"The market for STOs is now emerging. During August 2018, an online retailer and early cryptocurrency adopter, Overstock.com, raised $134 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) for its security token exchange called tZero. The exchange was opened for trading during January of this year, with tZero’s proprietary token comprising the sole crypto asset available for trade at launch. TZero launched just weeks after SharesPost, a regulated alternative trading system and registered broker-dealer that facilitated the first-ever secondary trade of a security token in the form of Blockchain Capital’s BCAP tokens."

"However, past this initial inflation, cryptocurrency offers an opportunity to stabilize the global economy because, much like gold, there is a finite amount of it to be mined. Furthermore, it’s the first investment that anyone in the world can purchase at any time, as long as they have access to the internet. For example, if you’re living in Argentina, you can’t just buy U.S. dollars whenever you want. You need a broker. And while the New York Stock Exchange closes, cryptocurrency never does. It’s a 24/7 investment."

"Coupled with blockchain technology, national cryptocurrencies could increase transparency around government spending and make it difficult for dark money to infiltrate political campaign financing, illegal drug trade, and criminal activity. A cryptocurrency-based monetary shift would also be aligned with the exponential growth of technology and the cultural impetus to digitize as many facets of day-to-day life as possible. It’s not hard to imagine a day in the near future when people move through the world without carrying wallets or even mobile phones – at least not in their current iteration. I’m optimistic that cryptocurrency would naturally fall into that space."

"Facebook's proposed new cryptocurrency, Libra—the subject of hearings just now in Washington—is designed like a classic currency from the colonial period of history. Anyone presenting a unit of specified foreign exchange will get a proportional unit of Libra. For example, one dollar might get one Libra, one euro 1.1 Libras, 66 Indian rupees one Libra, and so on, based on the price Libra advertises in various global currencies. In the archetypical monetary arrangement of the colonial period, in the hundred years prior to the second World War, colonial currencies were available at a set rate to anyone presenting the British pound sterling."

"diamDEXX recently announced the integration of Flexepin on its site, a money-to-voucher service that’s widely used in Africa to send and receive payments. Thanks to this integration, African users can use a ready alternative to purchase cryptocurrencies, which they can then use to trade with the whole world, an alternative that fiat, SMS, or even FinTech alternatives couldn’t provide. Having a coin consistently pegged to $1 can help users avoid unwanted price swings, and DIAM’s service aims to offers practically no fees or chargebacks."

"42% of the world’s poverty is concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa. It’s no wonder, then, that Africa hasn’t quite adapted to the current global economic model –one based on credit scores, banks, and fundamentally broken consumerism culture. In a region that also struggles with providing people with fundamental well-being necessities (such as access to basic utilities, health services, and education), banks can’t profit off citizens’ desire for items they don’t need. Capital, therefore, seems to escape Africa." Taken from the article: Crypto Diamonds: Creating an Appropriate Economic Model for Africa Using Its Most Precious Resources.

"Perhaps most importantly, Bitcoin and other like-minded cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile. While their well-document price fluctuations can significantly dampen buying processes, it’s even more devastating in places where users are relying on the currency’s store of value to provide for critical goods and services. At the same time, things like varying transaction fees, somewhat slow settlement times, and a general blasé approach to facilitating commerce make Bitcoin unsuitable as currency, especially in developing countries or for those without access to traditional financial resources."

"In the blockchain industry, “scalability” can mean a lot of things. In one debate, you may hear about a technology’s lack of scalability in terms of blockchain’s size over time, conflating the ability to on-board new network participants cheaply with the technology’s ability to survive the test of time. In another discussion, you may hear comparisons to legacy technologies like traditional payment processors and the transaction volume they have on certain holidays as a worthy definition of what is required of a scalable technology.

"Blockchain will increasingly compete with legacy trust intermediaries because of its symbiotic distributed ledger network. You'll trust a digital record or asset that's installed on a Blockchain and distributed to a network of ledgers called "nodes." Practically speaking, Blockchain is essentially a database platform – a digital pegboard – onto which you can plug any number and variety of digitally encrypted elements and applications: a contract, a record or a financial asset, like cryptocurrency or an ownership share of a business. Even your last will and testament."

"As the crypto community digests the news that leading firms such as Blockstack and YouNow obtained SEC approval to sell security tokens to retail investors, a German startup announced that it received approval from the German Financial Market Supervisory Authority (BaFin) to distribute the country’s first blockchain-based real estate bond to retail and institutional investors around the world. The company is called Fundament Group, and yesterday it launched a 250 million euro ($280 million) tokenized bond offering on the Ethereum blockchain backed by commercial real estate investments in major cities across Germany. The token will conform to ERC-20 standards and be interoperable with most major wallets and transferable around the world."

"To underscore the point that scalability is a gating factor for mass market adoption, I offer a simple and generic definition of scalability: Scalability refers to a blockchain’s ability to provide a rich experience for users independent of how many users have this experience. Whether the user’s experience is joining a blockchain’s network, interacting with a decentralized application (DApp) during a prime-time rush, or breaking out from a centralized walled garden, the experience must be excellent to achieve mass market adoption. So, scalability is a key consideration if a technology seeks mainstream adoption, but is mass adoption itself important?"

"According to reporting from CoinDesk, the token will be backed by five separate construction projects, three in Hamburg, one in Frankfurt and one in the university town of Jena. The portfolio, including residential, commercial and hotel properties, will total more than 680,000 square feet upon completion. The company expects to pay investors an annual dividend between 4-7% each year at the end of July until the year 2033, at which point investors will be reimbursed in full for the nominal amount of their initial purchase. Investors will be able to pay for their shares and receive dividends in fiat or ether. There is an expectation that this payout model could help drive additional demand for the token, as opposed to traditional STOs that may trade at a discount, at least early on, due to illiquid markets."
