π Binance Freezes Funds With Suspected Money Laundering Links From Controversial Exchange WEX
Troubled cryptocurrency exchange WEX.nz has seen its funds frozen by fellow exchange Binance after users claimed the exchange was involved in money laundering, CEO Changpeng Zhao confirmed on social media Oct. 29.
In response to an alert by an online trader known as John James on Twitter, Zhao said Binance had quarantined funds sent from wallets associated with WEX.
π Parity Technologies To Create New Zcash Client
Announced today, October 30, 2018, the technical partnership appears to stem from the success of Zcash as a privacy-oriented protocol and its successful implementation of zero knowledge proofs. The release confirms an overriding goal for Parity and Zcash: "Both organizations understand the importance of robust financial privacy, and believe that a cryptocurrency built around zero-knowledge proofs can help secure that fundamental freedom."
Parity Technologies will be contributing "significant resources" to the project, which it hopes will be a "bridge" on Parity's primary new blockchain project, Polkadot, when Polkadot launches in 2019.
π The Bitcoin White Paper's Birth Date Should Give Us All a Scare
This month marks not only the 10-year anniversary of the publication of Satoshi Nakomoto's now famous white paper, but it also marks a decade since the darkest days of the 2008 financial crisis.
With hindsight, the timing of the release of the bitcoin white paper and launching of the bitcoin network could hardly have been better. Did Satoshi Nakomoto at the time fully grasp the historical significance and unique opportunity presented in autumn 2008 to kickstart a new financial system and motivate people to use a new currency?
It is timely to reflect back on both these events, and how the two have evolved in the years since arguably the greatest global financial shock since the Great Depression.
π ERC-20 Co-Author Proposes New ICO Model to Protect Investors from Fraudulent Token Sales
The Ethereum (ETH) developer that co-authored the ERC-20 token standard has introduced a new model for Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), Czech business news outlet Kurzy reports Oct. 31.
Speaking at Ethereumβs annual Devcon conference in Prague Oct. 30, Fabian Vogelsteller, also the main developer of decentralized application (DApp) browser Mist, proposed a new approach for running ICOs that he claims will better protect investors.
π Venezuela Begins Public Sale of National Cryptocurrency Petro
The Venezuelan government has opened up an exchange desk for the countryβs national cryptocurrency at the headquarters of the Superintendency of Cryptoassets. According to the government, investors can now purchase the petro with a number of fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Delegates from China have reportedly purchased some with yuan.

STEEM Trading Update by my friend @cryptopassion
Here is the chart of yesterday :
Here is the current chart :
It is not a good news today, the support line, lower green line, has been broken during the last hours. we are now just under and we have a high risk to have an accelation of the drop if we won't come back quickly in the trading canal. So yeah, we perhaps didn't reach yet the lows on the STEEM...
