Dubai WBC blockchain Center Building
WBC is the abbreviation of world blockchain conference, namely the first world blockchain conference
is a semiannual world blockchain instry event initiated and held by the world blockchain consortium,
place: Macao, China,
time: April 22-24, 2018, lasting for 3 days
this is the information I saw on the official website, I hope it can help you.
DTCC is a clearing house in the United States, which processes billions of dollars of transactions every year. The global credit card processing network visa is only one of the most well-known pilot projects carried out by non banks. That is to say, some financial sectors are certainly more active than others
major stock and commodity exchanges can be said to be the most active institutions participating in blockchain experiments. For example, NASDAQ, a major U.S. stock exchange provider, even released its own blockchain trading model last fall. This program, called LINQ, can trade and track the shares of private companies. NASDAQ has positioned it as an early experiment of blockchain technology to expand the scope of major stock trading and even the scope of new asset classes< br />Blockchain_ Stock exchanges
although the subtle areas are more different, the 10 major stock and commodity exchanges in the world have shown interest in blockchain technology. In this article, we will give you a detailed introction:
1. Australian Stock Exchange (ASX)
when it comes to the application of blockchain technology, ASX is definitely one of the most ambitious companies. In January, ASX invested more than US $10 million in digital asset holdings, a start-up company in the instry, as part of its R & D activities
at the same time of investment, ASX also revealed that it will not only conct technical tests, but also establish a new post transaction settlement system, which will be developed by digital asset through the use of distributed general ledger structure
however, since January this year, the update progress of the project on the Australian Stock Exchange may have been overshadowed by controversy. In March this year, the Australian news media began to speculate that although the Australian Stock Exchange has reiterated its support for the experiment, the blockchain project may also be in doubt with the premature resignation of Elmer Funke Kupper, the chief executive of the Australian Stock Exchange< CME Group is one of the founders of "post trade distributed ledger working group". At present, CME Group has carried out very positive actions in the instry through its investment department CME ventures
CME Group is unique among its peers. It has been pursuing a diversified investment strategy across instries. It has successively invested in ripple, a distributed accounting start-up company, digital currency group and digital asset holdings. Beyond that, however, CME Group has yet to speak publicly about its actions in technology and the wider instry< br />3.Deutsche B� 0� 2rse
Deutsche B & 65533, the operator of Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany; 0� 2rse, another participant on the list, also participated in the $60 million financing of digital asset holdings in January< However, unlike its joint investor ASX, Deutsche B & 65533; 0� 2rse expresses less support for technology
in an interview in February this year, Deutsche B & 65533; 0� 2rse said it is concting a proof of concept for the technology, although it has not released any survey or test results
4. Du multi commodity trading center
in the Middle East, blockchain related activities are relatively rare, and this situation has continued until the recent opening of the global blockchain Council. With 32 members, the global blockchain Council is a group of start-ups, financial companies and technology giants to monitor the application of technology and its impact
based on these members, Du multi Commodities Center is a special economic zone and commodity circulation center responsible for supervising the trading of precious metals and other tangible commodities
DMCC announced in February that it is engaged in a technology experiment with bitoasis, a bitcoin start-up company, to explore how blockchain technology can improve its personnel's entry process< JPX is one of the most active stock market operators in Asia. In February, JPX announced its interest in the instry and has formed an alliance with IBM to become a user of blockchain-as-a-service (baas)
at that time, relevant reports said that the Japanese exchange group was concting a proof of concept study on the role of blockchain technology in creating a new low liquidity asset trading system, and the final results would be published in a report later this year
earlier this month, the Japanese stock exchange group also announced that it is working with the Nomura Research Institute (NRI) to test how technology can be applied to the stock market< Korea exchange is the only stock exchange in South Korea and one of the new entrants to this list. It announced in February that it will strive to launch a counter trading platform through blockchain technology
in a statement to the local news media, Korea Exchange said it hoped the technology would help rece costs. Details of the trial and the company's participation in the group were not released
7. London Stock Exchange (LSE)
LSE is one of the founders of "post trade distributed ledger working group". When it comes to experiments on blockchain technology, LSE is one of the most dynamic and low-key institutions
the London Stock Exchange is one of the largest groups to follow the steps of R3, a start-up company, and it is the first to say that large financial companies will seek to use cooperation mode to conct blockchain testing, which is beyond the framework of R3
since then, some large financial companies have begun to participate in private proof of concept and operation in certain areas of capital markets involving all parties
