🗞 The Fall of Tether and What It Means for the Cryptocurrency Markets

The demise of Tether has been a car crash in slow motion. An unswervable event that has played out over the course of months, it has reached a crescendo in the past 24 hours, with tether slipping significantly from its dollar peg. It is possible, perhaps even probable, that it will regain parity with the U.S. dollar. But by then, the damage may have already been done.

🗞 Execs Say Blockchain Adoption Has Been 'Harder Than Expected'

  • 45% of execs said that blockchain scalability was a ‘major issue’, while 18% said it was not an issue.
  • A majority of firms surveyed had not yet taken their platforms to live production, and those in production were experiencing slow transaction speeds. However, the report quotes 2% of respondents suggesting they had been able to reach over 15,000 tx/sec.

🗞 IBM’s Blockchain Patents: From Food-Tracking and Shipping to IoT and Security Solutions

The latest developments aim at the logistics sector – but IBM has been keen on blockchain for over 5 years that reveals a slow and steady approach to the adoption of enterprise-scale blockchain solutions.
