Chinese messaging and internet giant Tencent has received the green light to lead in the development of the first international standards for blockchain-based invoices. The project was approved by the State Administration of Taxation in China, a report by Chinese outlet Global Times revealed. Named “General Framework for DLT-Based Invoices”, the project reportedly received the support of the U.K., Brazil, Switzerland and Sweden during an international meeting on e-invoice standards. Tencent, which is the parent company of popular messaging platform WeChat, will partner with the taxation bureau in Shenzhen on the project.

Grubhub: Don't Fight An Overly Competitive Market
GRUB (GrubHub Inc.) | Seeking Alpha
The thesis with Grubhub has always been that the market valued the company based off peak earnings in a market segment where aggressive competitors weren't going to give up on a global online food market, now targeted at approaching $200 billion in 2025. Evidently, this concept just hit a wall as the easy expansion in the online food ordering and delivery sector maxed out.
