Major Headlines
 

One U.S. State Now Allows BTC Tax Payments

The state of Ohio in the U.S. has been progressive with their regulations regarding cryptocurrency. Earlier this year the state updated the language throughout their laws to recognized data stored and transacted on a blockchain as equal to traditional signatures. For legal standing in Ohio, digital signatures are part of the new norm. The state will now accept payments of Bitcoin for taxes from businesses, but not individuals. They created a website OhioCrypto.com to facilitate a payment portal with BitPay. In this way, the Bitcoins will not actually be held by any state government body, but rather converted into traditional US dollars and sent back to them. Wallets that will be compatible with the new website are the Bitcoin Core client, Mycelium and breadwallet, as well as any others that are compatible with the Bitcoin Payment Protocol.

 

Securitize Funded By All Big Names

An initial funding round was just completed by a blockchain startup that focuses on digitizing traditional securities. Securitize raised almost $13 million, led by Blockchain Capital. Almost more importantly, the start up is bringing together an expert board of directors to make sure the funding is used in the best way possible. Co-founder and CEO Carlos has brought on Blockchain Capital co-founder and managing partner Brad Stephens along with members from major cryptocurrency companies Coinbase Ventures, Ripple’s Xpring, OKEx’s OK Blockchain Capital, Global Brain and NXTP. The company is buying into the possibility of full digital transition. In which case, the financial industry will have over $7 trillion to bring to decentralized networks.

 

Nigerian Presidential Candidate Supports Full Crypto

The Opposition leader running for office in Nigeria promises a full fledged Cryptocurrency Policy if he is elected president. Abubakar is the frontrunner as a representative of the People’s Democratic Party. He was the former Vice President of the country. He states that the country will adopt blockchain technology and cryptocurrency if he is voted into power for both immediate financial benefits, but a plan to integrate the technology into their educational system as well. The Nigerian government has already put time into the industry by researching a conversion to Bitcoin as a main means of payment. And Abubakar is confident further research, education and implementation will help: “Nations that will prosper are those that embrace [a] comprehensive, agile approach that infuses the influence of rapid technological advancement into every area of governance and policy to address the issues of inadequate technological infrastructure, funding and poor database.”
