Within the year what we know we'll see:
* Token swap, mobile wallet, and ICX/ETH DEX
* IISS launch (think staking or master nodes, but a bit different with delegates) and ICO platform
* ICON being used for clearing and settlements
* Official launch of insurance claiming service using loopchain
* ICON network's bank community developing pre-paid digital payment system. This will include a digital currency management system.
* First installations of vending machines in universities using U-coin (which will use loopchain)
* Launch of healthcare data sharing platform
Very bullish. These are enterprise level solutions being deployed to the public, and sure they're using the loopchain blockchain, they will also use the ICON network to interact outside of their own blockchain. As more projects use it, the more it will create organic demand for ICX, and we'll see a positive feedback loop as more projects see the benefit of interacting with other projects also using loopchain. Not only will ICX become more resistant to future downturns, it will also have exponential growth.
