Uganda Bitcoin Regulation
A UN organization related to criminal justice problems published today a few details about a new meeting on bitcoin and digital currencies with the aim of a Uganda Bitcoin Regulation.
Organized in Kampala on 7th July, the meeting was supported by the United Nations African Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFRI), the Bank of Uganda and the University of Birmingham Law School.
Dr. Maureen Mapp of the University of Birmingham Law School who partecipated at the event, explained to CoinDesk that the main goal of that event was establishing a basis for a Uganda bitcoin regulation.
Uganda will be one of the first African countries to regulate bitcoin.
Also, Mapp said the effort grew out of a digital currency research project realized with the Commonwealth Secretariat that showed her how Ugandan public officials didn’t know anything about the benefits and risks of the use of virtual currencies.
“I was inspired to engage with policy makers and regulators in order to investigate whether states could develop policies and regulation that encourage innovation while protecting the private rights and interests of users of virtual currencies.”
The goal, she explained, was building awareness and creating a good basis for future discussions.
Thanks to the Ugandan central bank and UNAFRI, Mapp began to contact a few stakeholders in Uganda to put together what became the meeting held in Kampala.
Among the outcomes of the meeting is a think tank dedicated to the “technological, policy, pluralist, ethical and legal issues” about digital currencies, with the organizations and representatives who attended the July meeting.
Those involved also developed a draft for future discussions between private and public stakeholders, which was published earlier this month by UNAFRI.
Next steps will include the creation of a second meeting, set to take place on the same date in 2017.
“The legal and regulatory environment is moving towards embracing the technology so as to harness its benefits and to promote innovation,” she explained.

Sweden Digital Currency: a new Bitcoin?
Today I want to talk about the new Sweden Digital Currency project.
Sweden’s central bank, in fact, is considering the possibility of issuing its own national virtual currency, but the technology behind it is yet to be revealed.
According to an article published today by The Financial Times, Riksbank wants to create the new virtual currency because of a strong decline in domestic cash use. In fact, according to a report, the amount of notes in circulation has declined 40% since 2009.
Sweden Digital Currency and other solutions
Deputy governor Cecilia Skingsley commented that the central bank wants to test various technologies. Although she did not mention blockchain drectly, the Financial Times explained that the distributed ledger might be one of the options the Sweden bank could consider.
“We need to do the homework because it’s not an option for the public sector to stay on the sidelines and see the private sector cut off access to central bank money for individuals.”
Skingsley said that the digital currency could be issued together with banknotes and coins, but the Riksbank do not want to encourage illegal activity.
Tomorrow Skingsley will give a speech and he might explain more details about the Sweden Digital Currency project.
With this announcement, Sweden will become the latest country to have its own central bank considering to issue a new digital currency, an idea that for the greatest part of nations meant doing several reseatches related to blockchain-based cryptocurrencies.
During the latest few months, the Bank of England has started to discuss and test issuing its own digital currency using the blockchain; and the People’s Bank of China is investigating the idea too.

Switzerland Bitcoin Regulation will arrive next year
Switzerland Bitcoin Regulation might arrive next year.
Recently its national railway service “have jumped on the bitcoin bandwagon”, as explained by Coindesk, so now it’s time for Switzerland to start regulating fintech and digital currency.
A few days after the Swiss railway-related announcement, as SBB decided to sell bitcoin through its network of ticket kiosks – the Federal Department of Finance (FDF) announced its plans to regulate fintech with the goal of introducing a new regulation next year.
Key elements include plans for a new kind of license geared specifically toward fintech companies and a so-called regulatory “sandbox” for experimental firms. Under the proposed regime, the Financial Market Supervisory Authority would become the primary regulator of fintech firms working in Switzerland.
In a press release, the FDF explained that it will guide more researches about bitcoin and other digital currencies and it will study the distributed ledger broader applications .
The company explained:
“The FDF should conduct additional clarifications in cooperation with the interested authorities on reducing further barriers to market entry for fintech firms, also those outside financial market law (e.g. legal treatment of virtual currencies and assets).”
During a recent speech, Ueli Maurer, Swiss Finance Minister, commented that the proposed Switzerland Bitcoin regulation would help to attract more brands – even if the nation positive attitude has already attracted the attention of several blockchain-related startups to make their home in the country.
“We assume that with the steps we have prepared and the commitment we have to the overall financial services industry we can provide a solution that puts us among the top (countries) in the world that regulate this,” he explained.

Russian Party accepts Bitcoin
Today reports explain that a minor political Russian party accepts bitcoin donations.
The center-right party created back in 2009 called the Party of Growth, in fact, will accept donations in the cryptocurrency.
This news originally appeared on Interfax and TASS, two magazines about Russia and that cover remarks from Boris Titov, the head of the Party of Growth and advisor to Russian President Putin for business-related issues.
Why the Russian Party accepts Bitcoin
According to these magazines, Titov explained that the party need funds from new sources, including crowdfunding and bitcoin – but only from people with verified identity, he continued.
In fact, the party wants to promote the acceptance of the digital currency within its own country.
To do so, the party will also create a legislation that will be able to simplify the technology adoption and development in Russia.
“Russia can take advantage of the difficult economic situation that has developed today for us to become a very profitable country open to blockchain.”
Currently the party of Growth doesn’t hold any seats in the Duma, but it has two representatives in Russia’s regional legislatures.

Also, they sent each other several coins, testing the process.
DNB Second test
“The second DNBcoin prototype takes the other extreme of bitcoin by jumping to the year 2140, the year when the last fraction of the 21 million bitcoins will be issued,” said Berndsen.
For this second test, the team mined all of the DNBcoins in advance, beginning with a block reward of 1 billion of DNBcoins.
“In doing so we were able to generate 3 billion DNBcoins in 30 seconds. In addition, we observed that after all DNBcoins had been generated, blocks could still be mined and added to the blockchain. The reward was reduced to zero but transaction fees were still collected by the miner who finds the next block.”
Blockchain central bank adoption
Central banks are increasing their interest in the blockchain.
Recently, in fact, we talked about several central banks who studied, tested and adopted the blockchain.
For example, you may be interested in the news related to the Central Bank of Canada that revealed its new digital currency called Cadcoin.
