In addition to this, Germany is about to come up with blockchain bond regulations enabling bonds to be issued as crypto tokens on a blockchain. That’s what local daily business news outlet Handelsblatt has recently uncovered.

Besides this, crypto exchange Binance is on the verge of resuming deposits as well as withdrawals on Tuesday having suffered a hack the previous week.
