Like always, most major altcoins followed bitcoin in outperforming this past week and gaining more and more. 

Without further ado, let’s take a look at the major highlights of last week in the amazing world of crypto.

According to a blog post by Energy Web, DENA partnered with over 20 crypto and blockchain entities to enable ‘energy assets in Germany, such as thermostats, solar PV systems, batteries, and electric vehicle charging stations to undertake automatic registration with a decentralized ledger of identities, allowing their utilization by the German grid for a range of services such as virtual power plants and frequency regulation’.

The project also hopes to control CO2 emissions by creating a CO2 mapping tool that is able to determine what are the next climate policies to be enforced based on a transparent database. The report adds: ‘The ideal case would be a city equipped with sensors that record current environmental values and CO 2 emissions. Such a city does not yet exist in Germany. With the already existing possibilities of digitization, however, it is possible to approach this ideal’.

Before joining, Jenkins worked as Deputy Group Finance Director and CFO for Europe at HSBC, CRO at Abbey National, plc, and Santander UK. As well as COO Asia Pacific at Credit Suisse, according to the announcement.

According to the website, the new Trezor Suite is a ‘new workspace where you can manage your hardware wallet and portfolio at once, with greater privacy and completely secured by your Trezor device’.

Trezor says that the desktop app would be in public beta until January. 

Ripple, a real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange, and remittance network, launched a new beta service, Line of Credit. This new service designed to enable customers to benefit from its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service to source capital on-demand, and initiate cross-border payments with the use of the XRP token. 

According to the statement, 'Line of Credit aims to solve the barriers for customers by providing upfront access to capital for every market through one simple credit arrangement – simplifying access to financial solutions that accelerate business performance and scale'.
