A global central bank test lab has designed a prototype bitcoin monitoring system aimed at giving authorities a clearer picture on how, when and where the cryptocurrency is used. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) project, codenamed Atlas, began at the Dutch central bank more than five years ago, but its potential value has been underscored over the last 18 months by a series of chaotic collapses across the crypto industry.

The origins of dragons can be traced back millennia across the world. The word itself first appeared in English in the 13th century, derived from the Latin draconem, which again came from the Greek drakon meaning “serpent” or “giant seafish”.

A Seattle-based startup backed by some of the investors behind Beyond Meat is launching the world's first beanless coffee this week as it bids to slash the environmental impact of the popular brew. The innovation has caught the eye of investors, who have poured $51.6 million into Atomo Coffee in the hope that its brew - which uses superfoods and upcycled ingredients to mimic the molecular structure of coffee - will be a hit with consumers.
