regulatory commission. The website also specified the eligibility of investors in initial coin offerings in the country.Venture capitalist firms and private equity funds can invest in initial coin offerings. Apart from them, institutions and high net worth individuals who have at minimum 70 million baht worth of assets or at least 25 million baht worth of investment can also invest. Moreover, individual investors who wish to invest in retail can invest up to 300,000 baht per ICO.As per the report by the Bangkok Post, Archari Suppiroj mentioned that about 7 or 8 crypto companies have had pre-consultations with the country’s securities regulator to operate an ICO portal. The director did not reveal the names of the interested companies. However, she did note that the company approved to operate Thailand’s first ICO portal is a foreign organization.At press time, Bitherb Company Limited is the only foreign company that is approved by the Thai SEC to operate digital currency business in Thailand. Bitherb is a large-scale joint venture between Asia Her Association Bangkok Company Limited and Bitpoint Japan – a Japanese crypto exchange. Bitpoint Japan had also recently announced that the company has applied for a license with the SEC to operate an ICO portal in the country.At the time of writing, there are only three digital asset exchange operators approved to conduct cryptocurrency exchange business in the country. The three companies are Bitkub Online Co. Ltd., Bitcoin Co. Ltd., and Satang Corp. Additionally, Coins Thailand Co. Ltd. has also been approved to practice digital asset dealing and brokering in Thailand.Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

The Thai regulator is trying to create a fair market for the new-age funding technique where any players – big or small – will have a similar advantage.“The next step is for an issuer to offer security tokens in the primary market,” the director added.The Thai market regulator announced the development of a dedicated ICO portal in last November, as reported by Finance Magnates, which was supposed to go live in the next month. However, even with the delay, it is considered to be a major step towards putting the digital assets in the mainstream.Last month, the watchdog banned the use of three major cryptocurrencies – Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum Classic – from being used in ICOs, only allowing Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Stellar to be used.Finance Magnates is a global B2B provider of multi-asset trading news, research and events with special focus on electronic trading, banking, and investing.Copyright © 2019 "Finance Magnates Ltd."

The first initial coin offering (ICO) portal in Thailand has been approved by the country’s securities regulator, the Bangkok Post reported.According to the report, the first ICO portal that allows confirming smart contract source codes, screening ICOs, conducting Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures and performing due diligence was authorized the by board of directors of Thai Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC). A foreign entity will operate the ICO portal.The director of fintech department at the SEC, Archari Suppiroj, announced the development stating that ICO portal has been finalized for approval with concerned government agencies like the Commerce Ministry. Under the digital asset royal decree, first ICO deal will be available for the public offering in the near future.Suppiroj maintained that the ICO market has now evolved from intangible ideas and projects to the ICOs supported by physical assets. In future, criteria for allowing companies to tokenize securities and other assets will be issued by the SEC.The Thai SEC’s initial plan was to launch a fully operational ICO portal by November 2018. It was expecting to approve each ICO offering by December 2018.Last year, it declared that it was planning to consider certain exemptions for ICOs. However, caps on participation will still be enforced. At that time, the general secretary of the Thai SEC, Tipsuda Thavaramara, stated that proposed guidelines were aiming at finding a balance in reduced regulatory impediments and regulatory process, taking into account investor protection and risk management.Telegram Alerts from BitcoinNews.com: https://t.me/bconewsWant to advertise or get published on BitcoinNews.com? – View our Media Kit PDF here.Get the best viral stories straight into your inbox!California, a state known for the divisive nature of water politics courtesy of the omnipr…Get the best viral stories straight into your inbox!
