On Tuesday night<\/a>, the Berkeley City Council unanimously voted in favor of evaluating the benefits of a pilot venture that aims to deploy blockchain technology to raise funds for local community initiatives.<\/p>\n

If successful, the project proposes to sell an \u201cundetermined amount of municipal bonds\u201d using blockchain services to investors in hopes of raising money for local developmental overhauls.<\/p>\n

Initiated by Vice Mayor Ben Bartlett<\/a>, the new venture is designed to facilitate a funding method that will increase community investment into Berkeley\u2019s financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Bartlett said<\/a> in a recent interview that he wants to use blockchain technology to issue micro-bonds because he wants the city to be able to produce bonds in denominations within the $10 – $25 range \u2014\u00a0 since they are a more financially viable option for the\u00a0average investor.<\/p>\n

He further elucidated his vision for the future and mentioned<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting course for the market to be expanding in, particularly in light of what is happening with the creeping poverty. The idea is to issue micro-bonds via the blockchain and if the process allows it, we could go a step further and drive resources via a tokenized currency.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While the council at large remained enthusiastic about the concepts put forth during the work session, Councilwoman Susan Wengraf remained a little skeptical of the project. While openly admitting to her lack of knowledge of alt-currencies, she added:<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know much about it, but I know it\u2019s very unstable. The examples used by other communities successfully [issuing mini-bonds] was based on dollars – cash, not cryptocurrency. I would be very happy to support the first part of the proposal and [be] more skeptical about cryptocurrency.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What changes will this move usher in?<\/h2>\n

If given the green light, Berkeley could be on its way to becoming the first city in the US to launch its very own fundraising effort.<\/p>\n

What makes this venture so appealing is the fact it looks to merge blockchain technology with municipal bonds so as to make transactions more “efficient and transparent” for city residents.<\/p>\n

Putting local bonds onto a blockchain could also have the added advantage of saving funds for citizens as it cuts out many intermediary costs involved with conventional bond transactions.<\/p>\n

In Closing<\/h2>\n

The idea of a municipal token<\/a> was first introduced by the Berkeley City Council in February after US President Donald Trump tweeted that as part of his new immigration plan, Berkeley, a sanctuary city, could potentially lose its federal funding if it did not cooperate with the government's new immigration laws.<\/p>\n

According to the city\u2019s current administration staff, issuing a municipal token can be one way of avoiding \u201cbudget shortfalls\u201d that have been a result of resisting the current presidential administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
