"For those unfamiliar, asset-backed tokens are blockchain-based units of value that are pegged to real-world assets, such as company shares, real estate, diamonds, or commodities. They represent a large subcategory of security tokens and allow users to hold ownership rights over a physical and tangible asset in a digital form. Recently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a new document that defines digital assets and elaborates on how issuers and investors should treat them. The regulator’s framework is regarded as an analytical tool to determine which digital assets behave as securities and fall under SEC’s radar. When a fully operational legal framework is developed around security tokens, they might slowly but steadily replace many of the traditional trade operations by bringing more automation and transparency."

Confirmed in a press release on Aug. 19, Rakuten Wallet, which is a subsidiary of Japanese e-commerce giant Rakuten, said spot trading of three cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH) — was now live.
In future, developers plan to release an app for iOS and Android, use of which will be mandatory for deposits and withdrawals.

“Customers who already have a bank account with Rakuten Bank will be able to easily open a Rakuten Wallet account simply by entering the required information on the online application form,” the press release added.

"Ever since Facebook unveiled its plan to launch a cryptocurrency, Libra, policymakers around the world have been up in arms. Beyond core concerns of trust, they are worried Libra could be used to launder money, finance terrorism or destabilize central bank fiat currencies.
They're right to be worried. Libra should not move forward until all concerns are fully addressed. But the debate surrounding Libra underscores a larger issue with the lack of clear regulation of cryptocurrencies at large."

"Governments worldwide are changing the way they regulate crypto assets to comply with the global cryptocurrency standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Some are amending existing laws, while others are creating a new system to cooperate and share data.
A number of countries worldwide are reportedly setting up a new cryptocurrency system to help them comply with the FATF standards. Fifteen nations are planning to create a global system “to collect and share personal data on individuals who conduct cryptocurrency transactions,” Nikkei reported on Aug. 9, noting that “the G7 members, Australia, and Singapore will develop the new system.” The G7 members are France, Japan, Canada, Italy, Germany, the U.K., and the U.S."

"2019 is the year when the blockchain ecosystem and the crypto industry as a whole had to get sober. After a wild 2017 and a bear 2018, the blockchain space is back on an upwards trajectory with new developments. There are no more Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) to distract the crypto ecosystem and the building mentality is back on. This post-ICO and post-useless-PR-partnerships age urges the blockchain community to be less focused on the current price of bitcoin and more focused on producing meaningful services and advancements. Big projects from established enterprises like Facebook Libra are taking all the media space now and this is net positive for the enterprise blockchain space as well."

The team behind Trust Wallet announced the development in a tweet today, Aug. 12, also revealing that the wallet will be available in the Mac App Store shortly.
In a series of tweets, Trust Wallet founder Viktor Radchenko disclosed that support for Linux will be launched next week. Radchenko further said that the main challenge for the team now is to port Trust Wallet to Windows, which they have ostensibly not done yet. Radchenko also noted that most desktop crypto users — around 75% — are on Windows."

"Bitcoin, which recorded a new hash rate high, and increased by over 12 percent over the same seven day period, is responsible for all of those market gains. At the time of writing total market cap is at $304 billion, $20 billion higher than this time last week. According to Tradingview, BTC dominance is almost 71 percent and the altcoins are getting obliterated.
Ethereum has dumped over 5 percent today in a slide back below $215. Since its high of $238 earlier this week, ETH has been in free fall plunging 10 percent to current levels. With no fundamentals in sight and weak technical, Ethereum could be back below $200 by next week, especially if big brother decides to pull back again."

It could have profound implications for a continent which receives a huge amount of remittances - and is one of the least-banked regions of the world, something that has allowed for other innovations like mobile cash payments to take hold in Africa."

"diamDEXX has leveraged Microsoft Azure’s reliability and secure solutions to develop the diamDEXX wallet. This wallet enables users to trade using DIAM, the first stable token 100% backed by physical diamonds –the world’s most precious and stable physical asset. DIAM is based on the Ethereum ERC-20 protocol which promotes security and transparency.

The ERC-20 protocol also enables diamDEXX to use smart-contracts that embed predetermined rules, allowing users to redeem their DIAM to purchase physical diamonds at the best market price, creating an immutable shared ledger across the entire diamantaire network. In fact, DIAM allows users to choose between 7,000 diamond manufacturers and over 800,000 fully-certified stones."

"In the decade since the 2008 financial crisis, the monetary system has changed tremendously. Once unshakable pillars of the industry no longer exist, and new financial instruments, like digital currencies, have become more accessible.

