BaFin\u2019s new crypto classification announcement is also part of the move by the country to adopt the fifth EU Money Laundering Directive (AMLD5) which began on January 1, 2020.\u00a0As part of the new BaFin crypto guidelines, cryptocurrency custodians will need to obtain a license for the regulator to offer their services in the country.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/india-supreme-court-lifts-rbi-ban-on-banks-servicing-crypto-firms\"><strong>INDIA SUPREME COURT LIFTS RBI CRYPTO BAN<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Supreme Court of India has struck down the Reserve Bank of India\u2019s (RBI) controversial ban on banks\u2019 dealings with crypto-related firms. The\u00a0 court justices ruled that the RBI\u2019s action was \u201cdisproportionate.\u201d Key arguments in the case included the central bank\u2019s contention that cryptocurrency is a digital means of payment and that the institution was \u201cempowered by law\u201d in its intervention.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/samsung-is-working-on-a-blockchain-based-payments-solution-for-banks-and-merchants\"><strong>SAMSUNG DEVELOPING BLOCKCHAIN PAYMENT SOLUTION<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Samsung&#8217;s enterprise is working on building a blockchain-based settlement solution for merchants and banks. The Korea Herald reported that Samsung SDS had signed a memorandum of understanding with Israeli fintech solutions provider Credorax to develop the technology, aimed to automatically logging payments data on bank records and ledgers. The product, yet to be named, will operate on Samsung SDS&#8217; Nexledger Universal platform, a Samsung proprietary blockchain. Work processes will be automated using AI technology from Brity Works, another of Samsung SDS company.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/htc-unveils-privacy-focused-5g-router-than-can-run-a-bitcoin-node\"><strong>HTC UNVEILS PRIVATE, CRYPTO ROUTER<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>HTC announced a new privacy-focused, portable, 5G blockchain router that is capable of running a full Bitcoin node. The Exodus 5G Hub follows on from the success of the Tawainese manufacturer&#8217;s Exodus 1 phones, which also have the ability to run cryptocurrency nodes. The Hub provides 5G connectivity to all internet-enabled devices and uses Zion Vault software to enable Bitcoin, Ethereum (including ERC-20 and ERC-721 tokens), Binance Coin, Litecoin and Stellar storage for users. The software offers additional security features including social recovery for private keys, allowing users to break up, encrypt and share recovery phrases among trusted parties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-is-now-legal-in-south-korea-parliament-passes-landmark-cryptocurrency-bill\/\"><strong>CRYPTOCURRENCIES LEGALIZED IN SOUTH KOREA<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The South Korean National Assembly amended the Act on Reporting and Use of Specific Financial Information and has allowed the use of cryptocurrencies within the country under regulations. After President Jae-in Moon signs the amendment passed in the country\u2019s parliament, the enactment process will begin. It will take one year from the date of the signing, followed by a 6-month grace period. Once the required time passes, cryptocurrency-related businesses, such as exchanges, trusts, wallet companies, and token-sales, will need to comply with new rules. Requirements include having a real-name verification partnership with an approved local bank. The goal is to prevent money-laundering between fiat deposits or withdrawals.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coinnounce.com\/france-officially-recognizes-bitcoin-as-a-legal-tender\/\"><strong>FRANCE ACCEPTS BITCOIN AS LEGAL TENDER<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Commercial Court of Nanterre of France made a historic decision recognizing bitcoin as legal tender in the country. The ruling relates to a case between French cryptocurrency exchange Paymium and UK-based alternative investments firm BitSpread. Paymium had loaned 1,000 BTC to BitSpread before the Bitcoin Cash hard fork in 2017. After the bitcoin cash hard fork in 2017, Paymium and BitSpread both claimed that the bitcoin cash created belonged to them. The court ruled in favor of the borrower after recognizing bitcoin as a legitimate form of money.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March Weekly Recap 1 March 1st &#8211; March 7th, 2020 Just like the January and February Report, our goal is to visually summarize the cryptocurrency market into an easy to understand and informative way.
