Changhong is developing the underlying blockchain security suite of the alliance chain
Tang Bo, head of Changhong Information Security Beacon Laboratory, said at the first China Internet of Things Security Summit Forum in 2019 that what really hinders the networking of smart devices is not the standardization of technology and communication protocols and marketing efforts, but centralized thinking. If you use decentralized thinking to open up the platforms, form a decentralized network structure, and realize the mutual linkage between smart devices, you can form a flexible distributed system. In this scenario, blockchain technology is undoubtedly the most suitable and irreplaceable. He also said that Changhong has applied for relevant patents in the blockchain-based Internet of Things interconnection core architecture, and there are chip security services and blockchain security suites at the bottom of the alliance chain, which is also the direction Changhong is developing.

Analyst: U.S. government shutdown provides excuse for CBOE to withdraw Bitcoin ETF application
Recently, CBOE withdrew its application for listing and trading VanEck SolidX Bitcoin ETF products. According to VanEck, the U.S. government shutdown caused them to withdraw their Bitcoin ETF application. But U.S. government securities law expert Jake Chervinsky believes that VanEck has more reasons to withdraw the Bitcoin ETF application. It expects the SEC to reject their filing; and doesn't want any worse publicity for its crypto offerings. There will be no Bitcoin ETFs in Q1 2019. Mati Greenspan, senior market analyst at eToro, also said the proposal has little chance of success. SEC Chairman Jay Clayton has been emphasizing that the bitcoin market is not mature enough for an ETF. While the government shutdown has put more pressure on the review of the Bitcoin ETF process, the firm has also realized that it will not be able to convince regulators by the deadline. The closing seems to give VanEck the perfect excuse to delay its ETF launch voluntarily. (Newsbtc)
On the 25th local time, Trump officially signed the temporary funding bill to end the government "shutdown" and maintain the federal government until February 15th. Although the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened its doors again, it is still impossible to review Bitcoin ETFs as soon as possible. The American technology blog TechCrunch stated that after the government reopens, the SEC will be surrounded by a pile of IPO backlog documents, and the three-week window period is also limited. Doesn't offer enough coverage for companies rushing to start the IPO paperwork. At the same time, the restart of the U.S. Commodity Futures Commission (CFTC) does not mean that Bakkt will be approved soon. The CFTC has no deadline for reviewing Bakkt, so within a limited time within three weeks, Bakkt’s application may not be prioritized. Only when the door closure is expected to dissipate again, will Bakkt's audit really be put on the agenda. (Singularity Finance)

Former Citigroup employee and Vision Hill Advisors partner Dan Zuller recently tweeted that digital assets are still risky assets, so they may be more vulnerable, and it is easier to trigger a "market winter" in a macro bear market. But it noted that Bitcoin is evolving and becoming a global reserve asset. But it would be remiss not to note that Bitcoin’s eventual supremacy in the financial sector will not be established over “multiple macro cycles,” as the cryptocurrency still needs to prove its “monetization and economic independence.” (News BTC)
