WISEBITCOIN LAUNCHES THE FIRST EVER CRYPTOCURRENCY TRADING PLATFORM WITH LEVERAGE LEVELS UP TO 20:1

Cryptocurrency trading just became faster and easier than ever before with the launch of Wisebitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency trading service offering leverage levels up to 20:1 utilizing the MetaTrader 5 trading engine.

KINGSTOWN, ST VINCENTANDGRENADINES MAY 26, 2018— Wisebitcoin is pleased to announce that their pioneering cryptocurrency trading platform is now up and running. The platform utilizes the MT5 trading engine, and has earned the distinction of becoming the first ever crypto trading platform with leverage levels that may extend up to 20:1. The team behind the creation of this start-up have a wealth of experience in the margin trading industry and are now applying their expertise to the cryptocurrency domain.

While cryptocurrency trading commonly begins solely with a buy to open order, margin trading allows the traders to open orders by either buying or selling. This means that depending on their views, the traders can take advantage of the market’s volatility by taking short or long positions. Moreover, margin trading also allows taking more cryptocurrency positions compared to the funds in the margin account. Though extremely profitable and popular, experts suggest a cautious approach to trading with the margin accounts, because if the trader’s equity drops below the minimum required margin, excessive leverage may lead to losses.

Wisebitcoin has built a user-friendly platform where traders thrive in a sound and secure trading environment. The primary areas of emphasis for this platform are fast and secure executions and proactive customer service. The company has partnered with several global cryptocurrency exchanges to offer the industry’s most reliable and secure trading environment. Wisebitcoin has already adopted a plethora of popular cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, BitcoinCash, Ethereum, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, Ripple, Dash, Augur, Gnosis, Melon and many others. They also have over 40 names in the trading venue.

Some of the most important features of Wisebitcoin include:

  • Leveraged trading and long or short positioning
  • Anywhere from 1:1 to 20:1 leverage levels, depending on the instruments
  • The option to either buy or sell to open
  • Deposit and withdrawal via bank wire, e-wallet, credit card, or crypto
  • Universally standardized MT5 Mobile/Webtrader/Download

Wisebitcoin currently offers three different types of product groups:

  • Crypto Currency 5d: Ideal for short-term momentum traders using highly liquid major coins
  • Crypto Currency 7d: Suitable for Alt Coin traders and long-term investors in major coins
  • Token Trading: Great choice for Bitcoin/Ethereum holders using the service for margin requirements to facilitate long/short positions in a larger selection of coins

 

Wisebitcoin is part of Land Prime Group, which owns well established financial institutions including Land-FX UK, Land-Liquidity, Land-FX of St Vincent and Grenadines.With subsidiaries all over the world, the group is known for its emphasis on safety and soundness in FX margin trading. With their support, Wisebitcoin has built a team of top notch engineers and developers to meet the ever increasing demand for online security and reliability.

“For the first time in the industry, our platform is exclusively designed to facilitate the needs of Cryptocurrency trading in a way no other margin trading exchanges have before,” claims  a senior spokesperson from Wisebitcoin. “With such exclusivity, we are confident that we can help our users trade without any friction.”

About Wisebitcoin: Wisebitcoin is the first ever crypto trading platform with leverage levels up to 20:1. This user-friendly platform allows traders to take advantage of the global blockchain market’s rapid growth and offers a sound and reliable trading environment with an emphasis on fast and secure execution and customer services.

EXPERTS WOW AS MARK.SPACE LAUNCHES UNIT EXCHANGE AND DESIGNER RENDERS – MARK.SPACE

MAY 25, 2018MARK.SPACE, which operates world’s first open-source, platform-agnostic 3D, VR and AR-compatible ecosystem, today announced two major technological developments: the upcoming launch of their own unit trading platform UNITEX, as well as some spectacular additions to the design of their virtual universe – a rich variety of highly-realistic and thematic 3D renders.

MARK.SPACE enables businesses, e-commerce merchants, and private individuals to quickly and easily create a fully 3D, VR and AR-compatible world that can be accessed from any device with any browser, while also being well-suited for any VR-enabled headset. Using simple and easy-to-use proprietary tools developed by MARK.SPACE, users can develop state-of-the-art virtual ‘units’, and the 3D objects inside these units. Currently, five localized cities are open for settlement: Japan, China, Russia, Korea, and Global. The latter is already at its 80% capacity. To date, the company has raised a total of US$22 million from investors globally.

