[ANN][RATING] Digital Rating Agency (ICOs, cryptocurrencies): launching

[choojoy]

Today's project is Rate3 – a global ecosystem for sellers and customers, creditors and borrowers, as well as other representatives of the Internet business. The project is a payment and credit system, which can be integrated into any trading platform. It will be possible to make purchases and immediately get into debt, it's amazing. One of the most interesting feature of the project is the use of two blockchains at once - Stellar for the payment system and Ethereum for credit. Developers completed the Token Sale ahead of schedule deciding that $ 17.5M is enough for a happy life (originally the hard cap was 50,000 ETH). What exactly attracted investors is in our SWOT analysis: https://goo.gl/ULQq1E

why should a person address you? Do you have many years of experience in this field and you will be completely independent?

Where's the money, Lebowski? The market fell. Holders are crying. Bitcoin went down to $ 6,760, losing 11.3% at once. The total capitalization fell from $ 345bn to $ 299bn. Not to mention altcoins. This week gave us no reason to expect troubles until Sunday, when all quotes suddenly fell to indecently low rates. Maybe this is the result of breaking the South Korean exchanger CoinRail, or maybe the SEC's visit to the largest crypto exchanges. We do not know, but the crypto market is still an analog of Russian roulette. More figures and news are in our weekly review: https://goo.gl/ytfrKi

Sure, we have over 15 years of classical credit ratings experience (it's not the same, but at least we have it) and we are completely independent.

Hello everyone, the investigation into Tether, elephants for the crypto and optimistic Tom Lee at your service.

The leading news of the week, and of the whole year indeed, was the investigation of the professors of the University of Texas into Tether stablecoin. Briefly, John Griffin and Amin Shams proved that the growth of Bitcoin was ensured by the additional emission of Tether tokens, for which bitcoins were bought on Bitfinex and then circulated on Poloniex and Bittrex. Now we are waiting for the decision of the CFTC, who has been closely monitoring Tether already.

The total market capitalization has decreased by $ 22.7bn, while the Bitcoin price fell to $ 6,555. It is worth learning optimism from Tom Lee, the head of Fundstrat, who claims future bitcoin growth up to $ 25,000. We believe Tom. What's more: The Reserve Bank of India said that digital currencies would be available inside the country, but subject to new regulation rules.

I really do not understand this, but can you tell how and from what you can receive money in the future?

Has anyone heard of CastBox - Netflix for podcasts? By the way, it's in the top 6 of Google Play USA News & Magazines App. This Chinese startup has collected 29M from VC funds, but this was not enough. Where to collect a few more millions? Launch the ICO, obviously. What is all about: ContentBox is a blockchain for streaming apps. Creators promise to make it faster, more powerful and cheaper than other blockchains. Classy. CastBox will be the first app on the new blockchain. Advantages: the team, funds, millions of potential users. And yet there is one disadvantage - the blockchain will only be available in 2019.

Do you believe in fairy tales just like Sparkster investors? The Syncoms IT project decided that it's time to create applications independently without knowing anything about programming in the 21st century. Whether the decision of Sparkster is more convenient than, for example, Google App Maker, is still unknown. There will be even more competitors by the time the platform is launched. But the creation of DApps itself does not raise questions - the theme is quite urgent and more than real. 10 million transactions per second - that's where the fairy tale really starts. Community was skeptical about this statement at first, but skeptics have diminished after the announcement that project is supported by Ian Balina. Hype around the project is unlikely to help the founders to achieve claimed capacity, but it will definitely help to raise money. More in our review: https://goo.gl/gGXo9P

Hacking one of the largest crypto exchange Bithumb, an attempt on John McAfee's life and freezing of EOS network accounts. This is the news of the past week. In addition, a decline in capitalization of 40bn and a drop in bitcoin price to $ 6,000. That is why the iridescent statement by Phillip Nunn, the director of the Blackmore Group and the Wealth Chain Group, about bitcoin's growth up to $ 60,000 sounds like a mockery, although, perhaps Phillip knows a little bit more about manipulating the price of currencies and his forecast will indeed come true.

