Canadian Securities Commission shows interest to ICOs and Cryptocurrencies
In addition to providing aid to businesses in complying with securities laws, the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), the largest securities regulator in Canada, has recently announced that they are keen in supporting initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies.
OSC has recently launched a dedicated team called “Launchpad” which will promptly respond and provide direct support for eligible fintech businesses and cryptocurrency offerings.
The Commission has recently tweeted about their stand that cryptocurrencies, including ICOs have the potential to revolutionize the way financial services are provided to the people in Canada and that they are keen to support Cryptocurrencies and ICOs.
They aim to be flexible in their approach and see the importance of working with businesses and investors in finding the right balance for those vested in this space.
A £17M London Mansion is for Sale and Sellers will Only Accept Bitcoin Payment
Believed as first Bitcoin-only sale in London, the Notting Hill mansion is going on sale this month for £17 million worth of Bitcoin.
The mansion is a 6-story stucco-fronted home located near Portobello Road and is currently owned by London Wall.
The company's co-founder Lev Loginov hopes to pioneer Bitcoin transactions in England and wants to change the perceptions about cryptocurrencies.
Loginov said that cryptocurrencies will take out the need for solicitors and property title and will change the way transactions in real estate are done.
He also added that Bitcoin transactions are way faster, easy and efficient than working with banks which bring overregulation.