Set to launch in the end of May 2018, UNITEX, yet another convenient embranchment of the platform, will serve as an online exchange for existing units within the MARK.SPACE Universe. It will enable registered users (of which there already are approximately fifty-thousand, with the number steadily rising), to use this handy tool to browse, sell, buy, or exchange units with others registered in the system. Like all MARK.SPACE add-ons, packages and applications, UNITEX will be accessible through MARK.SPACE PASS – the users personal account that interconnects all of the platform’s integrations.

In terms of VR-compatibility, one of MARK.SPACE’s unique selling point has always been the know-how creation and integration of ultra-light weighted and, at the same time, incredibly realistic 3D-renders. Back in December 2017, the platform pleasantly surprised its Community and even more so the industry experts by launching and making publicly accessible their free visual Constructor. Today, MARK.SPACE is adding extensive designer packs to its already impressive 3D-template collection. Users will soon be able to choose from four designer packs, called “Lite”, “Smart”, “Exclusive”, and “Individual”, respectively. Each pack will include various thematic interior styles, decorative elements and items of interior.

MARK.SPACE is also allowing its residents to place project orders, after which 3D-architects will create unique location designs customized to someone’s specific order. Users can send their own templates, pictures, photographs, videos and such, which all could be integrated into their MARK.SPACE Units. Acquirers of customized designs can even choose to buy exclusive ownership rights to all unique decoration elements created. Some of the extensive designer packs are already available to registered users, with more to follow.

MARK.SPACE is an open-source platform for creation of 3D, VR and AR-compatible websites, available on any browser, on any device, and without pre-installation or pre-registration. Users don’t need to know even the basics of programming to create VR-compatible web-spaces and headgear is optional. HTML5 frontend development allows to connect any top-level domain to any space in the virtual universe of MARK.SPACE. Website: http://mark.space

LocalCoinSwap might change how we trade, buy and sell cryptocurrencies

Blockchain technology has slowly creeped into every single aspect of modern business, with the technology rapidly expanding into most elements of our daily lives.

Almost every industry is making plans to embrace this exciting technology to some extent in the future. That being said, outside of bitcoin which has received massive media coverage in the recent years, other cryptocurrencies can still seem a little complex for users new to the space, whether it’s the purchasing, buying or selling.

There are a few platforms designed to make this process easier; for instance, the likes of Paxful and LocalBitcoins allow for the exchange of digital currency, but unfortunately this is restricted to very few assets at the moment.

One company looking to revolutionise this industry is LocalCoinSwap, It has hit on a real pain point and it wants to create a solution. Up until now, the difficulty to directly purchase cryptocurrencies or digital assets outside of an exchange from another individual has been an issue for many. Many people encounter problems with the exchanges who enforce overzealous KYC and AML regulations, high trading fees, breaking customers privacy and various other problems, not forgetting the useless customer support, cough!… CoinBase.

LocalCoinSwap is attempting to solve these common problems, while at the same time avoiding the downfalls of centralized exchanges.

How does it work?

It is a decentralised marketplace, where individual users can buy and sell any any cryptocurrency with any possible payment method. There is no external exchange market here and it is hoping to hit a niche in the market, where users can exchange any cryptocurrency – not just the usual bitcoin.

Its main quality is that it really does cut out the middleman. It allows users to find a match other users on the platform using the LCS as a traditional escrow system, which helps secure the safe transaction of coins.

Its fees aren’t massive either – they will range from three to ten percent.

Who is behind it?

The young and innovative team behind LCS include Economics graduate, Nathan Worsely. He is a bit of a whizz, having already had a series of exciting and successful trading algorithms made and implemented.

He is the founder and CTO of LCS and is also the person behind Digital Assets Management Ltd. Worsely is also an experienced high volume P2P trader on LocalBitcoins.com himself.

The CFO of the team is Thomas Underwood. He is an accounting graduate, with experience as a financial analyst and business development manager, with roles at major Australian and international private companies. He is also the Australian Regional Manager for TradingView.com
Token

LocalCoinSwap practices what it preaches – it has its own token, called LCS. Its an active cryptoshare and for anyone considering it, you should know that the platform wants to distribute literally 100 percent of profits made by their p2p exchange service to the respective shareholders.