Who did not try to do blockchain insurance. InsurChain, InsurePal, InsureX ... and Etherisc, having received the title of the most innovative blockchain startup this year, hopes for colossal investments (30M). We do not know where innovation is - the idea itself is not new. Almost all insurers don't mind to play with new technologies. Their main difference from any startups is that they have money for this, and if blockchain does not work, the company will not fall apart. We almost forgot - insurers do not need tokens, just like Etherisc. Details in SWOT analysis results: https://goo.gl/6RBaVV

below $ 6,000 and giving investors a good deal of nervous, but it got out thanks to the closing the futures on CME . Satoshi left the ‘Alert System’ private key to his friends-developers, Bryan Bishop promised to reveal it the other day. We can only guess what can happen to altcoins simply copied the Bitcoin code and not suspecting the existence of the key, but Bishop promises an exciting show. The good old Tether, which has been under the scrutiny of the SEC for a while, is issuing 250M fresh tokens. It hasn't even been a week after the publication of the investigation on their manipulations. We are pleased with Facebook, which allowed crypto advertising after all. "Just, be careful" - this is how you can characterize their policy, as advertising can appear only after a careful check.

We haven't put any reports out for a long time as we have been carefully studying CyClean - the Korean project for renting electric cars and other eco-friendly things. The company offers a completely new kind of mining based on the use of their products, rather than on electricity burning. Let's get to FAQ. Where is the blockchain? It's a rather obvious one - if you do not make timely payments for an electric car or a bicycle, transport will be blocked by a smart contract. Who will do all that and are there any agreements? The team cooperates with one of the creators of the JPay payment system (has been functioning since 2002, more than 1 million downloads), and the project will be integrated into it. DOGU and Eautobahn, developing systems for unmanned vehicles, are also among the project's partners. Who needs a project? If anyone knows about the pollution problem, it's Asia. And in general, it is is super trendy to care of the nature now. If everything is so cool, then why they have B1 score? There are many similar projects, and CyClean decided to keep their investors in secret and did not conduct a competitive landscape analysis. More details in our report: https://goo.gl/G5X9Vu

It's time to sum up the first half of 2018. Back in December, everyone was sure that we would see phenomenal market volumes by the summer, and we were right. The total capitalization fell by 70%. Bitcoin price fell by 64.45%, Ethereum – by 67.73%. But it's too soon to sell everything and go to Tibet, a correction within 60% is considered normal for traditional markets. Analysts explain this drop by launching Bitcoin futures on CBOE and CME. Futures allowed to profit from the fall in BTC price, and major players took advantage of this opportunity.

An important negative trend was the "51% attack" in Bitcoin Gold, Litecoin Cash, Verge and Monacoin networks. Hacker attacks on crypto exchanges also began to be perceived as something quite ordinary - more than 10 exchanges were attacked during these six months, including Binance, Bitfinex, Bithumb, YoBit. So opening accounts in less than 5-10 different platforms is now considered poor etiquette.

According to our data, the ICO market attracted 80.32% more funds compared to the previous six months. It is clear that such volume mainly belongs to EOS and Telegram, that managed to collect more than $ 5.7bn for both. The number of ICOs also increased by more than 30%. The greatest interest was traditionally caused by infrastructure, trading/investments, and finance projects.

The first month of the summer brought no joy to the crypto industry. Hacks of the top crypto exchanges, ban on ICO ads by insidious Google, scandal with Tether ... gloom and doom. The market also fell - the total capitalization lost 30.21% compared to May. Bitcoin price decreased by 17.13% and Ethereum's by 28.25%. We shouldn't even mention the other top 20 altcoins. Only the lucky ones profited as they bought tokens of Selfkey, ODEM and Monaco, whose prices increased by 158%, 78% and 42%. Who else got lucky in June? The founders of the TaTaTu project - they collected $ 575M during the ICO, and that happens to be a third of all funds raised this month. Let's see if TaTaTu falls into our category of dead projects that have successfully gone with investors' money. Read more about the June figures in our monthly review: https://goo.gl/4BDQg4

The Philippines is reviewing the regulation rules, Thailand is creating a new regulatory framework for the ICO, and the main political body of the Indian government is partnering with a large local fertilizer producer to develop a new blockchain. South Korea has finally decided to allow trading platforms to work as everybody else, and, in fact, receiving support from the authorities. A vigilant US internal revenue service is launching a task force to investigate crypto fraud in conjunction with Australia, Canada, England and the Netherlands. All scammers from these countries should watch out. And finally, Kraken is engaged in a fierce squabble with the Bloomberg about Tether manipulation.

How you choose a project to be rated? Do you accept paid ratings? Than if yes, do you still give marks as they are? Without looking that a projects has paid you money?

Anyway, I really appreciate your Agency
