Where does everyone see the crypto markets/exchanges headed? I think those that are regulation-friendly are going to be the ones to succeed along with being decentralized.

Found this good read about an ICO called GBX, or gibraltar blockchain exchange. What do you guys think??

Cross chain swaps via state channels are going to enable truly decentralized cross chain exchanges and will be much harder to regulate.  However, centralized exchanges will still exist for a long time as a convenience for ordinary people, but may eventually disappear if the decentralized tech becomes user friendly enough.

I agree with you. I honestly think that the crypto market is also pushing towards securities too. Have you looked into GBX? Very intriguing concept too. Think their whitelist closes tomorrow

been following GBX for weeks now and whitelisted when it opened. overall a really good project with a crazy team. Also love their partnerships as well. regulation is upon us and i'm glad they anticipated that. if you want frequent updates, i suggest joining their telegram group: https://t.me/GBXCommunity

I am seeing the rise of decentralized exchanges soon. And I suspect more efficient exchanges are coming in the near future.
Imagine faster exchanges. Nowadays you have to create account, login, deposit and just then exchange the token you want.
This process will probably become much faster with fewer steps. And guess what? The tokens that were made just for fundraising purposes and have no role in the platform will go to zero.

Decentralized exchanges are a good thing for cryptocurrencies. I just don't really know how people would contact support if something were to happen to their coins.

Now there are more and more exchange exist in the cryptocurrency space , but centralized exchange still more popular than decentralized exchange because i think this exchange platform more friendly user. And some centralized exchange in some country like Japan has regulation.  In the future will be more exchange that provider better service and tools. So future of cryptocurrency community will be bigger.

The future I can see for all of the Centralized exchanges is tighter regulations and full KYC requirements for each and every user. The governments want to know what you are doing with your crypto profits and then take their slice. Decentralised exchanges are a different story but so far Etherdelta has put some people off using them.

I think in the near future, decentralized exchanges would be flooding the market. I just hope there will be an algorithm to provide a very secure transaction and transaction support would be integrated.

For me, it will depend on what will happen to bitcoin and what will the government do about cryptocurrency. As I see now, bitcoin is dropping but I still believe in its capability to rise, most of the exchanges are using bitcoin as main mode of exchange so what ever happen in bitcoin altcoins are also affected. Now we can see the power of government to suppress crypto by banning ICO, and if the problem get worst, they can totally ban the whole industry in that certain country.

If exchanges are regulated, it is likely that traders in many countries people will not be able to participate because of the need for KYC data validation.
Like GBX, trading on the GBX requires KYC certification.

The future of crypto markets depends on the number of investors interested in it and how people will accept crypto now that lots of  movement are done to control cryptos on different countries.

In my opinion, the exchanges with a good banking relationship are the ones which will survive.

Most exchanges go wrong when their bank cuts them off for some reason. That's what happened to MtGox. And lately, Bitfinex.

At the moment Coinbase is under some pressure as various credit card companies say they arn't going to allow bitcoin purchases. Coinbase is pretty reputable, it is FDIC insured for fiat and has LLoyds insurance for coins in their hot wallet. But if VISA ban all credit card purchases, that's their business model gone. Coinbase did have the foresight to open GDAX which is a standard exchange that accepts wires. But Coinbase might have to switch to a cash wire business from a "buy with credit card" business to survive.

I think as long as crypto remains at the whim of government decisions, it will never stabilize. For this reason decentralized as opposed to centralized exchanges need to take off, exchanges that the government can't simply shut down. This way everyone from every country will be able to buy and sell crypto without fear of the latest headline of the day.

I feel like the government doesn't even know what to do with crypto or they're still not knowledgeable about it to make real decisions on it.

The government is fearing the possibility that cryptocurrency will replace most of our financial institutions mainly the banking system. Thats why some are banning cryptocurrency while other countries are still looking into ways of drafting laws that would be beneficial for both parties. But by looking at the increasing community crypto is having,  digital currency is the future we are heading to.

In fact, the government regulation is not a big problem, the most afraid of them through regulation to control the entire cryptocurrency world, so this is the case, what is the difference between encrypted currency and the stock market, the blockchain can only become the plaything in their hands, lost itself Meaning.

The future of market crypto / exchange? For now the future of cyrpto is unclear and not so good because in recent weeks cyrpto is forbidden to advertise on social media and others, currently crypto is being tested to deliver on its success.

I don't know if decentralized exchanges and regulation will make a good match. I don't even know how you will attempt to regulate one of those exchanges, since they don't need to obey anyone. They can't really be shutdown, and probably won't be able to enforce kyc, that is crucial for regulation. I do think they are important, because it would probably reduce fud, since they can't be banned, but it would probably just make the government action more strict. I think they come with good and "bad" things, but they are probably the future.