Thus, if you get in on the ground level, you could be in for a big chunk of cash as the business grows. LCS holders will also get airdrops of new listed ICO tokens on the LocalCoinSwap platform.

The total supply of LCS tokens is 100 million units, with 70 million of them being distributed through the various crowdsale stages. Meanwhile, there are 20 million reserved for sale at a later date.

Ten million have also been reserved for the platform in order to operate and keep updating their services.

If transparency is important to you, then you’re in luck as LCS will adhere to that in its entirety. Their OpenSource code on GitHub will be accessible by everyone.

The starting price of an LCS is set to 0.0004 ETH, making 1 ETH equal to 2500 LCS.

Investment Details

Symbol: LCS
Platform: Ethereum

LocalCoinSwap independent review

Peer-to-peer crypto exchanges are hot stuff at the moment with many users preferring them over centralised alternatives, they solve many of the faults and bugbears that currently exist. From our independent research we believe that LocalCoinSwap will rapidly take a large chunk of the P2P trading volume when it launches in August 2018 from its closest competitors due to the multi coin support which will open the platform to millions of new users. The team behind LocalCoinSwap are no strangers to the crypto world, they bring experience from technical, academic and financial backgrounds.

LocalCoinSwap is officially registered in the HongKong jurisdiction under their trading name Digital Assets Management Ltd which was incorporated in 2015 originally operating as a private hedge fund operating by two of the staff members

LocalCoinSwap’s Chief Financial Officer, Thomas Underwood, brings experience from TradingView and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in accounting and Finance from Griffith University.

The firms CTO, Nathan Worsley, brings experience from another crypto project called Webcoin and also holds a Bachelor of Economics degree from The University of Queensland.

Daniel Worsley holds the position of COO at the firm and rightly so, with experience advising the Musards ICO, 1 year as a financial planner and two Bachelor’s degrees in finance and Economics.

The LocalCoinSwap White Paper does not contain any red herrings, its unique and consistent in what it aims to achieve with clear goals for the future. It does not appear to be any plagiarisation from competitors

Unlike many other token sales the legal aspect of carrying out an ICO has been taken seriously by bringing three key advisors into the mix, this includes Mr. David S. LEE, Senior Lecturer in Accounting and Law at Hong Kong University, Dr. Artem Sergeev, Senior Research Fellow at the University of Hong Kong and Frank Zhu who’s currently an analyst at major investment bank based in HK who all advising the LocalCoinSwap ICO on its legal positions.

Another key advisor on the board is former FCA Registered Representative (1993-2012) Mario Innecco, who undoubtedly brings a wealth of financial experience to the project.

We have given LocalCoinSwap a rating of 4.5/5.

Blockchain For Private Messaging?

Invasion of privacy has become a commonplace occurrence due to the greater amount of technology that is being utilized in our everyday lives. People are economically dependent upon the global central-banking system and reluctantly trust their Government to keep life fair. Most of us have forgotten what true independence feels like, due to the economic pressure that has been forced into our lives. Technology is advancing rapidly, and most are reluctant to keep up, let alone take the time to understand if it’s causing harm to us. We all have the right to keep certain things about ourselves private, so stop and think before you install that next cool application onto your smartphone. Read the permissions and ask yourself if it’s worth it.

Technology does have its purpose, we are beginning to see the dawn of a new era of technological breakthrough that is bound to change the playing field. It’s called the “Blockchain”. The Blockchain has introduced a means that can implement fairness and democracy once again. For the first time in history there has never been an opportunity of this sort that could impact our desire to achieve individual freedom, independence, or even convert the world into unprecedented unity. For eons we have been led and misled for the purpose of entertaining the elite few that are in charge. Let me introduce you to a genuine example of how this technology is being utilized today. This is only a small step into the vast sea of solutions that will become available in the near future due to the creation of blockchain technology, but it is one that you can utilize today.

The ADAMANT Messenger is a brilliant conception. ADAMANT deploys cryptography into this blockchain-based application to achieve a totally anonymous messaging service that is sure to change the Crypto world. The ADAMANT team has developed a messenger that serves as a private wallet for its unique encrypted currency. The attraction for utilizing this as a web-based application allows accessibility on any device. When a message is created, it is only visible on the device being used, then fully encrypted when sent, and decrypted on the consensual receiving end only. The message is totally hidden within the blockchain.

