 The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is seeking a digital asset solution to facilitate the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="seizure" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/seizure.html">seizure</a> and storage of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency and nonfungible tokens (NFTs). According to an announcement, a tender was opened for applications on Aug. 10 for a solution to store seized digital assets: 
 <blockquote>
 “The development of a centralized repository solution would allow police officers to seize these assets in a user friendly manner, while also offering significant security to prevent the theft of said assets during their storage.” 
 </blockquote> 
 The RCMP demands 17 requirements from the future <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="repository" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/repository.html">repository</a>. Among them is the ability to process transactions for the top 20 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currency blockchains by market capitalization and the scalability to support new blockchains in the future. The RCMP also intends to grant access to its data to users who need it. As for NFTs, the RCMP has deemed it necessary to enable the holding of Ethereum, Solana and Polygon-based NFTs.&nbsp;
