After the placing of the 333m shares, what will be the total shares in issue

If options granted today are 4.5% of the total issue

5.3m / 4.50 x 100 = 117m + 333m placing shs = 450m shs

1.5m buy trade after hours just booked along with a 967,752 buy trade - mm's kept the price down to fill these 2 orders in for most of the day. £96,000 trade

Looks like a nice 1.5m buy trade booked after market close - will be a worked order

Blackrock Looking for Blockchain Lead

One month after the interview with Rieder, BlackRock Inc. was on the lookout for a blockchain lead. The role entailed hiring someone who understood blockchain fundamentals and valuation principles.

All the signs were there, and BlackRock Inc. was slowly inching towards the cryptocurrency space. BlackRock is currently the world’s largest asset manager, with a staggering $8 trillion in assets under management (AUM).

Following a recent interview, BlackRock Inc. Chief Investment Officer Rick Rieder had commented on bitcoin being more functional than gold.

Investment management giant has tentative plans to allocate some of its assets to Bitcoin futures.

BlackRock has expressed plans to allocate funds to Bitcoin futures in two new filings with the U.S. SEC.

The firm’s interest in cryptocurrency has developed gradually since then. Last November, the company’s Chief Investment Officer suggested that Bitcoin had the potential to replace gold.

If the plans outlined in this month’s SEC filings proceed, it will be the firm’s first Bitcoin-related investment. That said, it is not yet clear that BlackRock’s suggested plans will be approved or acted on.

BlackRock is the world’s largest asset management company. It currently has more than $7.8 trillion assets under management.

BMW, Ford Working on ‘Tamper-Proof’ Blockchain Identities for Vehicles

a working group formed under the Mobility Open Blockchain Initiative (MOBI) and co-chaired by the two car giants, has released the second instalment of a standard for how to record the "true" identity of vehicles on a blockchain platform.

Dubbed vehicle "birth certificates," the Vehicle Identity Standards I and II focus on vehicle registration and maintenance traceability in order to provide a "tamper-proof" history of the vehicle to buyers, regulators and insurers.

“Vehicle registration on blockchain allows formerly disconnected vehicle registration systems between states and countries to connect using a secure, shared, and trusted ledger," said the working group.

How blockchain can usher in new era in crypto regulatory compliance

Increasing innovation by decentralizing capital is possible through blockchain technology. Doing so will increase access to finance as a lever of wealth creation, sparking competition in areas that have become closed shops due to strict regulation, spiralling compliance costs, and increased capital requirements. Blockchain could help turn ailing sectors like lending around by opening them up to competition and rationalizing their regulation.

And there is no reason to look only at lending. Blockchain can link up all international financial ecosystems, bridging the walled gardens of different national regulatory systems. Incumbents would have access to the same financial instruments as ever, but now startups and small businesses could compete too. Such a system would streamline regulation by improving access and reimagining the sector as a whole.

In the long term, the goal would be to have seamless integration of transactional infrastructures across multiple blockchains, jurisdictions and institutions. Doing so would facilitate incumbent financial institutions accessing their existing financial products, but with drastically reduced costs of compliance. Startups and blockchain-first companies would be able to compete in the same spaces for the first time, increasing competition and innovation. Only a company that relied entirely on regulatory capture would have any reason to oppose it.

To realize this potential we need to make it easier for incumbent financial companies to access blockchain solutions, as well as facilitating blockchain startups looking to compete with established financial products.

Rachid Ajaja is the founder and CEO of the decentralized market AllianceBlock. Prior to this, he was a quantitative risk analyst at Barclays Investment Bank, BNP Paribas and Moody’s Analytics.

Anchorage Becomes First OCC-Approved National Crypto Bank

Crypto custodian Anchorage has secured conditional approval for a national trust charter from the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), making it the first national “digital asset bank” in the U.S.

The safekeeping, management and trading of digital assets have been regulatory stumbling blocks for large financial institutions – but those obstacles are gradually being removed. The OCC, a part of the Treasury Department charged with keeping banks safe but also competitive, has now issued three interpretative letters that lay the groundwork for banks to custody crypto, participate in blockchain networks and become payment providers using the tech.

“Blockchains, fundamentally, are banking because what they’re doing is allowing the transaction of value across networks,” Brooks said at Wednesday’s event. “They’re [just] doing it in an orthogonally different way.”

Stratis Launches STO Platform and Identity 2.0

“Stratis STO and Stratis Identity 2.0 release.”
Read More
— Krushang Patel, Head of Communications

Summary

An STO (Security Token Offering) is a similar funding model to that of an ICO but was developed with regulatory body adherence in mind.
Stratis has been quietly building an Asset Management Toolkit, geared to cater to those seeking to leverage the power of blockchain-based technology and the digitization of physical assets.

Stratis has built features into their STO platform needed to gain approval from regulatory bodies in the US. This enables Stratis to provide a unique platform that delivers on the requirements set forth from both a regulatory standpoint and a user-experience point of view.

Stratis has also packaged and delivered a claims-based Self-Sovereign-Identity solution. The Stratis STO Platform comes with native Stratis Identity 2.0 integration, delivering a full end-to-end solution for decentralized authentication and authorization.

Significance

The endorsement of STOs from regulatory bodies unleashes a wealth of benefits for organizations including automated dividend distribution and efficient compliance checks via smart contract, fractional ownership, global reach, and reduced barriers to entry. Stratis has officially released its STO Platform source-code on its GitHub organization. Thus, enabling anyone to leverage the platform immediately without any interaction with Stratis.

338,636 New Shares, to be sold off from the strike price

This could be an interesting one.

1) MODE charge a 1% transaction fee to customers
2) MODE's app has become one of the 'top 2' UK Finance store apps
3) Last 24 hr UK bitcoin transaction volume was c£63bn (wow). Presumably a lot of that is currently institutional money, whereas this app is aimed at retail, so:
4) Let's say MODE manage to grab a 0.1% share of that volume = £63m x 1% per day = £630k revenue per day = £230m annual revenue.

This is the gross transaction volume with bitcoin at today's price - and it is growing fast.

This is using the UK market only.

So what is a realistic share of UK/Global transactions for a business like this to grab hold of? Blue sky potential?

The first project between the two companies will be the development of a blockchain-based parcel tracking application. An existing parcel tracking blockchain application designed by Triad will be ported to the Stratis Platform to run using Stratis Smart Contracts.

By implementing smart contracts, businesses can automate the verification and execution of agreements between parties without the need for an intermediary.