There are some huge advantages and perks for using ADAMANT Messenger. There is no access to the users location information, no user identification can be acquired (not even their address book), and no accessibility to the users private key or mnemonic phrase. ADAMANT accounts can not be closed, blocked or limited by anyone, including the developers. The only trace of any message written can only be seen, when the user of the message (protected by a highly encrypted mnemonic phrase) decides to view it. Not even the developers have the capacity to view messages. The program code for the ADAMANT Messenger and blockchain are open-source; the prospect for future development is realistic. Certified authenticity for the message sender and its recipient, “MITM-attack protection” (this kind of attack will be detected, because the sender identificator will be changed); The security provided by the following encryption schemes already exist: Ed25519 EdDSA, Curve25519, Salsa20, и Poly1305.

Go to https://msg.adamant.im, create your wallet and receive .49 in ADM tokens for free to begin messaging.

Utilizing ADAMANT (the ADM token) as a legitimate form of payment provides anonymity unlike no other Cryptocurrency, because ADAMANT operates completely-independent from all other services and blockchains. ADAMANT is built as a self-sufficient system, along with a fast and efficient transaction speed with a 5-second block time. ADM is used as a transfer fee for messaging, direct payments and other additional system functions in order to maintain the entire network infrastructure. It makes sense that ADAMANT can become one of the most trusted and reliable Cryptocurrencies found today.

Get ADM tokens while the Project still in the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) stage. Begin using the ADAMANT Messenger today, with no commitment, or verification needed.

Sean Kirtz, CEO of ICO Services Inc. Calls for A More Decentralized World

Someone, somewhere back in 2008 decided to publish a whitepaper with the intent of building a disruptive and innovative technology way ahead of it’s time. 10 years later, this revolutionary technology is on the headlines of every major newspaper in the world, and now serves as the backbone technology powering Bitcoin and most other digital currencies, needless to say, we’re talking about block-chain technology, sometimes also called the distributed ledger technology.

And of course, we should never fail to remember the man, the myth, and the legend Satoshi Nakamoto, I’m sure you know who that is, right? (oh wait, no one really does!) — The mysterious creator of Bitcoin, as well as Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum’s co-founder, are two of the most prominent and industry-recognized figures in the cryptocurrency and blockchain space.

But you may or may not have heard of Sean Kirtz—the 33-year old ambitious entrepreneur, blockchain specialist, and software engineer by profession from San Juan, Puerto Rico — is also among the most influential people in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sphere.

While he may not be as famous and well-known as Satoshi Nakamoto or Vitalik Buterin, Sean Kirtz is beyond any doubt one of the most influential people in the blockchain space having made great contributions to the industry by helping startups and everyday people better navigate this perplexing and tech-savvy space.

From crypto trading and advising blockchain projects to creating his own ICO and ICO marketing agency, Sean Kirtz have done it all in this space and is still determined to continue his way to reaching new levels of success and progress towards his mission of helping blockchain projects decentralize everything and give the power back to the people.

Sean Kirtz is also the owner of a large Facebook group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts called Bitcoin Day Traders (Whale’s Club) created to help crypto traders and investors connect with other like-minded people. In addition, Sean Kirtz was also the founder of CloutNetwork, a blockchain-based user-generated content platform.

But currently, Sean Kirtz is more focused on his new company ICO Services, a full-service blockchain marketing and consulting agency created to help ICO startups to develop, market, and raise funds to fulfill their goals and visions.

With the growing number of new ICO projects coming out everyday, Sean Kirtz believes that not all of them are prepared and have the necessary planning and strategies to raise the necessary funding for their business.

‘’I think that it’s getting very diluted and majority of the ideas are not well thought out’’, says Sean Kirtz, CEO of ICO Services, Inc.

For this reason, Sean Kirtz believes the days where an ICO project could raise 10 million dollars in less than 60 seconds with a fancy website and whitepaper are long gone.

In other words, blockchain entrepreneurs looking to launch their ICO nowadays need a much more efficient token structure, marketing strategy, and community building skills, as well as solid connections and advisors to make it in today’s super competitive and increasingly-sophisticated ICO space.

Fortunately, Sean Kirtz’s ICO Services have thought about that beforehand and are now working with numerous game-changing ICO projects to help them advertise their idea, raise funds and building a strong, supportive community to realize their business objectives and decentralize their respective industry.

