Why not build on ethereum instead of creating a private blockchain from scratch?
That's the question JP Morgan asked today with a new announcement, and it's not the first to do so. Just in the past couple of weeks, Thomson Reuters and Bank of America/Microsoft announced similar ventures.

But there's more:
· What do you get when you put 50 lawyers in a room? A blockchain coalition.
· Broadridge escalates blockchain activity with proxy voting investment. Tell me more.
· Could bitcoin-based voting actually become a thing? EU says maybe.
· Hyperledger focuses blockchain power on healthcare. Cool ideas.
· Who’s going to be speaking at Scaling Bitcoin this weekend? Info here.
· Blockstream changes leaders. Now who?
· R3 boosts presence in Singapore. How?
