SBI Ripple Asia, a venture under development with Ripple and SBI Holdings since 2017, has obtained a license from Japan’s Finance Ministry to launch blockchain-based MoneyTap app. Japanese regulators have granted the two companies permission to process, handle, and transmit digital payments as an official “Electronic Settlement Agency Service Provider.”

Following the news XRP temporarily surpassed Ethereum in market cap.

SBI Holdings, Japanese financial giant, will launch ’S Coin’ token in a test mode next month. The coin will be used for mobile payments. SBI employees are the first users to try it out in local restaurants.

Samsung Electronics in partnership with Squire Mining Ltd. will manufacture next-generation 10nm ASIC chips to mine bitcoin.

Circle, an American payment company, has launched a new stable coin, dollar-pegged USD Coin (USDC), developed with the support of CENTRE consortium, “an emerging consortium that is defining standards and policies for fiat stablecoinse.”

USDC is now trading on Poloniex, the crypto-to-crypto exchange Circle acquired in February 2018, and on Circle Trade, the company’s over-the-counter (OTC) platform.

Bitfinex, Hong-Kong crypto exchange, plans to launch the beta version of EOSfinex this November. This is a high-performance, decentralised exchange built on EOSIO. The main net is expected to go live as early as January 2019.
