AI Hardware stems from the need for making perfect hardware in order to accelerate artificial intelligence applications. There are three main parts of hardware infrastructure: compute, storage and networking. In the last few years, the computer has made the most significant progress. The other two areas, storage, and networking are not as advanced have yet to see major innovations regarding AI applications.

The growth in big data and advancement in computing is expected to drive the market. The advances that occur in the field of computing tend to focus on software. These advances include applications and programs that can perform various tasks that facilitate humans. One of the major advancements in computing deals with the ability to store as well as analyze big data. The hardware of computing, therefore, has undergone big changes in order to support innovation.

#CryptoCorner: Coinbase May Have to Remove DApp Browser from Apple (NASDAQ: $AAPL) App Store, China’s First #Blockchain ETF Application, Huobi Launches Fiat-to- #Crypto Gateway in Indonesia

#CryptoCorner: Coinbase May Have to Remove DApp Browser from Apple (NASDAQ: $AAPL) App Store, China’s First #Blockchain ETF Application, Huobi Launches Fiat-to- #Crypto Gateway in Indonesia




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC December 30, 2019 - Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market.

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:AAPL) (NasdaqGS:FB)

A recent Reddit post revealed that U.S. crypto exchange giant Coinbase may have to remove its “DApp browser functionality” of its crypto wallet app from the Apple (NasdaqGS:AAPL) mobile app store. The CEO of Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, responded in the comment section:

“Coinbase CEO here. This is really unfortunate to see. Apple seems to be eliminating usage of Dapps from the App Store.

If Apple customers want to be able to use Dapps, we may need to make this request know to Apple in some way. This is an important area of innovation in finance, and many developers and early adopters of this technology have millions of dollars worth of crypto tied up in these financial applications, which they will no longer be able to use on Apple mobile devices if this app store policy continues.”

Reuters reports that Ueli Maurer, Switzerland’s finance minister and outgoing president, said in an interview with Swiss broadcaster SRF that Facebook’s (NasdaqGS:FB) Libra will not succeed as it currently stands.

“I don’t think (Libra has a chance in its current form), because central banks will not accept the basket of currencies underpinning it.”

According to the article:

The cryptocurrency is to be backed by a reserve of assets such as bank deposits and government debt held by a network of custodians. That structure is meant to foster trust and avoid the price swings that plague other cryptocurrencies.

A report from Shanghai Securities News indicates that the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) has recently received an application for a blockchain exchange-traded-fund (ETF) from asset manager Penghua Fund. If approved, the ETF will be the first of its kind in China. Its aim is to track Shenzhen Stock Exchange-listed companies operating in the blockchain space. An unnamed “fund manager of a Beijing fund company” said:

"The launch of the relevant index gives investors new choices, and they can use the relevant theme funds to obtain dividends in the development of the blockchain industry in the future."

Crypto exchange Huobi recently announced the launch of “a local fiat gateway to enable a direct fiat-to-crypto trading facility between the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and Tether (USDT)”, allowing investors in the country to “use the local fiat currency to trade over 250 cryptocurrencies available on Huobi Indonesia's digital asset exchange”. David Chen, Senior Director of Huobi Cloud, explained:

"The new fiat gateway is part of Huobi's global expansion strategy and reflects our ongoing commitment to working with strong local partners in key markets across the globe. By continuing to add new fiat/crypto pairs for Huobi Cloud 2.0, we want to make it frictionless for investors anywhere in the world to trade digital assets on a trusted and proven platform."

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:GOOGL) (NasdaqGM:CAN)

An article from Decrypt reports that Google’s (NasdaqGS:GOOGL) YouTube has conceded to have made a mistake in banning crypto-related channels in the past week. A spokesman from YouTube said:

"With the massive volume of videos on our site, sometimes we make the wrong call. When it's brought to our attention that a video has been removed mistakenly, we act quickly to reinstate it."

Though the spokesman went on to say that all affected videos were "reinstated" without "any penalty to the channel”, the Decrypt article identifies several channels that remain banned.

Cointelegraph reports that Canaan, Inc. (NasdaqGM:CAN), a manufacturer of mining application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), is set to launch new and improved mining machines with 5-nanometer chips in the first quarter of 2020. An excerpt from the article outlines the significance of this development:

As the features in chips become smaller, it becomes possible to fit more transistors in a silicon die of the same size. At the same time, the electric current has to travel less distance in the circuit to perform a calculation, which means that efficiency is improved and the amount of heat is decreased when the features are smaller.

Bank of Korea, the central bank of South Korea, revealed its intentions to explore CBDC (central bank digital currency) and crypto in a brief published today titled, Monetary Policy for 2020. An excerpt reads:

The Bank will continue to build on the research into new innovations such as distributed ledger technology, crypto assets, and CBDC, and play an active role as overseer to enhance security of the settlement systems. The Bank will organize a task force dedicated to CBDC research and recruit additional experts.

The Central Bank of the Bahamas announced that it will debut “a digital version of the Bahamian dollar, starting with a pilot phase in Exuma in December 2019, and extending in the first half of 2020 to Abaco”. The initiative is being called “Project Sand Dollar” as “sand dollar” is the proposed name of the CBDC itself. An excerpt from the press release reads:

Most of the benefits of introducing a digital currency are still unquantifiable. However, they include a potential suppression of economic costs associated with cash usage, and benefits to the Government from improved expenditure and tax administration systems. It is expected that the Government, as participant and user, would be a strong promoter of digital payments adoption, alongside non-bank payment services providers as the initial lead intermediaries in this space.
