General Market
Outlook
The market continues to rise after
a sharp rebound. Nearly all coins in the top 100 are up but trading
volume is dropping slightly. Bitcoin Gold (BTG) and Veritaseum
(VERI) are the major stand outs of the top 100 coins - up over 18%
and 16% respectively in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin is right around
$6,300 for about +2% change and Ethereum is right at $440 for +2%
change in the past 24 hours. Market cap for the overall
cryptocurrency market hit a low of $242 billion but has since
rebounded to 250 billion total.

Headlines
Potential World’s First
Decentralized Bank
Binance participating in the
funding for the world’s first decentralized, community-owned bank
based out of Malta. The so-called “Founders Bank” has now received
a total of $155 Million funding, with Binance providing a 5% stake
of the total. Malta recently passed a series of bills to make their
country extremely favorable to blockchain companies, but banking
still brings complications. Know-your-customer and anti money
laundering regulations have been a struggle for the cryptocurrency
industry. But maybe most significantly, the standards set by this
bank will lay the precedent for subsequent cryptocurrency-based
banks.
First Completely
Blockchain-based Game
The financial industry is the
obvious front runner in blockchain and cryptocurrency development,
but will users in the gaming industry bite first to create a bigger
niche of cryptocurrency users? Gaming is one industry that is often
seen to be at the forefront of technology. Blockchain technology
allows gamers to finally own what they achieve in their games. When
games integrate tokenization, users can bring their possessions to
universal marketplaces to trade between separate games. Fuel Games,
who is backed by Coinbase, has now launched the first totally
blockchain based game - “Gods Unchained.” The game
operates on the Ethereum network.
Robinhood Following Through
With Cryptocurrencies
Back in March Robinhood completed a
4th round of funding for $350 million and announced plans for
adding cryptocurrency trading to their platform. Competition for
bringing in new traders to the cryptocurrency scene is expanding
rapidly. Circle has created Circle Invest for cryptocurrency asset trading,
and Coinbase has been making headlines consistently in 2018 for
adding services and talent from Wall Street to bring their platform
to institutional investors. Initially Robinhood offered trading for
Bitcoin and Ethereum only, but as of yesterday, the platform now
offers Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. The platform still plans to
increase to at least 16 different coins.
