EXCHANGEFirst Global Blockchain Conference in China 14 June, including Vitalik, Consensys and the major Chinese exchanges (i.redd.it)submitted by redditor for 3 monthsEthereum activities are rising in China, due to increasing interests in the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance and the Ethereum network’s applicability to a wide range of infrastructures across various industries.Chinese bitcoin exchanges have recognized a surge in interest and demand for Ethereum and as a result, several major bitcoin exchanges including OKCoin have announced the integration of support for Ethereum or Ether trading.On March 31, nine days prior to releasing its newly updated Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) systems, OKCoin confirmed with CnLedger, a trusted cryptocurrency news source in China, that the exchange will introduce support for ETH trading in the near future.“Our source tells us OKCoin is now planning on listing Ethereum.“May list it at the appropriate time.” Confirmed by OKC customer service.” Several users were skeptical towards the announcement of CnLedger as many sources previously confirmed that OKCoin was to introduce ETH support last year.

However, CnLedger reaffirmed that it directly confirmed with representatives of OKCoin in regard to their integration of ETH support.Once major exchanges including OKCoin begin to support ETH trading, the Chinese Ethereum industry will likely experience an exponential growth, similar to South Korea.Currently, the South Korean Ethereum exchange market is the second largest behind the US exchange market.cs go bitcoin farmingThe integration of ETH support by local Chinese exchanges is likely to result in a competition between the Ethereum markets between China and South Korea.bitcoin naikMoreover, CnLedger also confirmed that two Ethereum and Enterprise Ethereum Alliance (EEA) meetups will be held in China this month.elliott waves bitcoinThe first meet up on April 24 will be held in Beijing and the second event will be held on April 26, in Shanghai.bitcoin sicher sichern

EEA meetups are important discussion platforms for both Ethereum and Ethereum-utilizing corporations.In the Taiwan EEA meetup for instance, Vitalik Buterin encountered many multi-billion dollar companies including the $52.4 billion Anglo-Australian multinational mining, metals and petroleum company BHP Billiton that have been actively developing applications on top of the EEA framework for greater levels of transparency and security.bitcoin la moneda mas caraThere exists many consortia in China that are actively investigating the potential of blockchain technology in conventional multi-trillion dollar industries.bitcoin futures cmeChinaLedger for instance, the blockchain alliance led by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs, already released a white paper on its blockchain technology in January of this year.The introduction of EEA in China will likely spur the interests of large-scale corporations and businesses, given the developmental framework of Ethereum which grants flexibility and functionality with features and technologies such as smart contracts.

Since consortia such as ChinaLedger are working with some of the largest organizations and influential regulators in the region, and the government of China itself is heavily involved in the development of blockchain, the country is a huge market for Ethereum and EEA to target.With major trading platforms and meetups focusing on supporting Ethereum and leading discussions on the applicability of Ethereum network, the adoption of Ethereum within China is expected to increase significantly in the upcoming months.For the second year running, Microsoft will be the Premiere Sponsor of the Ethereum developer conference Devcon2 slated for Shanghai in September where the most up-to-date research and development work supported by the Ethereum Foundation will be showcased.Prime location in Shanghai The Foundation is working with Wanxiang Blockchain Labs this year to jointly host their respective events during the International Blockchain Week at Hyatt on the Bund between September 19 and 24.

This is based on their realization that both Ethereum’s Devcon1 and Wanxiang Blockchain Labs’ Global Blockchain Summit sold out events last year would have a greater impact if interested people can attend both events in the same week.The combined event will feature a unique three-segment format that will allow people to attend any combination of days that best addresses their needs.There will be a Demo Day (by Blockchain Labs and ChainB, one of China’s leading blockchain news agencies) for startups and investors.Xiao Feng, Executive Director of Wanxiang Holdings, says: “I firmly believe this year’s International Blockchain Week in Shanghai will further promote the technology in China, provide an opportunity for sharing knowledge between countries, building a stronger relationship between talents, and encouraging the use of blockchain technology in start-ups.” Microsoft, a Blockchain-as-a-service leader The release says experts from Microsoft, an early leader with its Blockchain-as-a-Service (BaaS) that provides an open, hyperscale cloud platform and an expanding ecosystem of blockchain technologies for businesses, consortiums and governments who are looking to adopt the technology, will speak to Ethereum developers about Microsoft Azure’s leading tools for blockchain technology development.

“We’re thrilled to support the Ethereum Foundation’s Devcon2, which will bring together pioneers in blockchain from all over the world,” said Marley Gray, Director of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Business Development at Microsoft.“The Ethereum blockchain is powerful, and we’re looking forward to continuing the collaborative relationship with the Ethereum community, together bringing the best of blockchain technology to our cloud platform, Microsoft Azure.”Receive updates on CoinDesk Events Keep up to date with the latest bitcoin event news on CoinDesk.You can also check out local Bitcoin Meetups in your area.CoinDesk also runs the Consensus Conference and an 'Expert Briefings' series.If you would like to partner with us on an event, then please get in touch.Contact us with details of your event if you would like us to include it in our bitcoin event listings.The Devcon2 web site is officially live now!/devcon/ Thanks for everyone’s interest, proposals, support and enthusiasm.