Very well said actually. There's a subtle "push pull" with the whole regulation/banning vs decentralization/immutable paradigm. On one hand governments do have a chance to delay crypto adoption by crushing it hard now (they can't prevent it, only delay it). This will scare off mainstream adoption until many years into the future. On the other hand they realize that if they co-operate with crypto from the beginning, they might be able to prevent it becoming too radical one day. The same with investors in crypto - they see government permission as a good thing even though such permission shouldn't be necessary.

But what about projects like GBX where they are a token sales platform AND exchange? Looks like they navigate the regulation climate. pretty credible imo and their crowdsale is coming up in a few days too. https://t.me/GBXCommunity

The future of cryptocurrencies  depend majorly on two parties. One, the investors. The resilience of investors irrespective of any external forces such as government threats will sustain the future of crypto. In the other hand, government policies can also affect its future. However, I could see a promising and a successful future.

Thanks for the link to their group. So many fakes out there. I think the future of exchanges will be blockchain-based. Looks like GBX is going to be the first to venture into that realm.

The more number of players in the market the greater the risk that it may have any frauds to occur, and now keeping in mind that the number of amateur investors which no prior knowledge of the crypto world are now full-time investors the chances of these frauds happening are increasing. The increase in this amount may harm the future of markets.

but too many exchanges i think it will make the bitcoin price even harder to rise again, and the credibility of the new exchange is being questioned, what they fear is that they will only be exist for a while. and with hacked issues or other causes, they closed the exchange and took the HOLDER coins.

stay in recent exchange like bitfinex, bittrex and poloniex i think its the best choice (i mean it have been already trusted for a long time)

One may notice that the cryptocurrency market is growing day by day and that is causing more people to have these resources when a sufficient amount of people have resources of similar valuation, that begins the concept of trading, so many people having cryptocurrency right now might just increase the amount of trading to occur.

The market is waiting for regulation by the government, 90% of exchanges will close without being competitive or will be closed for violations

Some exchanges won't be regulated because the Government can't censor the decentralized exchanges.

Decentralized exchanges needs someone behind to maintain them, release new features and code functionality, this can be regulated easily.

a good market in cripto then it will always be crowded.

In my opinion the future of altcoin is very good. Day by day people are joining in it and they are interested in to invest. Hopefully users and price both will be increasing in future.

I hope in future per 2-3 years decentralized exchange will be reality. Well so far we had most of scams from exchange owners.

The future of exchanges and the crypto market will depend on how much this market will be audited and regularized. The lobby of the banks is great for governments to stop in the crypto market

For me as of my own knowloedge about crypto markets and exchanges,  I've been trying a lot of it like etherdelta, forkdelta,  idex,  binance but I truly prefer the most friendly platform and easy to understand and the securities of your profit must be there. Centralize or decentralize platforms of exchange.

More and more technology advancements were taking place. The same is leading people towards the new innovation cryptocurrency. When the exchanges were available all around, the usage will increase drastically and this will help in the growth of bitcoin as well the cryptocurrency market. Now we have got around 10000 markets for Cryptocurrency which is expected to give a 10x growth within years.

As many people have cryptocurrencies of different types right now and may only judge the cryptocurrency on their current valuation the chances of trading occurring may be greater in this situation the demand for such markets and exchanges related to cryptocurrencies might just increase. And now many new cryptocurrencies are launching and all need new exchange for trading so the demand will keep increasing.

for now crypto market yes maybe again lethargy whatever happens in this world of crypto I hope this will not be long because with the current technological developments I am sure what happens in this world of crypto not last long and maybe this is expected of everyone

You may notice that currently, the cryptocurrency market is in a bleeding situation that means that when such a situation occurs people usually hang on to their resources instead of distributing them, this means that the cryptocurrency market is dependant upon the rise or fall of the cryptocurrency itself exchanges not being independent has a disadvantage.

Decentralized exchange should be more exist in the market than sentralized exchange, because decentralized does not impact with regulation. Decentralized exchange also far from issue of hacking and more high in security because account holder have own private key of the account.

The idea is good, but raisins don't see what else to watch this is now all already have a website, so it would be a cool idea only in the case that more accurately shows the numbers.

The need for such exchanges might just increase with the introduction of new cryptocurrencies, take this in the context of currency exchange what would be more interactive and require more staff a currency exchange that only deals in dollars and euros or a currency exchange that deals in at least 10 of the top currencies
