🇨🇦 Coinbase Woos Canada's Big Banks

Coinbase, the U.S.-based cryptocurrency titan, is making fresh footprints in the snowy land of Canada.

Having just initiated their operations this month in maple syrup country, Coinbase is now whispering sweet nothings to Canada's banking behemoths, hoping to stir a pro-crypto sentiment.Coinbase suddenly realizes there is another country north of the border!As Lucas Matheson, Director of Coinbase’s Canada ventures, pointed out, a whopping majority of Canadians trust their finances with the "Big Five" – the Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank, Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal, and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.While Matheson stopped short of dropping names, he's optimistic about these banks jumping on the crypto sled in the coming quarters.In a world where some regulators seem to "shoot first and ask questions later" (mentioning no names 😉), Canada, Matheson suggests, prefers a nice chat over a cup of tea.As a Brit...I totally endorse a good cup of tea (and not that Lipton yellow-label garbage!) 🫖 The goal? Melding the digital asset frontier with Canada's ambition to be its trailblazer.

🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦 EU Coaches Ukraine's Cops on Crypto Crimes

Picture this: Sherlock Holmes, but in the digital age, chasing not thieves in London's fog but tracking invisible digital currency trails.

Ukraine's police force is getting a modern makeover, thanks to some tutoring from the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM).Their mission? To demystify the cryptic world of cryptocurrency crimes in Ukraine. 🔎

From the cobbled streets of Lviv to the heart of Ukraine, intelligence officers are arming themselves with the tools to track crypto assets and sharpen their investigative prowess.The reason for this crypto crash course?The Ukrainian Bureau of Economic Security (BEB) rings the alarm on a staggering UAH 3 billion ($81 million) lost in taxes due to unregulated crypto exchanges in the past decade.

It's no secret. Ukraine's legislative labyrinths currently offer no clear path for regulating crypto transactions.Yeah but...I wonder what is on their "secret" agenda...it's not like there's a bit of a kafuffle going on in the area, right? 🙊A seminar hosting a medley of officials - from the National Police to the Prosecutor’s Office - dug deep into open-source tools that can help crack crypto conundrums.In a world where crypto poses new challenges, collaboration and a dash of old-school detective spirit might just be Ukraine's best bet.

♻️ SingularityNET Joins Forces with VeChain for a Greener Future

Imagine a world where Iron Man's J.A.R.V.I.S meets the impregnable blockchain.

This might not be sci-fi anymore, thanks to a groundbreaking collaboration between AI giant SingularityNET and blockchain firm VeChain.Their goal is to harness the prowess of AI and blockchain to combat the ever-looming specter of climate change.The word on the (digital) street is that their alliance could significantly trim down carbon emissions.

Ben Goertzel, the visionary behind SingularityNET, paints a picture where blockchain and AI don't just coexist but complement each other.Like Romeo and Juliet... but we all know how that ended up! 🧪🗡️🪦🪦In a world where traditional methods have faltered in battling climate woes, Goertzel believes that their alliance might be the secret sauce.He quipped, "When the right AI algorithms meet the right data... magic can happen."

And as this digital dance gathers pace, one thing's for sure: the world might just be on the brink of an AI and blockchain renaissance.Or a SkyNet situation?...just saying! 🤖