At its peak, Bitcoin and hundreds of other digital currencies achieved a market cap of nearly $800 billion. But despite a well-publicized price drop, these tokens continue to be popular investment vehicles in the digital age.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that they are fulfilling their purpose. Bitcoin was initially intended to serve as a borderless, decentralized currency that could facilitate commerce in the digital age. However, it’s erratic valuations, and broad speculative interest has made it more akin to digital gold than to usable currency."

"In the United States and many other countries, Bitcoin payments are treated as taxable events. In other words, Bitcoin users should be tracking the capital gains they accrue when they buy something with the cryptocurrency. From a tax perspective, a Bitcoin payment is treated the same as a sale of one’s Bitcoin holdings. Technically, this policy applies to everything from the purchase of a house to buying a coffee in the morning on the way to work."

Over the last few months, Facebook has been softening the ban in the run up to the announcement of Libra—and it appears scammers are taking advantage. Libra scams may not help Facebook convince lawmakers and regulators that it can protect user privacy and prevent the digital currency from being used in criminal activity. Facebook has already eroded the trust of both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill after scandals involving the spread of disinformation and a failure to safeguard user data."

"The African region is ripe for the adoption of blockchain in the area of digital payments. The M-Pesa mobile payment system has been operating in Kenya since 2007. It enables users to send payments to one another via a text message, using their cellphone SIM card as a store of credit. It quickly caught on to become the go-to means of making payments and was credited with lifting two percent of Kenya’s population out of poverty. M-Pesa has since rolled out to other developing countries.
This only underscores the critical role that blockchain will play in helping future generations exist outside of poverty. Like M-Pesa, cryptocurrencies provide a similar means of payment for the unbanked."

"One of the greatest benefits of blockchain is that it empowers communities to create its own solutions and incentivization systems, rather than looking toward a higher centralized power. If harnessed in the right way, blockchain can unlock ‘natural capital’ in communities, particularly in the context of the environment, where the problem of global commons is most prevalent. By creating transparency and reward-based systems, new technology can create widespread change, perhaps bypassing the challenge of converting climate skeptics."

Speaking to Yahoo Finance a few weeks back, Thomas Lee, a co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, noted that the launch of Facebook’s Libra, Donald Trump’s mention of the cryptocurrency space, overall institutional involvement, and further macroeconomic unrest could help Bitcoin in reaching the $20,000 to $40,000 range by the end of the year. He elaborates:

“Bitcoin is now trading at a level that it’s only seen 3% of its historical days. If you go back to every milestone that that was achieved, bitcoin subsequently rallied somewhere between 200% to 400% within the next four months, so I think if that’s playing out this time that means bitcoin could be $20,000 to $40,000 sometime in the fourth quarter.”

"Bitcoin and other similar currencies may be best suited as speculative assets, but they do not represent the full expression of the crypto ecosystem. Stablecoins, a specific type of cryptocurrency that, as the name indicates, prioritize stability by aligning their value with another asset like dollars, gold, or other resources, offer a more practical option for the unbanked.

Libra eschews each of these categories, choosing instead to base its value off of a basket of global currencies and low-volatility securities that will give the currency both a unique valuation and a reliable price.

Of course, Libra isn’t carving out its own niche in the crypto space. The stablecoin market already features several players that are creating unique takes on the stablecoin initaitve, all in an effort to bolster the usability of digital currencies around the world."

"Facebook has said that Libra will keep a stable value because it will be backed by a reserve containing mainly cash deposits of US dollars, British pounds, euros, and Japanese yen. The approach takes cues from other so-called stablecoins, an emerging class of digital currencies. But the basic idea underlying stablecoins isn’t new, Bullard said. Nations have tried to “peg” their currency’s value to that of another currency, often the US dollar. In that case, the central bank promises to convert a fixed amount of its nation’s currency for a dollar. "

"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."

"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?"

Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has achieved only 12% recognition since it went live in July 2015 and it can be assumed that smaller cryptocurrencies litecoin and Ripple's XRP are still less well known.
"We believe that crypto and the blockchain technology that underpins it will be essential to tomorrow’s economy," said Guy Hirsch, U.S. managing director of eToro. "By introducing the concept to a new audience, libra could play a vital role in the evolution of decentralized and more democratized finance."

"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.

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."

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."

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.

To achieve this, the Libra coin will act as stablecoin, which will be fully backed by a basket of major currencies and government securities (such as Treasury Notes).
However, although the Libra project is not expected to launch until 2020, Facebook has already caught the attention of U.S. regulators.