Sean Kirtz, who was an ICO advisor to Patron, the blockchain-based Japanese influencer marketing platform that raised $40 million USD Dollars, is now offering his consulting services and in-depth industry knowledge and experience to help ICO startups to properly launch their ICO and raise funding to transform their ideas into million-dollar businesses.

Digital Insurance Provider on Blockchain, Black Insurance Ropes in Professor Alex Norta as the Scientific Advisor – Black Insurance

Fintech expert, scientist, and blockchain visionary Professor Alex Norta has joined forces with the upcoming digital insurance company on blockchain named Black Insurance, helping them with their technical whitepaper. The goal of this platform is to empower the insurance brokers by connecting them directly with capital, allowing them to launch their own virtual insurance companies.

Tallinn, Estonia May 17, 2018

Black Insurance is delighted to announce that the company has recently engaged the renowned scientist and technology expert Professor Alex Norta as the Scientific Advisor for their upcoming blockchain venture. As part of the team, Prof. Norta will help Black Insurance write their scientific whitepaper. Black promises to be a gamechanger in the world of digital insurance by using the blockchain to transfer risk directly from clients to financial backers.

In spite of its immense potential, the global insurance industry faces several serious challenges. The products are created by insurance companies, allowing many different parties in the system such as the re-insurers, insurers, MGA’s, agents, brokers, third parties and wholesale brokers. Therefore, launching an insurance product takes a lot of time. As a result, the insurance brokers with a thorough understanding of the market fail to deliver the desired product fast enough. The involvement of too many parties also results in high costs and barriers in entry.

As a licensed insurance company, Black proposes to solve the current inadequacies of the insurance industry by providing insurance capacity to agents, brokers and MGAs, enabling them to launch their own virtual insurance companies.  The platform will eliminate the traditional overheads of an insurance company while using blockchain as the main platform to get rid of the centralized insurance companies.

Some of the key benefits of Black Insurance include

  • Minimizing all inefficiencies
  • Secure storage of data in blockchains
  • Business operations using smart contracts
  • Faster innovation by platform members

The new Scientific Advisor for Black Insurance, Professor Alex Norta is the owner of Norta & Partners, offering holistic consultation and software development service in the field of blockchain technology. He has advised and written whitepapers for many successful blockchain projects such as: Neo, Qtum, Cedex, Datawallet, Cashaa and many more. In the past, he has worked as a post-doctorial researcher on the SOAMeS project at the computer-science department of Helsinki University. His research on a PhD about dynamic inter-organizational business process collaboration was featured in an FP6-EU research project called CrossWork.

“The insurance industry today is slow with bringing products to market because of excessive bureaucracy that distorts free-market mechanisms to the detriment of customers,” explains Prof. Norta.  “Blockchain technology is a means to replace this excessive bureaucracy with a novel control mechanism that is much cheaper, faster and more trustable. Thus, the insurance industry can start to meet the markets needs quick and in a cost effective way.”

The concept derived by the team Black Insurance has already gained momentum in the global blockchain community. Earlier this year, the company participated in a panel discussion about regulations on blockchain in EU and Estonia at the Tallinn Blockchain Conference. The team also secured the second place at the recently held d10e Tokyo ICO Pitch Competition, with their idea and vision receiving great feedback from the eminent participants. In the days to come, Black Insurance will take part in numerous poplar blockchain events and conferences across the globe.

Highlighting the potential of Black Insurance, the company’s founder Risto Rossar said, “I have been in the insurance industry for over eighteen years and I realized that I don’t care about insurance. In fact, no one should care about insurance. It should be as simple as breathing and work without customers having to worry about it. We can solve a lot of inefficiencies through technology and will disrupt the insurance industry from the inside, building a seamless process that customers don’t have to deal with.”

About Black Insurance: Black is a digital insurance company on blockchain. The platform connects insurance brokers directly with capital, enabling them to launch their own virtual insurance companies. Black looks to make the global insurance industry more efficient by removing the third parties from the value chain.

Counterfeiters in Asia to face challenges from Artificial Intelligence technology

16 May, 2018. Tallinn, Estonia 

Neuromation strengthens its position in the Asian market and announces the start of cooperation with Linfinity.

