亲爱的BlockCC听众朋友们下午好,我是小C,欢迎收听本期“币须知道”。币圈生猛资讯,最新趋势解读,尽在BlockCC“币须知道”。 首先,我们来回顾下一周币圈大小事。三国调研:加密货币投资领域潜在成长空间大 加密货币作为一个比股市还 “惊心动魄” 的市场,一直吸引着投资者的目光。美国区块链公司Circle发现,在美国,四分之一的千禧一代想要投资加密货币资产。英国Rathbone投资管理公司的调研结果发现13% 的英国公民已有投资计划。而吴晓波针对中国中产阶级的调研则显示,有3% 的中国公民已经投资了加密货币,并有一半的投资者已经将超过10%的家庭财富分配给加密资产方面的投资。 研究机构:2018年数字货币交易量将超美国公司债务总额 其实,从交易量上,我们也能直观地看到数字货币巨大的潜在空间。研究机构Satis Group近期的报告显示,全球数字货币的交易量预期将超过美国公司债券市场的交易量。几个主流币的单月交易量就更加不得了了。比特币单月交易量已经超过了德国最大的证券交易所Deutsche Borse的单月交易量,以太坊的单月交易量和澳大利亚最大的证券交易所持平。 爆料:火牛视频涉嫌“圈钱” 号称区块链界“YouTube+抖音”的火牛视频这下真火了,不过是因为涉嫌用高额返利诱导用户进行“圈钱”。用户爆料说,火牛视频分红,两天连降90%。现在,火牛视频官网上已经抹去了之前白皮书里的团队和顾问信息,也把“分红”两个字巧妙的改成了“回馈”。 数据:七成代币价格跌破ICO发行价 像这样的“圈钱”项目,相信币圈老人们已经见怪不怪了。Diar近期一份报告显示,七成代币价格跌破ICO发行价。另一份来自TokenData的数据还显示,在2017-2018年间完成ICO并筹集超过23亿美元的代币中,超过三分之一尚未在任何交易所上市。 加密评级机构创始人:如何识别ICO骗局 那么我们应该怎么识别这些骗局呢。让我们来听下加密货币评级网站Cointelligence创始人的看法吧。他向投资者介绍了8种识别ICO骗局的方法,一是不正常的、做得不好的,或抄袭的网站;二是虚假的团队介绍;三是可疑或非原创白皮书;四是公司目标不明确;五是没有维护代码库;六是没有私募阶段;七是资金使用不透明;八是没有法人实体或注册公司。 火币集团发布辞退违纪人员的处理通报 很快就到国庆七天长假了,这可是许多人翘首盼望的日子。但是呢,火币员工却有另一波新奇的操作。有五名火币员工悄咪咪地给自己加调休,最多的竟然调休了37.8天,而人事竟然都没有审核就批准了。当然,这五名员工的神操作已经被发现了,并且已经被辞退了。 大咖齐聚火币公链领袖竞选总决赛 今天下午,火币公链领袖竞选决赛在海南举行,比特大陆联合创始人吴忌寒等火币公链专家顾问团也来到竞选总决赛现场。火币公链意图成为未来社会自金融的底层平台,实现“让金融更高效,让财富更自由”。在本轮竞选结束后,火币公链将会进入白皮书完成及技术实现阶段,然后再经由测试和生态建设,最终主网上线,正式发布。 矿圈方面在本周最大的消息无疑就是比特大陆赴港上市了。 从比特大陆的业务结构来看,矿机销售一直是其营收支柱。不过从招股书内容来看,此时的比特大陆更愿意被看做是一家AI企业。比特大陆表示,将会把集资所得部分用于高科技AI芯片及AI应用的研发和扩大生产。CEO吴忌寒还曾预测称公司未来五年内会有40%的收入来自AI。就在比特大陆提出申请公开招股后,BCH的价格在24小时内飙升超过20%。 最后我们简要地来浏览链圈的消息。1. 调查显示,60%的生命科学组织正在使用区块链,39%的人认为该系统的透明度是它最佳特征。2. 杭州江干法院完成全国首例司法区块链投票3. TechCrunch编辑Josh Constine表示,可用性是区块链成为主流的最主要障碍 如果你对我们的节目有什么看法,欢迎评论留言,小C会根据评论送上神秘大礼哦。好了,说完今天的币圈事件,再来讲讲今日的币种行情。行情时间截止2018年9月28日17:30分,数据由BlockCC整理 BTC目前价格为4.5673万元,相比昨天涨了2.5%,交易量达到了321.90亿元,净流出资金达到了-317.73万元 ETH现在售价1539.4元,总体涨了4.97%,交易量达到了73.139亿,净流出资金达到了-6787.0万交易量前200币种各种排行榜涨幅排行榜前三的是OCC、ENJ(恩金币)、PST跌幅排行榜前三的是BOXX、HPT、TRIG24H净流入排行榜净流入排行榜前三的是EOS(柚子)、LTC(莱特币)、BTM(比原链)净流出排行榜前三的是ETH(以太坊)、BIX、CAM 币圈生猛资讯,最新趋势解读,尽在BlockCC“币须知道”。登陆BlockCC官方网站:http://block.cc/,了解更多资讯。今天的节目到此结束啦,感谢收听,我们下周同一时间再见。
Emma Channing, CEO and general counsel at Satis Group, brings her legal experience and token space expertise to Blockchain Bridge to delve into what it will take for the capital raise and security token market to take off. Emma, who worked on Blockchain Capital's security token offering (a seminal moment in the space), discusses what's changed in the market since then. She talks about the emergence of Alternative Trading Systems (ATS) for security tokens -- i.e. Sharespost; OpenFinance Network and Templum -- and why there's change in how the market views these offerings, who uses them, and ultimately how they'll operate (risk management, smarter contract design and more adept use of regulations to limit "flow back" into markets). Emma goes into why we're seeing more interest from sophisticated and traditional