As Freeport, Grand Bahama Island continues its quest to become the Silicon Valley of the Caribbean by hosting the 2018 Bahamas Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference its central bank has announced plans to pilot a digital currency.
 Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, the Hon. K. Peter Turnquest made the announcement during the conference as he spoke about his wishes for Grand Bahama to become a digital hub, saying:  “The production of a modern fully digital payment service is the way forward for this era of governance.”
 The Bahaman archipelago, located east of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean, uses two fiat currencies. The Bahamian Dollar and the USD are used simultaneously but since the Bahamian dollar is pegged to the value of the USD at a 1:1 ratio, in reality, the Bahamas does not have its own currency. Creating a digital currency may allow for a truly native dollar to reflect the islands 9 billion USD gross domestic product.
 Developing Digital Brings Banking Services To All
Deputy Prime Minister Turnquest hopes the development of a digital currency can solve two major banking problems in the Bahamas. As the Bahamas is comprised of many small islands with low populations many of its people have limited access to banking services. This forces citizens from outlying islands to make arduous boat trips to the main islands, sometimes carrying large amounts of cash, in order to do their banking.
 Mr. Turnquest sees the creation of a digital currency as a way to bring a range of banking services to all the peoples of the Bahamas and also a solution to another serious problem in the popular tourist destination, corruption. Turnquist’s plan to bring blockchain technology to the island in order to put an end to corruption in the government was key to his appointment to office one year ago.

 Digital payments firm Square has received a BitLicense from regulators in the state of New York.
 The company announced Monday that the New York Department of Financial Services granted the license. Square first indicated back in March that it had submitted paperwork to receive a BitLicense, a move later confirmed by a spokesperson.
 Square's bitcoin-buying option – through its Cash app – first debuted last fall, after which the company began steadily providing access to a greater number of users. New York had, until today, remained a major U.S. market in which Square had yet to receive permission to operate.
 The company's move into the crypto space has already proven its worth, recent figures show. In May, Square reported that it had booked a small profit on $34 million in crypto-related revenue through is Cash app.

 Good news from iota team. IOTA will be deploying a newly developed Tangle identification system later this year in the Taiwanese city of Taipei, according to Jim Huang of the blockchain development company BiiLabs.
 This new release will see the cryptocurrency’s network used in an entirely new way and will be able to develop an innovative virtual identification system. The idea of the concept dubbed the Digital Citizen Card was born out of a partnership between IOTA and Taipei’s municipality at the beginning of this year and is the first project in a series to create a “Smart City Living Lab.” This innovation is the first of its kind since it is a blockchain-based ID system which will be used by the state.
 This project will help reduce identity theft and blockchain voter fraud as well as having the potential to be used in other fields for important data sharing for files such as medical documents.

Indonesian Regulator Gives Green Light for Crypto Futures Trading.

Indonesia's Futures Exchange Supervisory Board (Bappebti), a commodities market regulator under the country's Ministry of Trade, has reportedly ruled that cryptocurrencies are commodities that can be traded on the country's futures exchange.

According to a Jarkata Post report on Monday, the agency's market supervision chief, Dharma Yoga, has confirmed the decision and said the ruling came after a four-month study period that examined the issue.

According to Yoga, the agency has now signed a decree to formalize the decision, potentially clearing the way for the launch of a bitcoin futures product in Indonesia.

Meanwhile, other regulations around cryptocurrency exchanges and related taxation in the country will also be revealed by the country's central bank and its taxation agency, Yoga said.

The central bank, Bank Indonesia, suggested late last year that it would prohibit bitcoin payments in the country, and subsequently stated it does not recognize the cryptocurrency as a legal payment method. However, it did not mention cryptocurrency exchanges at the time.

Yoga further indicated that, in order to prepare a comprehensive regulatory framework, the agency is now requesting domestic cryptocurrency exchanges to submit regulatory proposals.

📑Members FA-Digest📊

🐻The most bearish: Bank of America was again spreading FUD that Bitcoin, greatest bubble in history, is popping. Even though BofA has very low credence in crypto community, these statements can influence a non crypto-savvy crowd.

🤔Legal: US law firm Silver Miller has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of investors in Nano (ex-RailBlocks), asserting that Nano core devs violated federal securities laws and directed investors to a severely troubled Italian crypto exchange BitGrail, which got hacked for $170 million in Nano in February 2018. In response, Nano foundation claimed that they already represent hack victims and established legal fund to bring action against Bitgrail exchange.

👉BTC vs BCH: Twitter account @bitcoin (800K followers) that promotes Bitcoin Cash and criticizes Lightning Network was suspended on April 8th and then reactivated a day later, but had 750K less followers for a first few hours. Twitter didn't give any official explanations, so some people say that account was suspended for a violation of ToS (may be for 'impersonating' BTC), while others allege that it was a coordinated attack from BTC community (massive reporting).

👉ASIC wars: 80% of Monero’s hashrate has vanished after an emergency hardfork that changed Proof of Work (PoW) to prevent ASIC mining. The coin has returned back to the computing power it had in around November 2017. The network’s security has dropped by 80%, increasing a chance of a double spending attack, so some people speculate that now Monero's price doesn't have much room for growth. This is the first time a major crypto had PoW forked, so it's hard to predict what will happen. The original chain keeps running as Monero Original with a hashrate of around 870 Mh/s, as much as has vanished from Monero. Some assume that these are not ASICs, but botnet operators who were unable to update their infected networks.

👉Politics: Trump keeps increasing volatility on stock market with new Russian sanctions and tweets that Russia should 'get ready' for missiles coming to Syria. On a long run it can motivate more people to invest in safe assets and cryptocurrencies that are less influenced by politics.

🐂The most bullish: 22 European countries established a European Blockchain Partnership to exchange experience and expertise in technical and regulatory fields and prepare for the launch of EU-wide blockchain applications across the Digital Single Market. The European Commission has allocated €300 million until 2020 to support blockchain projects. Ex-hedge fund manager and cryptocurrency investor Mike Novogratz hired Richard Kim from Goldman Sachs as the new COO of his crypto merchant bank Galaxy Digital.

Verge, a ”privacy coin” famed for the zealotry of its community, has fallen prey to a 51% attack. A malevolent miner gained majority control of the network hashrate, a feat that makes it possible for the controlling entity to modify transactions, calling the integrity of the entire blockchain into question. Around 250,000 verge were stolen by the attacker, forcing the project team to prepare a hard fork.
