Weekly Blockchain News

The State of West Virginia reported that the first instance of blockchain voting for military personnel stationed overseas in 24 countries in the U.S midterms elections was a success.

Mac Warner, the Secretary of State of the U.S. state of West Virginia was quoted as saying:

“This is a first-in-the-nation project that allowed uniformed services members and overseas citizens to use a mobile application to cast a ballot secured by blockchain technology.”

Still, with elections, the Democratic Party, the main opposition party in Thailand became the world’s first major political party in the world to “carry out primary elections entirely on the blockchain.”

The Canadian House Finance Committee discussed cryptocurrency regulation in a bid to curb money laundering. Cryptocurrencies are anonymous and difficult to trace making them a favorite choice for some criminal actors. According to iPolitics, cryptocurrencies “have a history of being used by risky personalities such as Edward Snowden and Julian Assange.”

The Monetary Authority of Singapore, Bank of England, and Bank of Canada released a joint report that “singled out central bank digital currencies as being one of the solutions that can be implemented in order to solve the challenges encountered when making cross-border payments.”

Amid the nosedive in the prices of digital assets, Switzerland became the first country in the world to launch an exchange-traded product (ETP) that tracks multiple cryptocurrencies.

The Internal Revenue Service Advisory Council believes that taxpayers should be allowed to pay their taxes in cryptocurrencies and this could help the “agency strengthen its collection enforcement.”
