Story - Ethereum Moons on UBS News Let’s begin with the Ethereum chart: https://www.coinigy.com/main/markets/BITF/ETH/USD 3 all time highs in the last 3 days. The whole Cryptoverse is now capped at half a trillion dollars. Still tiny tiny compared to the old financial system. So what shot Ethereum’s market cap over $63m? Well here’s one piece of news that came out: https://www.ubs.com/global/en/about_ubs/about_us/news/news.html.html/en/2017/12/11/news-release-MiFID-II Most of you have probably heard of UBS they are a global financial services company based in Switzerland. They provide things like wealth management, asset management, investment banking, private banking, corporate banking etc. From the 3rd of January 2018, companies will be subjected to a new regulatory reporting standard called MiFID 2. I find it interesting that this applies to investment intermediaries, meaning it would not apply to peer to peer systems like a decentralised exchange. If you only read the headline it sounds like amazing news, however that enthusiasm gets dampened by the first paragraph. It specifically says they are going to run a permission blockchain on Microsoft Azure cloud platform. Meaning they are going to build their own separate Ethereum based blockchain to run this on. Meaning they are not going to be buying Ether from the market to pay transaction fees. They may find it beneficial to make use of the public Ethereum network but that remains to be seen. They kind of have to take this approach because the public Ethereum network isn’t going to scale in time for them to make use of it. I mean it says they are doing this in order to get in line with 2018 EU regulations so they don’t have time to wait for Ethereum to scale. Story - Coinbase Halts Trading for ETH and LTC https://www.coindesk.com/coinbase-halts-litecoin-ether-trades-prices-spike/ At the peak GDAX processed $1.8b of LiteCoin trades in a 24 hour period. I guess that was a bit too much for the Coinbase IT infrastructure to handle so they halted trading. I know Coinbase keeps cropping up in the news because of the poor performance of its platform and I can imagine how frustrating it is, however we have to get some perspective here. I don’t think these issues are caused by Coinbase slacking. I think they are doing their level best to upgrade their infrastructure, but every time they do that, the demand for their services increases by another order of magnitude. Eventually Coinbase hits certain limits on how far it can grow. It takes time to hire new people, train them and get them setup in customer support centers. It takes time to setup additional servers and integrate them into their cluster. Every time they add something they need to make sure they don’t bre ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkYLaZpdhTI
