 On Nov. 8, the first-of-its-kind Institute of Crypto-Assets held a formal opening at the Léonard de Vinci center in the business district just outside of Paris.&nbsp;
 The Institute will support and conduct <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="research" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/research.html">research</a> related to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="blockchain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/blockchain.html">blockchain</a> technology and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>currencies. Its scientific board includes 11 experts from major French educational institutions, such as the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and École polytechnique. A committee of 6 practitioners, including co-founder of Ledger, Nicolas Bacca, and founder of the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> exchange Paymium, Pierre Noizat, will also oversee the work of the Institute.
 According to Cyril Grunspan, the director of the Cryptoassets Institute, it will focus primarily on educational goals:
 <blockquote>
 “Our goal is not to lobby but to create a forum for discussion on cryptoassets.”
 </blockquote>
 Two lectures accompanied the opening: historian Jacques Favier spoke about the history of currencies up to Bitcoin, and <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a>grapher David Pointcheval ruminated on zero-knowledge proofs and anonymity. The Institute is going to hold such public events regularly.&nbsp;
