🗞 EU Parliament Calls for Action on Blockchain Adoption in Trade
The European Parliament (EP) has called for measures to boost blockchain adoption in trade and business across the region.
The legislative body adopted a resolution on Thursday, dubbed “Blockchain: a forward-looking trade policy,” setting out how the nascent technology could improve EU trade policies, including free trade and mutual recognition agreements.
Blockchain could improve supply chain transparency, streamline trade processes, reduce costs and corruption, detect tax evasion and improve the security of data, the EP said. Cybersecurity, it added, remains a key challenge, however.
🗞 Sephora Shoppers Are Getting Their First Bitcoin Using Crypto Startup Lolli
This holiday shopping season, hundreds of women are earning their first bitcoin by buying items online with an in-browser app called Lolli.
Revealed exclusively to CoinDesk, cosmetics chain Sephora has joined the list of retailers where shoppers can earn cash back, in the form of bitcoin, through an app called Lolli. The bitcoin rewards startup says it won over the beauty chain with data: specifically, 30 percent of the app’s thousands of users are women.
🗞 US Credit Union Blockchain Consortium Joins R3's Global Ecosystem

Based in Denver, Colorado, CULedger reportedly delivers blockchain applications to credit unions and their members, using the technology to mitigate cybersecurity and fraud risks, as well as streamline administrative and operational processes to save time and costs. The firm also provides a specific blockchain-based identification solution for credit union members.
