Due to the fact that ZeroEdge was ignoring advice and also being unresponsive most of the time, trade.io has simply cut all ties with this project with immediate affect

It was explained that ZeroEdge did pass all KYC and strict vetting from trade.io's side but became increasingly uncooperative with time prompting trade.io to take action and severe all ties.

trade.io promised to ensure even stricter controls going forward.

After months of waiting, we had trade.io‘s launch right between our fingers, but unfortunately it slipped away after the management decided to postpone launch by another 6 days in order to perform an external audit of the security surrounding the exchange.

Very disappointing news but if this is what it takes to make sure the exchange is bulletproof so be it. I just hope we will not run into any more issues that warrant yet another postponement. Security is important but investor trust is just as much. Hiccups are expected, I just wish the announcement about the delay were handled a little better. Having said that I’m pretty sure there’s no one more disappointed by this decision than the team and management behind trade.io.

So, bring on the 23rd of July 18:00 CET!

We are now just over 30 hours away from the limited release of the trade.io exchange at 12:00 (noon) New York time tomorrow. The excitement in the community is palpable as everyone wants to find out how well this project is going to perform over the next few months. Several good things coming our way, hopefully propelling this project forward as we finally start seeing utility from its TIO token.

The future is looking bright for those wise enough to see the long term benefits of this project!

Tokens Listing

Q: Which coins will be listed on the exchange initially?

A: Initially it  will be the basic, big coins, but then we will roll out a ton after, especially ERC20. Have a bunch of listings and ICO clients that will come out quickly as well. So at start:

BTC – Bitcoin
BCH – Bitcoin Cash
ETH- Ethereum
LTC – Litecoin
TIO – TradeToken

USDT – May be available right at launch or at the very least within 2-3 days following launch.

ERC20 – we are looking at rolling out maybe 200 as soon as possible, but priority is on listing clients and ICO clients.

EOS and XRP soon.

Q: When will the exchange support FIAT?

A: Soon, there is no regulatory issue, just want to scale into features.

Q: Will we have any kind of voting system for new coin listings? Can you tell us anything about your plans on how new listings will be done? Would TIO owners have any privileges over others?

A: We are not looking to limit coins by any means, just need a controlled process to roll them out.

 

Regulations and Jurisdictions

Q: Can you speak on the progress with regards to regulations in the various jurisdictions? Which jurisdictions is trade.io currently focusing on, or which is top priority at the moment?

A: Working on HK, Singapore, Switzerland, Malta right now as the bigger ones. Smaller ones as well. We are meeting with regulators in the US as well.

Q:  Are u also considering India?

A: India is unclear as to regulations right now.

Q: Will trade.io move to comply with the SEC and other regulatory bodies worldwide as they ask for information on customer protections, etc?

A: Already started, meetings already happening. We will do what we can to eliminate insider trading, wash trading, bots, fake volumes, all the bad things that hurt customers and plague other exchanges.

 

Roadmap

Q: When is the new Road-map being published?

A: After exchange and LP launches.

 

 

LP

Q: When will the LP fully launch? After 30 days of exchange? And the profit of the LP will count from the 1st day of exchange launch?

A: There is only a full version of LP, there is no beta version of LP. Profit starts immediately, LP will launch after 30 days i.e. profits start from next week at launch of the exchange. ICO consultancy revenues will be included regardless when exchange launches.

Q: Will there be something which tells the day’s profit with detail for transparency before LP launch?

A: There will be a LP distribution amount widget, but not promising that before LP launch.

Q: How much can we expect from LP daily payouts in the first month? Nothing at all? Something more than current airdrops program? Or much more than current airdrops?

A: The exchange needs to ramp and generate volume, then the LP will have meaningful distributions.

Q: There were some thoughts that the running costs would eat up the revenues that was already generated from consultancy arm that would left very few to be distributed. Could you tell us this is not the case? And in general, costs to be subtracted from LP is only direct costs that affects it, could you confirm that as well?

A: You mean operations? No that is covered from our 50%.

 

TIO Token

Q: After the exchange has been launched, how is the price movement of TIO expected to react? Do you not have any estimation for it?

A: Impossible to know, however, we are actively exploring moving TIO to exclusively be traded on trade.io exchange and de-list from other exchanges, for more control over price manipulation.

Q: What’s the solution in the future to avoid something like Bitforex?

A: They picked us up on their own. It is impossible to prevent a supposed decentralized exchange from listing TIO

Q: What measures will be taken to boost the trading volume of TIO token after launch of exchange. With the LP, the volume might be very low as it is today?

A: If you look at the token economics of TIO, it is designed to be more like a Berkshire Hathaway than a high volume penny stock. The goal is to drive value, not volume. The more value we create, and with low float, this will be good for price.

Q: Will TIO be trade-able with other commodities listed under FX Primus ?

A: Most likely not, as its a crypto asset so it will be traded against other cryptos.

 

 

trade.io Exchange

Q: What is the ETA for decentralized exchange?

A: There is no ETA at this time, we’re fully focused on making sure we have a flawless centralized exchange and execute on the liquidity pool.

Q: Will trade.io offer margin trading?

A: We will. Working with risk management to get it structured.

Q: What about futures and options?

A: Talking to some vendors specifically about this as possible partners.

Q: Will trade.io have algo trading?

A: Talking to a partner on that currently as well

Q: Why limit the launch to just 1000 initially?

