**Japan is seriously going in to Bitcoin mining**
So after Russia, now Japan is being pretty serious about mining Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. Earlier GMO announced that they would enter the mining business and intend to develop a chip that would be four time faster than the fastest ASIC miner at the moment. Now another company from Japan has the ambition to be in the top 3 of largest mining pools and have the ambition to be in the top 10 next year. Seems there will be a little bit more decentralization in this space now.

**Rivetz**
Rivetz has partnered with Telefonica USA ($53 Billion market cap), a company that deliveres integrated communication services for the B2B market,  to integrate their technology with Telefonica's cyber threat detection & response services

**Central Bank of Kenya**
And then some more FUD, as if it is not enough lately, the central bank of Kenya forbids banks in Kenya to do business with Bitcoin coin companies