Under the partnership, Neuromation will process and analyze data for Linfinity’s blockchain and IoT-driven supply chain solutions. Neuromation will also produce large-scale synthetic datasets for further development of AI-powered production management and consumer behavior solutions for use by Linfinity.

The partnership’s first product will focus on one of Asia’s most notorious problems – counterfeits. According to a 2016 joint report by OECD & EUIPO, the global counterfeit goods market accounts for nearly half a trillion dollars annually. Most of the fakes, over 85% according to the report, come from Asia.

“Counterfeit products are a problem not only for manufacturers and distributors, but for consumers as well. We all pay the price for fake goods. With Neuromation’s expertise in data and AI, and Linfinity’s expertise in blockchain-based supply chain systems, we will provide the technology needed to identify and remove counterfeit goods, at scale.”

The primary solution will collect, record and analyze data at every link in the chain, from raw material suppliers, manufacturing facilities, carriers, distribution centers, points of sale – and from consumers themselves. The net result is an immediate recognition of authentic products for all participants, and material increases in efficiencies throughout the supply chain.

The partnership will develop solutions for Linfinity’s entire client base that includes large and medium-sized enterprises in logistics, tobacco and alcohol production and distribution, fruit distribution and cosmetics, with combined annual revenues of over $3.5 billion.

“Our partnership with Linfinity is part of our strategic development of the Asian market. Linfinity’s customer base in China, Korea and Singapore strengthens our position across the region. This project is a prime example of Neuromation’s AI Platform and synthetic datasets solving real-world problems for industry. This is a major driver of demand on the NeuroPlatform and we look forward to working closely with Linfinity,” highlighted Maxim Prasolov, President of Neuromation Digital Economy.

Linfinity CEO Xiaotong Wang: “Linfinity is pleased to strengthen its relationship with Neuromation. We are committed to a long-term partnership to develop industry solutions throughout Asia, and beyond.”

Linfinity  is a pan-Asian technology company, providing end-to-end supply chain solutions. Founded in 2017, the company covers markets in Singapore, China and Korea. With a team of over 50 engineers, manufacturing and retail specialists, the company provides services in 5 languages. Linfinity’s mission is to decrease the pervasive friction of pan-Asian supply chains through the implementation of applied blockchain, IoT and AI technologies. Linfinity is dedicated to materially decreasing counterfeit products, delivery times and intercompany costs for the supply of high-quality products. Linfinity seeks to improve relationships between businesses and consumers through the collection and analysis of datasets from every link in the chain, from raw material suppliers and manufacturers, to distributors and end-customers

With 2% Market share, Blox Launches “QuickBooks for Crypto”

Blox.io, a blockchain startup located in Tel Aviv, has recently launched their new Blox Business platform, a system which will help crypto based companies record, manage, and allocate crypto assets. Analogous to the Quickbooks program but for crypto, the Blox platform seeks to resolve some of the more pressing issues in the world of crypto finance. The company was founded in June 201 by Alon Muroch and has reputable companies like Wings, eToro, and CIVIC as clients. To date, the company helps other businesses manage over $2 billion in crypto assets.

Is There a Need for Crypto Accounting Systems?

It’s an undeniable fact that the crypto industry has grown massively since it began in January 2009 with bitcoin’s release. As documented by CoinMarketCap, there are currently over 1,600 cryptocurrencies in circulation, putting the year over year increase at well over 50 percent. The increase in blockchain related companies–in addition to traditional industry giants like Microsoft, IBM, and JPMorgan Chase who are all exploring blockchain initiatives–has led to some incredible developments in the field.

The growth in crypto related businesses has also transferred over to the asset management world. For example, there are 226 hedge funds who trade cryptocurrencies, an increase of over 100 percent since October 2017. This remarkable growth has come about even though cryptocurrencies still haven’t reached levels last seen in January earlier this year. In fact, volatility, while not good for the average investor, is something that crypto hedge funds thrive on. At the individual level, crypto investing is still very popular, though the mania phase of Decembre 2017 has thankfully passed.

Yet with the growth in crypto comes an increasing need to properly account for crypto assets. This is true at both the corporate and individual level. It’s no surprise that governments are intent on examining blockchain based companies and their ICOs. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, for example has repeatedly taken a tough stance against crypto, leading some to urge companies to “work with the SEC to attempt to tailor existing registration, reporting, trading and exchange rules to better reflect the nature of tokens and token platforms.”

