Major Headlines
Blockchain For Ethical Finance In U.K.
Responsible Finance & Investment (RFI) Foundation is a
non-profit with the goal of bringing together various forms of
responsible finance practices to encourage consensus as the basis
for standards, practices and regulations. The organization will now
work to incorporate a blockchain tool for tracking companies’
sustainable commitments. Public blockchains use a ledger of
transactions that is totally transparent for anyone to look at.
This will highlight in real time when ethical credentials are not
upheld. This is especially beneficial for tracking standards of
what is considered “green” or where donations are actually going.
The system will hopefully help curb “greenwashing,” where companies
actions don’t match how ethical or environmentally friendly they
claim to be.
CTFC Questions Smart Contract Developers
Brian Quintenz of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has
addressed the question of accountability regarding smart contracts.
Blockchain technology has created an entirely new mode of operation
for financial interactions and supply chain management systems.
However, the problems highlighted by the CTFC show continued lack
of understanding, and potentially a new era of financial regulatory
practices. One of the primary goals of public cryptocurrencies is
to remove intermediaries. Government regulatory bodies such as the
CTFC operate as nothing other than intermediaries. One examples in
question are who is to blame if code is written into a smart
contract where the developer is aware that an overseas user would
be breaking U.S. law by using the contract. Another is can code
written to provide investment incite constitute advice given by the
individual who coded the program.
Binance Partners with Chainlysis
Binance is partnering with Chainalysis to create a new global
compliance solution for their exchange platform. Chainalysis will
provide service of their "Know Your Transaction" compliance
software. This enables the exchange to monitor cryptocurrency
transactions in real-time. The primary goal is to identify and
prevent criminal or otherwise illicit activity such as money
laundering.
