Details of the latest meeting of the European Parliament this week show its dedicated distributed ledger (DLT) taskforce set up earlier this year has already spent half its €850,000 ($1 mln) budget.

Blockchain Can Record Refugee’s Identification
Ethereum is progressing at breakneck speed with state-sponsored integrations also coming from Russia this week.
Members of the Ethereum Foundation signed a deal with government-owned bank VEB with an eye to increasing knowledge and propagation of Ethereum Blockchain solutions.
Registering refugees on the Blockchain meanwhile has been a focus of industry startups for several years.
In 2015, BitNation succeeded in documenting the first such arrivals, at a time when government responses were far from set in stone.

“The refugee crisis in Europe is massive, and will last for years to come with millions of stateless people who can’t open bank accounts, or even take a job, legally,” founder Susanne Tarkowski-Tempelhof told Cointelegraph at the time.
“There’s a huge, and urgent vacuum to fill. The governments won’t do it, because they’re in a political deadlock when it comes to immigration.”

Here we have another real world usecase for blockchain technologies.
Cryptocurrencies are just the beginning of distributed ledgers.
The Blockchain Technologie develops very fast and will solve a lot of real world problems in the future !
Looking forward to an elegant version of digital identity proof for the adoption of a web 3.0.