From a tax perspective, government agencies are also beginning to crack down on tax evaders and other shady players. The SEC will soon examine about 100 crypto hedge funds, digging into financial records and examining “whether fund managers have bought the type of assets they advertised to investors in disclosure documents.”  Regulators are also concerned about investor protections and possible security breaches “because hackers often attempt to breach exchanges where cryptocurrencies are kept.” This upcoming examination is entirely separate from another SEC initiative targeting crypto funds and ICOs.

In such a strict regulatory environment, it’s no wonder that companies like Blox are seeking to create platforms that specialize in crypto asset tracking and data management. Because cryptocurrencies and tokens are such a new phenomenon (relative to other monies and assets), it is vital for companies, funds, and individuals to properly account for all their crypto assets. This context helps explain why crypto accounting solutions are so vital–they could (or the lack thereof) make or break the entire industry.

What’s Going on in the Crypto Accounting Industry?

At this point in the game, platforms like Blox are relatively novel. The crypto accounting industry is still largely in the “advice” stage, that is, issuing advice to corporations and individuals, but not necessarily providing the tools to make this easier. It’s not uncommon to see a CPAs and accountants offer crypto tax prep services, or financial advisors offering advice on crypto assets. Still others argue that traditional platforms like Quickbooks are the best way to track digital assets. In this case, the onus is on the individual or corporation to track and record data, thereby creating a database to reference for tax, financial, and accounting purposes.

The Blox platform differs from the above options because it is a crypto specific system designed to facilitate crypto-denominated accounting functions. The Blox Business platform allows organizations to customize tracking and reporting tools so that managing crypto assets can be done through a single interface. It also offers automated integrations for multiple exchanges and wallets, so users don’t have to manually track down data from different sources. Instead, the platform automatically syncs and aggregates data so users can view all of their crypto assets on one screen. Blox runs as a web platform and can also be accessed through iOS and Android applications.

ENDO PROTOCOL REIMAGINES CERTIFIED DATA VERIFICATION IN ANNOUNCEMENT OF RAPID DEVELOPMENT SHIFT – ENDO

SINGAPORE, MAY 17, 2018ENDO Protocol, the increasingly renowned decentralized certified data verification solution, has today announced the platform’s technical readiness to fully integrate internationally recognized Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policy services, as well as entire information databases of universities and archives worldwide. Interoperability of the ENDO Protocol and such services and institutions promises to change the certified data verification industry.

Today, businesses, government and educational institutions, as well as individuals are being increasingly challenged by certified data verification issues. These include matters not only related to hacking and data loss risks, but also due to the fact that data is not protected against information substitution, deletion and modification without encryption and decentralized storage.

Moreover, increasing problems are connected to the matter that verification processes differ in scope and type of data, as each agency, state government or institution have their own mechanisms for verifying information, different deadlines, and different methods for filing and filling documents (which also leads to unnecessary costs, including the certification of translations). Even if data is confirmed and easily verified, the information itself is transmitted throughout completely different channels and is collected from different sources, which is time- and, frequently, money-consuming. When data is not standardized, its further usage becomes more complicated.

ENDO Protocol solves certified information tracking and encrypted data storage issues and aims to create a single secure environment for various kinds of important data. All personal, corporate and publicly available information about education, identity, medical records and the like can be controlled through the ENDO Platform, at the same time guaranteeing the privacy of personal data, by providing protected access to stored information to third parties of one’s choice.

The Alpha version of the first ENDO-based application has already been launched and successfully operates with some of Europe’s largest coaching, shipping companies, and universities. Basic functions that are available to clients include the creation and publication of documents in trial networks, cancellation procedures, distributed document confirmation, upload and allocation, as well as an open Application Programming Interface (API) and the industry-standard protocol for authorization OAuth to ensure an easy and secure way to publish and interact with secured data, and its integration with institutions.

ENDO Protocol is a one-of-a-kind, certified data verification solution. It is also a decentralized, open-source platform that solves certified information tracking and encrypted data storage issues. ENDO Protocol ensures a secure environment for personal, corporate and publicly available information about education, identity, medical records and the like, and can be controlled through the ENDO Platform, at the same time guaranteeing the privacy of personal data, providing protected access to stored information to third parties.