in addition, like Kouvola innovation and Japan exchange group, London Stock Exchange is one of the initial customers of IBM's blockchain-as-a-service (baas)
8. NASDAQ
when it comes to testing blockchain technology, NASDAQ is probably the most active organization. Nasdaq, the US stock market operator, launched LINQ, a private equity trading platform for the first time in 2015, and thus became the first financial institution to conct a proof of concept of blockchain. At present, the platform is still in the testing stage
in addition, NASDAQ has reached a cooperation with chain, a blockchain solution provider, and allowed its internal experts to talk openly about blockchain technology
in 2016, NASDAQ continued this momentum. More recently, it has revealed that it is working with Estonia's NASDAQ OMX Tallinn stock exchange to conct a trial to use blockchain technology to rece obstacles to shareholder voting
9. New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
NYSE is one of the first companies interested in the instry. In 2015, NYSE issued two important statements, both of which are related to bitcoin
in January 2015, NYSE invested in coinbase, a bitcoin service company, as part of its round C financing. At that time, Jeffrey sprecher, chairman of NYSE, said the investment showed confidence in the fact that the millennials would widely use digital currency. He described the millennials as having a more progressive view of value exchange
in May, NYSE will continue to launch bitcoin price index, which will become a competitor of coindesk's bitcoin price index (BPI), which is based on the trading data of coinbase trading platform
10. TMX group
TMX group, the operator of Toronto Stock Exchange, has not clearly expressed its opinions on blockchain technology
however, with Anthony di Iorio (one of the co founders of Ethereum) employed as the organization's first chief digital technology officer, TMX also publicly expressed its interest in blockchain technology for the first time in March this year. Next generation network has become one of the most important blockchain applications in the eyes of the public after the proct release in March
nevertheless, TMX group has indicated that it is in the early stage of generating blockchain strategy, and it may conct technical testing soon

Share from DTV: how does the blockchain of DTV make profits in the end:
1. Build a blockchain ecosystem
Why do start-ups join in blockchain public chain projects one after another? Because it's a great opportunity. Any enterprise has the opportunity to create an ecosystem that subverts the existing pattern with its own ideas and operations. In this system, the currency designated by the ecosystem owner will circulate
because start-ups hold a certain amount of money and reserve some money for enterprises to dig, and the total amount of money is fixed, the faster the flow speed of the ecosystem is, the greater the demand for money is. More transactions chase less money, and the currency is bound to appreciate, but this idea is based on the fact that the currency is irreplaceable
now many research groups are developing cross chain technology to connect blockchains in different fields, so as to achieve the free circulation of money flow and data flow, and finally go to the exchange
in this case, the impact of a chain of money shortage on the ecosystem may not be as simple as the classical monetary theory, and the money price is likely not to follow the simple relationship between supply and demand. Designers need to think about this from a macroeconomic perspective
this is also the most attractive part of blockchain project: everyone is likely to establish new rules in this new field and become the manager of Qu centralized system. By then, the owners of the blockchain will have the ability to control the economy of the whole field - selling or inhaling digital currency will have a huge impact on the instry
2. Providing services for enterprises
providing services for enterprises is the main profit model of blockchain projects at the present stage, and cloud storage security skeptics are likely to turn to traceable and tamper proof blockchain service providers to seek maximum data security
for example, a blockchain start-up operating a data sharing platform, its main business includes providing data storage and data transaction services for customers, thus charging service fees and handling charges
there are many domestic start-up companies operating such businesses, such as cloud nest, border intelligence, magic chain technology, etc. Each company has excellent technology, but to make a profit, it may have to work hard on the operation
today, Tencent cloud's tbaas has joined this field and can provide services covering finance, supply chain, Internet of things, medical and other fields. It is believed that the competition and expansion of customers will become more difficult in the future
3. Smart contract participates in profit making
smart contract is like a contract that can be executed automatically. The validity of the contract is judged and enforced by machines instead of people. Its essence is still a piece of code, but the traceability and non tampering characteristics of blockchain can ensure that this piece of code runs automatically under the non trust mechanism. Blockchain is the precondition of smart contract operation
in practice, there are many opportunities for profit making through smart contracts, and smart contracts can solve these problems in a non black box way
in the running process of the program, the smart contract performs audit, classification information and other operations, which eliminates the interference of middlemen, and the record will not be artificially damaged, and the font on the file will not be blurred for a long time
but to some extent, the operators of smart contracts themselves become middlemen, and they automatically collect and pay audit fees through smart contracts. This kind of special intermediary service saves a lot of costs for customers, and its essence is realized by improving efficiency
