In a paper released by SWIFT, Chainlink is mentioned 4 times as the “enterprise layer to securely connect the SWIFT network to the Ethereum network” and Chainlink’s CCIP to secure the interoperability between blockchain networks.

@ChainLinkGod
 
Swift is collaborating with @Chainlink and more than a dozen financial institutions and FMIs to test #CCIP for blockchain interoperability.
 
Participants include DTCC, Clearstream, Euroclear, Citi, BNY Mellon, BNP Paribas, Lloyds, ANZ Bank, SDX, and more

Every CCIP user will have to pay in a fraction of a $LINK token soon. SWIFT is going to use CCIP to help/enable to connect some ~12000 banks to any number of Public or Private Chain.  
 
I can't imagine BIS won't use CCIP as well.

Regarding the SEC complaint against us today, we're proud to represent the industry in court to finally get some clarity around crypto rules.
 
Remember:
1. The SEC reviewed our business and allowed us to become a public company in 2021.
2. There is no path to "come in and register" - we tried, repeatedly - so we don't list securities. We reject the vast majority of assets we review.
3. The SEC and CFTC have made conflicting statements, and don't even agree on what is a security and what is a commodity.
4. This is why the US congress is introducing new legislation to fix the situation, and the rest of the world is moving to put clear rules in place to support this technology.
 
Instead of publishing a clear rule book, the SEC has taken a regulation by enforcement approach that is harming America. So if we need to avail ourselves of the courts to get clarity, so be it.
 
Btw, in case it’s not obvious, the Coinbase suit is very different from others out there – the complaint filed against us is exclusively focused on what is or is not a security.  And we are confident in our facts and the law.
 
We'll get the job done. In the meantime, let's all keep moving forward and building as an industry. America will get this right in the end.

We will be live-tweeting the House Committee on Agriculture hearing on "The Future of Digital Assets: Providing Clarity for Digital Asset Spot Markets"

Paul Grewal the Chief Legal Officer for Coinbase is expected to testify today, the same day that the SEC was the target of a SEC complaint alleging they failed to register as a securities exchange and offered unregistered securities

Other witnesses include:
- Rostin Behnam: the chairman of the CFTC
- Christopher Giancarlo: former chairman of the CFTC
- Dan Gallagher: Chief Legal Compliance Officer at Robinhood
- Dan Berkovitz: former commissioner of the CFTC
- Walt Lucken: former acting chairman of CFTC

Chairman Thompson (R-PA) mentions the case filed against Coinbase today and suggests this pattern of regulation by enforcement is not a good pattern

Behnam says he believes that both bitcoin and ether are commodities, that they represent ~60% of the cryptocurrency market, and expanding CFTC oversight of them will have consumer protection benefits

Le dépôt de plainte de la SEC contre Binance *N’EST PAS VALIDE*
 
Pour respecter la règle LCvR 5.1, il faut avoir l’adresse de CZ et toutes les entités citées dans le dépôt de plainte
 
Plus facile à dire qu’à faire…

Les Commissaires de Justice de la Cour d'appel de Paris feront désormais usage de NFTs pour leurs documents et actes officiels

Les Commissaires de Justice de la Cour d’appel de Paris se tournent vers la blockchain afin de sécuriser et authentifier leurs documents. Ils viennent en effet d’annoncer un partenariat avec Unikbase, qui leur permettra de créer des NFTs sur une blockchain dédiée.

Legide repose sur Hyperledger Fabrics; il s’agit d’une blockchain « permissionnée », c’est-à-dire que ses utilisateurs doivent être identifiés et autorisés. C’est cette blockchain qui sera donc utilisée pour les tokens non fongibles (NFTs) utilisés par les Commissaires de Justice.

Les objets physiques (documents ou autres) sont marqués avec une encre invisible, qui renvoie à un marquage équivalent sur les NFTs. Cela permet de créer des « jumeaux numériques » des documents ou objets, et ainsi de certifier leur authenticité. Leur historique est également disponible, avec chaque étape de transfert.

Cette technologie a un but : apporter une « preuve juridique à force probante », qui est délivrée par un contrat d’huissier Legide. Les dépôts sont immuables, et non répudiables, soit deux caractéristiques indispensables afin qu’ils puissent faire foi.
