General Market
Outlook
There continues to be no definitive
movement on Bitcoin. It continues to trade around the $8,000 to
$9,000 range, and is currently at $8,200. Ethereum dropped below
$700, but similarly has been trading between the $650 and $850
range. The Buy Markets Percentage for BTC has turned
up since bottoming yesterday. There are very few coins moving
upwords today from the top 100, however there are no massive drops
happening. Steem (STEEM) is only up about 5% currently, but has
been one of the few coins in an uptrend for the past several
days.

Ohio proposes bill to legitimize
smart contracts & blockchain data
The bill mends sections of the Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act to include blockchain records and smart
contracts as electronic records with such definitions as: “If a law
requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies
the law.” Automated transactions - smart contracts - are legally
enforceable as any other contract may be. A minor addition, but
certainly relevant to the overhaul in payment processors relates to
signitures - “A signature that is secured through blockchain
technology is considered to be in an electronic form and to be an
electronic signature.”

TrueUSD
Tether is by far the biggest
stablecoin by volume right now, and recently minted $250 million
USD worth of new Tether. Binance is the largest exchange by volume
overall, but not for Tether. The exchange will be listing TrueUSD
today, which operates similarly as a 1:1 pin of USD. But unlike
Tether, TUSD are only generated when users buy new ones with cash
through the app. These purchases can be places in batches. Instead
of having USD reserves in a bank account controlled by a single
company, USD is held in the bank accounts of multiple trust
companies that have signed escrow agreements. Amounts in these bank
accounts are published each day and are subject to monthly audits.
The toke operates through the TrustToken platform, which offers tokenization
services to all assets.
