DCC and Oxford Saïd establish academic partnership to cultivate blockchain research

DCC has collaborated with The University of Oxford’s Saïd School of Business to create the DCC Career Development Fellow, supervised by Alan Morrison, Professor of Law and Finance at Saïd Business School.

Funded by DCC, this new fellowship research program will foster insights into the fintech sector, focusing on the regulation and governance of cryptocurrency and the application of blockchain technology in the banking and finance industry.

Stewie Zhu, founder and CEO of DCC, is an alumnus of Oxford and has an MSc in Financial Economics (2009).

Blockchain Summer Cocktails with DCC in Silicon Valley

On July 19, DCC hosted Blockchain Summer Cocktails: the Intersection of Innovation and Banking at Plug and Play’s (PNP) headquarters in Silicon Valley.

Following the signing ceremony was a ‘fireside chat’ between Stewie Zhu and Scott Robinson, founder and VP of Plug and Play FinTech. They discussed how blockchain technology could transform the financial industry, help prevent the next financial crisis, and shape the business pattern of venture capital.

Tech Developments

We are developing the IPFS-based framework for personal data management for the DCC ecosystem.

The smart contract for personal data management is also under development. Users can use this smart contract to manage their IPFS data.

The latest version of BitExpress is now available! In this version, we’ve improved the transaction logic. Users can cancel or edit transactions, and will thus have a smoother experience using the platform.

Last week, users submitted over 1,000 loan applications on BitExpress. Over 300,000 DCC tokens have been awarded to users who participated in mining.

BitExpress will be pushing notifications when a new version becomes available. Please always make sure that you’re using the latest version to enjoy the best experience!

The English version of BitExpress will be available by the end of July. During the roadshow in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, we’ll be showcasing this DApp.

Now, our partnering data service providers are developing a customized verification process for local users, and loan services of fiat money will soon be available in Vietnam.

The DCC Open Platform will launch individual data service packages starting next week. Lending institutions can render data verification services independently, without going through complicated processes or undertaking compliance risks.

We’re connecting DCC’s database with data service providers in Indonesia, helping to expand our reach!

The development team is working to finalize the mobile phone purchase platform — this will make online purchasing a breeze!
