Coinbase Explores Crypto ETF (9/6) Coinbase Spoke to Asset Manager Blackrock About Creating a Crypto ETF, Business Insider Reports
Crypto Week in Review (9/1-9/7) Goldman Sachs CFO Denies Crypto Strategy Shift (9/6) GS CFO Marty Chavez addressed claims from an unsubstantiated report earlier this week that the firm may be delaying previous plans to open a crypto trading desk, calling the report “fake news”. Coinbase Explores Crypto ETF (9/6) Coinbase spoke to asset manager BlackRock about creating a crypto ETF, Business Insider reports. While the current status of the discussions is unclear, BlackRock is said to have “no interest in being a crypto fund issuer,” and SEC approval in the near term remains uncertain. Looking ahead, the Wednesday confirmation of Trump nominee Elad Roisman has the potential to tip the scales towards a more favorable cryptoasset approach. Twitter CEO Comments on Blockchain (9/5) Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, speaking in a congressional hearing, indicated that blockchain technology could prove useful for “distributed trust and distributed enforcement.” The platform, given its struggles with how best to address fraud, harassment, and other misuse, could be a prime testing ground for decentralized identity solutions. Ripio Facilitates Peer-to-Peer Loans (9/5) Ripio began to facilitate blockchain powered peer-to-peer loans, available to wallet users in Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil. The loans, which utilize the Ripple Credit Network (RCN) token, are funded in RCN and dispensed to users in fiat through a network of local partners. Since all details of the loan and payments are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, the solution could contribute to wider access to credit for the unbanked. IBM’s Payment Protocol Out of Beta (9/4) Blockchain World Wire, a global blockchain based payments network by IBM, is out of beta, CoinDesk reports. -
A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets
Journal of Risk and Financial Management Review A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets Nikolaos A. Kyriazis Department of Economics, University of Thessaly, 38333 Volos, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: This study is an integrated survey of GARCH methodologies applications on 67 empirical papers that focus on cryptocurrencies. More sophisticated GARCH models are found to better explain the fluctuations in the volatility of cryptocurrencies. The main characteristics and the optimal approaches for modeling returns and volatility of cryptocurrencies are under scrutiny. Moreover, emphasis is placed on interconnectedness and hedging and/or diversifying abilities, measurement of profit-making and risk, efficiency and herding behavior. This leads to fruitful results and sheds light on a broad spectrum of aspects. In-depth analysis is provided of the speculative character of digital currencies and the possibility of improvement of the risk–return trade-off in investors’ portfolios. Overall, it is found that the inclusion of Bitcoin in portfolios with conventional assets could significantly improve the risk–return trade-off of investors’ decisions. Results on whether Bitcoin resembles gold are split. The same is true about whether Bitcoins volatility presents larger reactions to positive or negative shocks. Cryptocurrency markets are found not to be efficient. This study provides a roadmap for researchers and investors as well as authorities.