4. Operation of special service driven system
many enterprises have their own exclusive fields in building blockchain community. Take the neurogenomics project led by geneticist church as an example. After enjoying the gene sequencing service provided by neurola, consumers can not pay in the form of legal money, but have to exchange legal money into the token issued by neurola
as more people exchange legal money for this token, nebula will successfully build a blockchain platform with gene data as the core, and after that, it will better carry out precision medical services
generally speaking, this mode relies on the actual technology, makes profits from offline services at the beginning of the project, and converts the legal money in the income into token in the process of making profits. With the progress of the project, the platform can carry out more precision medical services with the help of the data obtained from the start mode, and its profit methods have become diversified, but the whole process will not be separated from the entity
in the whole process of enterprise operation, token is mainly used as incentive, and token appreciation is not a problem that geneticists should consider
The original purpose of project 1CO is to crowdfunding in the market through pre-sale service. In 2013, the early 1CO company appeared in the financial field, and then quickly detonated the entire digital money market, resulting in the rise of speculationhowever, this storm came and went quickly. From 2013 to 2014 alone, many projects died in the speculation or were directly judged as fraud
according to Engadget data, 45.6% of the 902 crowdfunding based digital currencies have failed in 2017
Even so, there are still many survivors. These enterprises (including those that build the ecosystem) attach great importance to the role of token, and the appreciation of token will be calculated as part of the profits In essence, it is similar to an enterprise operating both financial assets (token) and operating assets (service) to manage operating assets to make financial assets profitable. However, if the proportion of "financial assets" is too large, the risk will come uninvited The foundation of sharing economy is to monitor the available resources and corresponding demands in real time and make adjustments to maximize the utilization of resources. For unicorns like airbnb, they have a mature management mode and stable cash flow. They try blockchain because blockchain technology can bring more transparent, more efficient and fairer systemsthis kind of enterprises use blockchain in the way of private chain or alliance chain. They don't need token to participate in circulation, and the nodes don't exist anonymously. They are interested in blockchain technology itself
with the blessing of blockchain technology, the manual input of ID information issued by the government will be transformed into the safe storage and verification of ID issued by the government. Customers and landlords can completely rely on the evaluation content. At the same time, the comments can be traced back to avoid the possibility of negative comments being deleted and the participation of the Navy
the profit model of airbnb and Tencent
The bitcoin white paper was first published at the end of 2008, when the creators sent it to multiple recipients on an encrypted mailing list. Strangely, its creator pretended to be Satoshi Nakamoto, hiding behind the pseudonym
Another reason for Nakamoto's anonymity can be explained as that the creators of alternative currencies easily put themselves at risk In 1998, Hawaiian resident Bernard von nohaus created a private currency called free dollar. It has been popular for some time, but its coinage was suddenly raided by the FBI and secret service in 2007. After a criminal lawsuit in 2009, the money was confiscated and Bernard von norhaus was convicted of "making private coins that compete with the official currency of the United States." In addition, in 2007, a digital currency called e-gold was accused of being illegal because it did not collect enough customer information. Its owner was sentenced to house arrest and the company was shut down. The arrest of entrepreneurs in alternative currencies by government agencies may have been a factor in China's decision to remain anonymouseveryone can use bitcoin. This means it can be used to pay for legal and illegal services, as well as legal bids however, it has always been a popular payment method in the black net market. Ross Ulbricht, the notorious dark Internet market maker and operator, was jailed for facilitating the trading of drugs and other contraband
Ross Ulbricht appealed to the US Supreme Court in December 2017, but is still in prison. If Nakamoto reveals his true identity, it can be inferred that he may face a similar fate
who would he be
in 2016, Craig Wright, an Australian programmer, claimed to be Chinese. He provided some evidence, but later found that it was not conclusive because it could be obtained publicly from books. He was also accused of falsifying announcements and blog posts to show his real Chinese version. For example, vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, recently called Craig white a liar
The other is Hal Finney. He is a famous cryptopunk and Cryptologist. He was also the first person to receive bitcoin from Nakamoto in 2009. He was also the first to download a bitcoin client. Before his death in 2014, however, Hal fini refuted the claim that he was Chinese Some people think that Nick Saab, a famous Cryptologist, may be Nakamoto. Before the launch of bitcoin, he designed the architecture of distributed digital currency, which he called bitcoin. Although the architecture has never been moved, it is similar to the design of bitcoin. This led to widespread speculation. But he repeatedly denied italthough the real identity of Nakamoto may never be disclosed, it is important that the operation of the technology will not be affected