A: The limitation to 1000 is not really for technology reasons, its more to allow customer support to get feet under them before we pummel them. It’s 1000 on Day 1, looking to open up to many thousands, within only a few days following launch. There is no level of training that can prepare support/finance, etc. once live users come through the door. This is not our first rodeo with running brokerages, so we understand its a completely different ballgame once the bright lights are on.

Q: What about Blossom wallet?

A: That wallet is under development, which makes it easier to participate in ICOs, have KYC, etc.

Q: Are MEW or other wallets going to be integrated in such a way as to make it possible to be able to participate in the LP without having them on the exchange? If this is actually possible that is. Will Private Keys be made available to the holders of the wallets in trade.io?

A: Not sure on security on that. May be part of hybrid DEX solution. Also, transaction fees would be high, since every transaction would be recorded on BC, cant really use ledger. Not ideal overall.

Q: Will trade.io place their own buy and sell orders to maintain liquidity?

A: We will keep risk low initially, but over time us and outside (institutional) providers will be doing this.

 

 

 

Partnerships

Q: What are the plans with FX Primus?

A: The current initiative with FXP, is to accept TIO as a deposit method, then eventually allow TIO to be traded on the platform.

Q: Are there any updates on the Angel Investors Program? What roles do Kosmos, Plutus VC and Blockway Capital play in the Angels Investors Program?

A: We are sending them deals to look at where they know we already did KYC, took a first pass, etc. They are also bring us deals to look at as well.

 

 

Security

Q: Can u please tell us about the security measures taken for exchange. As these days many exchanges are being hacked even the so called best exchange i.e. Binance , Bancor etc.

A: We have in-house, outside team, Cloudflare, Fireeye, etc. To elaborate, virtually all client assets are kept in cold storage as well.

Q: Are there plans to provide insurance against hacking? If wallets get hacked is it guaranteed that owners will get all their tokens back? One suggestion is that part of the undistributed funds from the LP (due to tiers with percentages less than 100%) can be used to offer such insurance, If necessary…if not, could be retained by the company …Security is obviously of the utmost importance especially if trade.io is targeting institutional investors. This insurance would bring extra peace of mind.

A: We are looking for answers on that, so I like the suggestion. Nothing definitive yet. We will explore insurance and other things, but same answer for all of crypto, there is nothing like FDIC yet

trade.io' s Best Asset: the Liquidity Pool Part 2

Trade.io is seriously propped up to be a leading operator bridging the gap between crypto and traditional financial institutions. Now they've partnered with ViewFin, with more such collaborations promised by the management. Here's the official announcement for this partnership:

trade.io partners with China’s first open source, innovative blockchain solution ViewFin to help us develop disruptive blockchain solutions

Second part of my take on trade.io's Liquidity Pool.

As a Beta tester I have the privilege of getting sneak peaks of the changes that are implemented in the upcoming trade.io exchange, launching on the 17th of July. I have to say, I'm very impressed with the latest iteration of their product. The Moon theme is brilliant and the overall functions sets it apart from any other exchange I've seen so far. I'm also very happy to see that many community suggestions have been implemented, which means the devs are listening to what the users have to say.

This is going to be big!

Here’s an excellent article by Charles Voltron CTO of trade.io, explaining the massive potential the crypto market has to offer in the near future:

Trillion-dollar security token economy awaits its moment

Not much news from trade.io since the Bloomberg conference but with the exchange launch fast approaching I expect things to start rolling out soon! It is unfortunate that the crypto market is in dire straits at the moment but when it starts to recover this thing is gonna blow!

So we finally have a date for a limited launch of the trade.io platform and that's Tuesday 17th July 2018. It's limited to 1000 users at first and hopefully this increases rapidly straight after.

Though I believe wholeheartedly in this project I have to say I'm slightly disappointed till now with the Bloomberg conference and was expecting a stronger way how this news would have been announced. Having said that I'm sure trade.io will be big over the course of this coming year.

The countdown has begun for the much awaited launch of trade.io exchange. This Friday will see Jim Preisler, CEO of trade.io, announce the launch date of the exchange at Bloomberg’s first ever block-chain conference in their brand new London offices. Some revolutionary news is also expected as senior management have been harping on about for the past few weeks. Feels like Christmas in mid-summer and hopefully we won’t be disappointed!

If this is done right, we’re heading beyond the moon!

Trade.io is currently underrated and with the level of professionalism behind its team it will surely make its way to be one of the leading exchanges in the world over the next few months and years. Not much long before launch and at current prices, the token it is still very cheap. The benefits TIO token brings to investors is unheard of so grab it while it’s still ridiculously cheap!

The Trade.io token is one of the few tokens currently out there that actually rewards holders:

-50% of company profits are shared with TIO holders participating in the exchange's liquidity pool
-Massive airdrops for token holders

More seem to be added every day. Definitely a token to hold!

Trade.io will soon open its doors to both crypto and traditional traders, bringing along a new revolutionary concept of sharing company profits with its token holders. Not only is the exchange cutting edge, but the company will be sharing 50% of it's profits with TIO holders that opt in its liquidity pool. To top it all off, the team behind it is one of the most professional I've yet to see, backed by years of experience in the finance and block-chain sectors and giving the community the chance to provide feedback in developing the exchange to suit their individual needs. TIO is still relatively cheap considering the potential this has to offer.

Easily the investment of a lifetime!
