JPMorgan becomes market leader in the use of blockchain

 

Already more than 220 banks have joined the blockchain system of JPMorgan, which could even compete with SWIFT in the future.

 

Using blockchain technology, JPMorgan Chase is significantly more advanced than its competitors, such as Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

 

At the beginning of the year, the & Investment Bank had launched the “JPM Coin”. This is a so-called stablecoin – a dollar-linked “stable coin” that the bank uses to help its large corporate clients handle global transactions and transactions.

 

Now JPMorgan continues to expand its market leadership in the use of Blockchain. The & nbsp; Investment Bank is expanding the application possibilities of its Interbank Information Network (IIN). This Blockchain project was joined last year by 75 of the world’s largest banks. It seems to be a kind of Blockchain-based alternative to the SWIFT system.

 

The Interbank Information Network, which has now joined more than 220 banks, serves to exchange information. With JPMorgan’s blockchain platform, it is now possible to resolve compliance issues faster, which can take several weeks to process with previous procedures, especially when multiple banks are involved.

Notice where it says Wray is speaking to the CFR… Are we misplacing our TRUST … Q

 

China able to grab ‘entire digital identity’ of Western citizens, State Department says

 

Chinese surveillance tactics “pose an existential threat" to the nations of the Western Hemisphere, a senior State Department official warned Friday.

 

“Citizens living in democracies in the Western Hemisphere could potentially have their entire digital identity under the control and surveillance of an authoritarian government,” Kimberly Breier, the State Department’s top diplomat for the region, told the Council of the Americas.

 

Breier was chiefly addressing Latin America, with a focus on how China distributes surveillance technology and wireless internet services that leave Westerners exposed to Beijing’s prying eyes. China has been selling its high-tech authoritarianism to dictators such as Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro, and even countries friendlier to the United States have been opening their telecommunications networks to Chinese tech companies.

 

FBI Director Christopher Wray, speaking separately at the Council on Foreign Relations, emphasized the same day that the Communist power is targeting the United States as aggressively as any regional neighbor.

 

“China has pioneered a societal approach to stealing innovation any way it can, from a wide array of businesses, universities, and organizations,” Wray said. “They’re doing this through Chinese intelligence services, through state-owned enterprises, through ostensibly private companies, through graduate students and researchers, and through a variety of actors working on behalf of China.”

Spanish Socialist party wins most seats in snap elections

 

April 28 (UPI) – Spain's ruling Socialist Party was declared the winner of the country's snap election Sunday, a government spokeswoman said.

 

The Spanish Socialist Workers' Party, or PSOE, won 122 of the 350 seats in Spain's Congress of Deputies, leading all other parties but failing to win an outright majority.

 

Sunday's results indicate Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will likely enter into negotiations to form a coalition with Pablo Iglesias' Podemos party, which won 42 seats, and will still require support from other parties to form a 176-seat majority.

 

The far-right Vox Party also won 24 seats in the election, becoming the first far-right party to win more than a single seat since the country returned to democracy in 1975.
