The states of Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and Paraná will be the first to adopt this new system, utilizing a private blockchain developed by Serpro, Brazil's national data processing service, according to an official announcement by the government. The announcement says that the entire country should be able to issue identity documents through blockchain technology by November 6. The decision to leverage blockchain technology for digital identity stems from its inherent properties of immutability and decentralization.

Japan is aiming to become a crypto and Web3 “powerhouse,” South Korean analysts and experts believe - but some think Seoul still has what it takes to surpass Tokyo. Per Chosun Ilbo, South Korea’s biggest newspaper, Seoul-based crypto firms are concerned by the Japanese government’s proactive Web3 -fostering policies. These policies have the power to turn Japan, South Korea’s long-standing political and economic rival, into a “crypto and Web3 El Dorado”. The newspaper wrote: “While South Korea, once considered a powerhouse in virtual assets, is declining due to government regulations and a decline in investors, Japan is on the rise. The government taking the lead with the implementation of support measures [for the sector] and the easing of regulations”.

The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) have jointly released a report that provides growing trends in the cryptocurrency industry in Latin America and the Caribbean. Anderson Caputo, chief of the IDB’s finance division says the industry has the potential to be a “game-changer” for financial inclusion in LatAm and the Caribbean: “By providing new opportunities for payments infrastructure, cross-border payments, digital identity, and other services, cryptoassets could help to bring financial services to those who are currently underserved”.

Argentina’s central bank has expressly backed Sergio Massa’s bid to roll out a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) if elected President. CBDC was pushed to aid in a new tax regime leveraging blockchain technology to trace transactions: “By having traceability of operations with a digital currency because it is not known who does them, but there is evidence that they were done, you broaden the tax base. This will allow you to raise more without having to raise taxes and even lower them” (Juan Agustín D’Attellis Noguera, a director of Banco Central de la República Argentina).

Ethereum's recent surge in ether (ETH) staking, spurred by the Merge and Shanghai upgrades, has raised concerns surrounding centralization and reduced overall staking yields, according to last Thursday report by JPMorgan. Despite decentralized alternatives like Lido's liquid staking platform, Ethereum's increasing centralization poses risks to the network's security and decentralization ethos. The rise of liquid staking has also introduced the risk of rehypothecation, where liquidity tokens are reused as collateral across multiple decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols simultaneously.

Police in Russia have reportedly arrested an entrepreneur and “crypto influencer” known as Bitmama, aka the “Queen of Crypto,” on fraud charges. Valeria “Bitmama” Fedyakina was detained by police on September 15 after an “acquaintance” filed a fraud complaint. The unnamed “acquaintance” claimed Fedyakina had duped him into handing over almost $70 million. Police reportedly believe that other individuals also invested their money with Fedyakina, but suspected that she was in fact operating a “financial pyramid.”

Huobi has promised to reward the cybercriminals with a 5% bonus for the stolen funds - about $395K. In addition, the exchange is planning to hire the hacker as a security consultant.
