Bitcoin takes the World by Storm
Some 600 virtual currencies now exist around the world. Bitcoin has a market capitalization of more than $6.5 billion. Hopes are high for the currencies as both investment targets and low-cost methods of payment. Monetary authorities worldwide are setting out to regulate the technology, starting with measures to prevent money laundering and other illicit activity. Developments around bitcoin and the blockchain technology are ever evolving. While banks and technology companies are already involved in many such projects, governments are becoming increasing involved with the changes that have entered this new financial ecosystem.
Australia, Bitcoin & Blockchain
In a recent speech Greg Medcraft, Chairman, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) spoke about the blockchain. He said, “This technology has the potential to fundamentally change our markets and our financial system …. Blockchain will have profound implications for how we regulate.” ASX has already collaborated with Digital Asset Holdings, LLC to develop solutions for the Australian equity market using the blockchain technology. Meanwhile in February, Melbourne based Bitcoin Group, a company that mines bitcoins, completed its initial public offering raising $4.2 million to be listed on Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). It was the first IPO by a company engaged in bitcoin mining.