An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext
An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext By Isaac Quinn DuPont A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Isaac Quinn DuPont 2017 ii An Archeology of Cryptography: Rewriting Plaintext, Encryption, and Ciphertext Isaac Quinn DuPont Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2017 Abstract Tis dissertation is an archeological study of cryptography. It questions the validity of thinking about cryptography in familiar, instrumentalist terms, and instead reveals the ways that cryptography can been understood as writing, media, and computation. In this dissertation, I ofer a critique of the prevailing views of cryptography by tracing a number of long overlooked themes in its history, including the development of artifcial languages, machine translation, media, code, notation, silence, and order. Using an archeological method, I detail historical conditions of possibility and the technical a priori of cryptography. Te conditions of possibility are explored in three parts, where I rhetorically rewrite the conventional terms of art, namely, plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext. I argue that plaintext has historically been understood as kind of inscription or form of writing, and has been associated with the development of artifcial languages, and used to analyze and investigate the natural world. I argue that the technical a priori of plaintext, encryption, and ciphertext is constitutive of the syntactic iii and semantic properties detailed in Nelson Goodman’s theory of notation, as described in his Languages of Art. I argue that encryption (and its reverse, decryption) are deterministic modes of transcription, which have historically been thought of as the medium between plaintext and ciphertext. -
BGX Bluepaper MOCK
ABSTRACT V 1.0 2018.03.27 BGX Blue Paper, v 3.0 Breaking Down of the BGX Platform Technology BGX_BLUEPAPER_3.0 0 ABSTRACT V 3.0 2019.01.09 ABSTRACT This document describes the technological understanding of the BGX Platform, the integrative distributed ledger for a new generation of business networks. The first open- source distributed ledger focusing on digital assets, BGX provides a seamless and easy integration between businesses – using decentralization to construct shared economic mini-ecosystems. The core differentiators of the transformative BGX distributed network is the hierar- chal topology of nodes, the ability to exchange digital assets in reloadable transactions, not just currency, the anchoring of the system, its unique API capabilities, and the dual token system. Among particular importance is the F-BFT Consensus that enables the hierarchal topology, as well as unlimited horizontal and vertical scalability of the network’s through- put. The data processed by the network is placed in a special structure of the DAG (Di- rected Acyclic Graph) instead of blocks; it has the ability to grow in several directions simultaneously, unlike a blockchain. The main theses of the presented model: • Commitment to open and decentralized solutions that allow the use of tech- nology for the benefit of society, aimed at safety and free use; • The main technological solutions essentially depend on the business model and the customer value proposition, the technology and architecture should be maximally harmonized with business priorities; • There is no universal panacea for building the architecture of a modern dis- tributed technological system; to build sustainable solutions, it is necessary to find a compromise between scaling, security, decentralization and the cost of the solution; • The blockchain revolution continues, in addition to popular first-generation networks such as Ethereum and Blockchain, advanced solutions such as IOTA, HASHGRAPH / HEDERA and STELLAR appear. -

How Global Is the Cryptocurrency Market?
How Global Is The Cryptocurrency Market? Gina C. Pieters Trinity University, Economics Department, San Antonio, Texas, USA University of Cambridge, Judge Business School|Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, UK Abstract Despite the size and global reach of crypto-markets we dont know how much individual countries have invested in cryptos (market exposure), what share of the market individual countries account for (market power), or how those two measures are related. Movements originating in high market power countries will impact high exposure countries, representing a new channel for financial contagion. This paper constructs multiple estimates of exposure and power, using purchases by state-issued currencies and including adjustments to account for the purchase of cryptocurrencies by other cryptocurrencies. All measures find that the market is highly concentrated in just three currencies|the US dollar, the South Korean Won, and the Japanese Yen account for over 90% of all crypto transactions. Market expo- sure and market power cannot be explained by economic size, income, financial openness, domestic stock market size, or internet access. This analysis also reveals that a country's Bitcoin market share is not representative of a country's crypto-market share: a warning for regulators or researchers focused exclusively on Bitcoin markets. Keywords: Bitcoin; Cryptocurrencies; International Asset Market. JEL Codes: E50, F20, F33, G15 Email address: [email protected] ( Gina C. Pieters) 1. Introduction The FSB's initial assessment is that crypto-assets do not pose risks to global financial stability at this time. This is in part because they are small relative to the financial system. Even at their recent peak, their combined global market value was less than 1% of global GDP. -

The NTSWG is the primary technical and policy resource of the Federal Government for all aspects of the technical security program involving telephone systems. The Telephone Security Guides (TSG) Standards contain guidance for providing on-hook security to telephone systems in areas where sensitive government information is discussed. Implementation of TSG standards neither prevents the application of more stringent requirements nor satisfies the requirements of other security programs such as TEMPEST, COMSEC, or OPSEC. TSG Standard 1 is an introduction to telephone security that provides general information about the TSG standards. This edition has been revised to make finding items easier. It is divided into 2 major sections, items currently being manufactured and items no longer being made. All approved items will remain in this Standard since old hardware is still in use and the Approved status of an item can be verified by referring to this Standard. -
