Data independence Nebula Genomics, a tech startup, is using blockchain to commence DNA sequencing and remove customers' need to show personal information. Customers can now buy whole-genome sequencing and provide samples of their saliva without sharing personal data. The blockchain-based product allows for transparent and controllable sharing of information. Customers can also use cryptocurrency to make pseudo-anonymous payments, eliminating the "dependence on data de-identification by personal genomics companies prior to data sharing with researchers". The report points out an increase in blockchain adoption by the health industry, including blockchain network Harmony collaborating with Lympo, a Lithuanian blockchain-fueled health app to allow speedy and safe health data sharing. |
An unstoppable force China's cryptocurrency czar Changchuan Mu, also the new director of China's Research Institute on Digital Currency, claimed in a lecture that despite its unpopularity, Facebook's Libra "might be unstoppable anyway". He divulged that despite tough regulations, there were still back channels that users could use to evade central banks' ban and buy the stablecoin, like underground Bitcoin (BTC) trading in China, and using virtual private networks (VPN) to buy BTC from overseas exchanges. He argued that Libra would erode monetary policies' power, making it "hard for China to manage foreign currencies and the $50,000 capital outflow cap would be less effective". Mu also emphasized the need to use China's impending Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP), which would "help the government crackdown on money laundering, tax evasion and financing terrorist groups", and to bolster itself before problems arrive. |
