Nano Developers Face $170 Million Lawsuit After Exchange Hack

The German Government just approved its proposed its new blockchain strategy for combating crypto projects such as Facebook’s Libra and in today’s coming altcoin news.

According to Spiegel, Germany’s federal cabinet will now approve its blockchain strategy which as announced back in June this year. This move is clearly a sign that the country has an intention to become a part of the emerging global economy and the government-run Bundes-Chain now sounds like the latest threat for Libra in Europe. The representative of the center-right Christian Democratic Union Thomas Heilmann says that the German Government and the legislative of the country has already worked on an agreement to prevent the operation of any ‘’market-relevant private stablecoin.’’ Commenting on the same matter, Heilmann noted:

‘’Up to now, the economy has done a great job in countering crises and inflation with measures taken by central banks. Once a digital currency provider dominates the market, it will be quite difficult for competitors.’’

Rather than Libra entering the market in Germany, the authorities appear to be in favor of creating a new state-backed digital currency which will run on the Bundes chain. Part of Germany’s proposed blockchain strategy involves creating a simple framework for crypto startups in the country. As it was previously reported in some of the best cryptocurrency news sites, BitBond in 2019 launched the first even regulated security token offering in Germany. According to Heilmann, the German government hopes that the new blockchain strategy will help the local crypto startups to enjoy the competitive advantages of the market over foreign counterparts. There is also very little information on how the government-run Bundes Chain will incentivize the private participants.

For the crypto analyst Alex Kruger, some of the other countries will copy the approach Germany has with the emerging cryptocurrency and blockchain technology industry. Also, the French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire declared that the country will also work towards blocking the libra crypto project in Europe. Le Maire also explained that Libra is a huge threat to the economic sovereignty of Europe. In China, the central bank is also trying to launch the digital yuan project which is a part of the efforts to block Libra.