rather crypto-rich investors in security tokens, due to the latter being skeptical of more regulated offerings because they are used to the ease of transactions and speed of investing in the ICO space. Emma also explains why she believes if a token is truly a utility, then you can't turn it into a security, or you'll kill it "stone cold dead." According to Emma, security tokens are a "revolution not an evolution," and that confidence in the market still comes from the traditional approach of raising in stages. She believes this is healthier then raising your next 10 years of financing in one year. She also believes that Family Office Networks and institutional investors who are looking for more custody and control (paper & digital), will start opening up to engaging with the space. And that to touch a security, you need an ATS and a broker dealer license; without them you face serious negative consequences. Emma talks about the difference in perception versus reality in security tokens, and offers Blockchain Bridge listeners some tips for how to navigate this market: It's really important to have a capital markets background. All the rules of investment banking still apply. Smart people want to work with your securities lawyer and international law firm, not your blockchain lawyer -- don't take on that risk. There's still a huge misconception about how much can really be raised. Conducting a $5 to $10 million raise (up to $20 million) is more realistic these days. Investors are looking for executives who a have been successful in other fields, not people who are just slapping "blockchain" on something and thinking it'll blow up for $50 million. Only a handful of projects knocking it out of the park, including protocol based offerings and teams that have been up and running for a while, and who have major VCs involved. Mindful applications and uses of blockchain that align with its core value proposition, and developers familiar with the tech to deliver products will be the winners. Emma reminds us what's exciting about security tokens is that they can trade instantly, and they're a fantastic way of addressing illiquidity (for private equity). When the rules can be set by the issuer, they can control how founders are rewarded and how long they're locked up, which can reduce the pressure to exit. Emma talks about why she likes to refer to whiskey receipts case law when trying to understand securities, and why she believes it will take 3-5 years before we'll have the necessary legal precedence we need for security tokens. She goes into why the SEC is leaving room for a dual token structure, and why the definition of what's a security across global markets including Europe, Asia and the US, is causing many to projects flee offshore given the uncertainty and near impossibility of doing a security token in the US.