And as a result, many have looked to Bitcoin and its brethren — other digital assets — as a much-needed escape hatch from fiat and government overreach. Indeed, the cryptocurrency was released in the wake (and seemingly as a result) of the 2008 Great Depression, and many that have since flocked to the cryptocurrency are staunch anti-establishment proponents."

"The biggest crypto exchange by volume Binance and digital asset Trust company Paxos have integrated a new fiat deposit gateway on Binance’s flagship trading platform.
According to a press release published on June 26, the gateway will enable traders to exchange fiat currency for the PAX Standard (PAX) stablecoin on the Paxos platform via wire transfer. The amount will then be reflected directly as a PAX-denominated balance in their Binance accounts."

"Facebook’s plan to operate its own digital currency poses risks to the international banking system that should trigger a speedy response from global policymakers, according to the organisation that represents the world’s central banks. Although the move of big tech firms such as Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba into financial services could speed up transactions and cut costs, especially in developing world countries, it could also undermine the stability of a banking system that has only just recovered from the crash of 2008."

"In May, Binance released a report about the state of the stablecoin market. It brings the extent of the current stablecoin boom into sharp relief. In 2019, stablecoins have already overtaken Bitcoin in trading volume. This is driving others to get in on the current trend. For example, Binance itself has announced its intentions to release a stablecoin. In even bigger news, all eyes have been on Facebook since it confirmed it would be launching its own stable version of a cryptocurrency."

"DIAM was created with the idea of liquidising diamonds, the most crisis-resistant asset and one of the top-performing asset classes in the world. diamDEXX has stated that thanks to this, pegging their currency to $1, and establishing a redeeming system where users can get their currency’s worth in diamonds, they’re building a currency that rivals the stability and consistency of the Gold Standard Dollar. The company aims to create a borderless, low-fee platform for payments worldwide and is moving fast towards this goal, with several papers reporting on its partnership with tech giant Microsoft."

"There are several criteria that are critical to assess when determining a stablecoin’s quality.
The first criteria and perhaps the most important one as well would be liquidity. Will you be able to actually get cash for the token, when the time comes? How quick can you convert cryptocurrencies to the stable coin? How accessible is it?
The primary reasons to hold a stablecoin are for the ease of moving dollar figures between exchanges, and for storing value. Therefore, the number of exchanges that support a given stablecoin is important."

"There's been a lot of talk about how cryptocurrencies and blockchain are at odds with policy objectives and nation-states, especially with the emergence of Libra and the reaction to it from policy-makers across the world. However, there are areas of collaboration where the spirit of bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies it spawned reduces the volatility generated by the conventional financial system."

To this, Facebook’s new Head of Blockchain, David Marcus, optimistically said: “To earn people’s trust, we are going to have to make a strong commitment on privacy.”"

"Sidechains are a specific mechanism that allows cryptocurrencies to interact with one another. They serve to add flexibility to systems, allowing for tracking and testing in-network, helping support their main chain. Through a sidechain, diamDEXX is allowing DIAM (an ERC-20 token) to freely interact with the EOS network, which supports bigger applications and doesn’t charge fees. An EOS sidechain also helps add security to the original chain, creating a perfect platform for micropayments and daily use."

"A stablecoin is a digital currency with a value pegged to and backed by an asset with a relatively stable value, like US dollars. Blockchain projects such as Tether already offer a stablecoin based on US dollars. Now, a new company called diamDEXX is offering the opportunity to invest in stablecoins where the value is tied to one dollar, but the currency itself is backed by physical reserves of diamonds.

The diamonds held in reserve by diamDEXX are stored in five different tax-free zones. The diamonds are audited by IDEX, and subject to the Kimberley Protocol, which certifies the diamonds do not originate from a conflict zone."

The primary reasons to hold a stablecoin are for the ease of moving dollar figures between exchanges, and for storing value. Therefore, the number of exchanges that support a given stablecoin is important.
Another important factor would be the issuer and its associates. Are they a reputable, regulated company? Are their operations transparent? Do they use auditing firms, if so – who? How stable are their banking relationships, and where is it located regulation wise? How transparent are they with its investors?

Hi, All!

We're starting a channel for The COINsistent Show, a weekly special where we'll review the actuality of crypto's actually important currencies.

With a very clear set of criteria, and armed with tons of research, we'll cover the assets that we call COINsistents: Currencies that promise consistency both as everyday money and as vehicles of speculation.

We hope you all like our videos, and can help us with some feedback about them!
