Cryptocurrency Exchanges Enable Users to Navigate the Internet of Value

Cryptocurrency exchanges enable users to trade across multiple value networks powered by heterogeneous blockchains.

As the number of cryptocurrencies grows, cryptocurrency exchanges become the marketplaces for listing and trading cryptocurrencies. In the current context, users mainly buy cryptocurrencies as a store of value, in anticipation of a future value increase. As exchanges list multiple cryptocurrencies in one place, supply information about them, enable comparisons, and set bid/ask prices according to demand, they help separate the valuable cryptocurrencies from the useless ones. Investors become increasingly discriminate in their choices of cryptocurrencies as a store of value or as a utility token.

As technological and regulatory barriers to the Internet of value will be lifted, cryptocurrencies and decentralized value networks will gain mainstream acceptance. To trade on these different networks, users will need to buy multiple digital currencies and to exchange them as their needs evolve.

Blockchain.io will list a careful selection of cryptocurrencies: Proof-of-Work (POW) coins such as Bitcoin, Ether or Litecoin, Proof-of-Stake (POS) coins like Qtum or Stratis, Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) coins, and other cryptographic protocols yet to be designed and minted.
Blockchain.io as a Cryptocurrency Exchange is a multifaceted service business with different functions which includes custody services to providing underlying information and trading facilities. The exchange must also create a trusted environment for transaction. Unfortunately, hackers and fraudsters are constantly trying to break into exchanges.
Faced by this challenges, many exchanges have shown themselves to be unsafe, unreliable, non-complaint and opaque. The Blockchain.io is determined to fix the under-listed issues:
•   Security breaches by hackers and fraudsters.
•   Non compliance with national and international laws and regulations.
•   Opacity: The management and operations of some exchanges have poor customer service and do not respond to user’s enquiries. Users are therefore exposed to high risk and uncertainty.
•   Outages: Many platforms experience service outages in periods of high volatility leading to major losses for traders and investors.
Blockchain.io aims to overcome the current shortcomings of the crypto exchange market by applying the highest standards in security, reliability, compliance and accountability. Through its advanced knowledge of cryptographic technology, operational in-depth understanding of the crypto world, its strict discipline in software development and its commitment to compliance and accountability.
To make this more achievable, the founders of Blockchain.io are a seasoned team with in-depth knowledge of cryptocurrency protocols. They pioneered cryptocurrency in Europe 2009 and subsequently created Paymium in 2011(the first European Bitcoin Exchange) which has been operating hack free since 2013.
Paymium and Blockchain.io offerings are a perfect pair and the next step to the rising expectations of the crypto world as it evolves into the internet of value.
