Brussels, Belgium, September 6th, 2024, Chainwire

 

Aleph Zero will work alongside the world’s largest telecommunications organizations to help to develop standardized blockchain APIs for the industry

Aleph Zero, a blockchain ecosystem engineered for speed, data confidentiality, and ease of development, has officially joined the CAMARA Foundation as a General Member. This strategic move marks a significant step towards integrating advanced blockchain technology with global telecommunications standards, particularly in the realm of Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).

As a General Member, Aleph Zero will work closely with global telecom and tech leaders within CAMARA to develop and contribute to blockchain-specific initiatives. A key focus of this collaboration will be the Blockchain Public Address API, which has the potential to revolutionize how users interact with blockchain technologies through their mobile devices.

The CAMARA Project, launched in 2021 under the Linux Foundation and GSMA, aims to create standardized APIs for telecommunications networks. This initiative is designed to simplify network complexities and provide seamless access to network capabilities across different operators and countries. A cornerstone of this effort is the Blockchain Public Address API, which was initiated in June 2023 and is currently in version 0.1.0. The CAMARA Project now includes over 230 companies – including Deutsche Telekom, stc, Vodafone and Telefónica – and 650 individual participants.

This API allows for the management of blockchain addresses associated with phone numbers, offering features such as retrieval of blockchain public addresses linked to phone numbers, and the binding and unbinding of these addresses. By utilizing blockchain public addresses as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs), the API enables telecom service providers to offer third parties the capability to pair phone numbers with blockchain addresses, thereby simplifying transactions for end-users.

Aleph Zero’s expertise in zero-knowledge proofs and privacy-preserving technologies will contribute significantly to the further development and refinement of the group’s blockchain-related solutions.

Antoni Zolciak, co-founder at Aleph Zero, said: “The integration of blockchain technology into mainstream infrastructure is accelerating at an unprecedented rate. Forward-thinking organizations across various sectors are recognizing the transformative potential of distributed ledger technologies. We’re looking forward to collaborating with various members of the Foundation and contributing to the telecommunications APIs from a blockchain standpoint.”

Aleph Zero, known for its cutting-edge blockchain ecosystem, offers secure, scalable, and privacy-focused solutions for Web3 applications. With its zkOS and EVM Layer 2 network, Aleph Zero continues to push the boundaries of blockchain technology, focusing on privacy, scalability, and interoperability. Aleph Zero recently launched its EVM-layer, an exceptionally fast and efficient blockchain, boasting a block time of up to 250 milliseconds with near-instant transaction finality.

SC Ventures leads investment in One Trading following landmark European crypto derivatives trading approval

2024-09-17T08:00:00Z
  • One Trading is the first MiFID II trading venue for perpetual futures in the EU and is the first regulated derivatives exchange in Europe accessible to retail clients
  • Existing investor MiddleGame Ventures increased its stake in One Trading, while Valar and SpeedInvest also participated

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SC Ventures, Standard Chartered’s innovation, fintech investment and ventures arm, has made a strategic investment in One Trading, a leading European crypto-asset exchange. As part of this round, existing investor MiddleGame Ventures increased its stake in One Trading, while Valar and SpeedInvest also participated. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“As a major, multinational bank with a commitment to innovation, SC Ventures is dedicated to driving digital assets market infrastructure. We welcome them as an investor in the company and believe they can add a lot of value to One Trading and our clients,” said Joshua Barraclough, Founder and CEO of One Trading.

One Trading will use the investment to support launching the first crypto perpetual futures in the European Union (EU) as a MiFID II trading venue. The MiFID II is a regulatory framework the EU rolled out in 2018 to increase transparency and improve investor protections across European financial markets. In July 2024, the Dutch financial market regulator granted One Trading an Organised Trading Facility (OTF) License, which establishes One Trading as a MiFID II trading venue.

First regulated derivatives exchange in Europe accessible to retail clients

With the OTF License approval, One Trading is the only crypto perpetual futures trading venue in the EU and the first cash-settled perpetuals platform in Europe, including the UK. One Trading is also the first regulated derivatives exchange in Europe which will be accessible to retail clients. 

The OTF license approval marks a milestone in One Trading's multi-year journey with the Dutch Financial Markets Authority (AFM) and the Dutch Central Bank (DNB) to revolutionize derivatives trading and bring crypto futures onshore in the EU. 

Strategic partnerships

“Financial innovation should not come at the cost of consumer protection, that’s why we are glad to see One Trading receiving the OTF License. We congratulate the team on becoming the first MiFID II trading venue for crypto perpetual futures in the EU,” said Alex Manson, CEO of SC Ventures. “We look forward to One Trading providing much needed infrastructure to all participants in the EU and further afield.”

“We saw the potential for One Trading early in its journey and we are delighted to be participating with SC Ventures and others in this investment. We are happy to support One Trading to become the undisputed leading onshore, licensed and institutional trading venue the digital assets market has been clamouring for,” said Pascal Bouvier, Managing Partner, MiddleGame Ventures.
