The Gold Token: The best opportunity to invest in gold-backed cryptocurrency

Since the advent of bitcoin in 2009, cryptocurrencies have been always criticized for not having a physical backing. Also, the lack of a central authority controlling issuance and supply has rendered the value of cryptocurrencies questionable by financial experts. Add to all of this the high volatility levels of cryptos which is one of the main obstacles hindering mass adoption of cryptocurrencies.

To mitigate these challenges, the concept of gold-backed cryptocurrency has emerged. These currencies operate in a similar fashion to traditional cryptocurrencies, except that they are backed by tangible gold, via allocated or unallocated gold storage. Stablecoins are a form of asset backed cryptocurrency which was developed to address crypto’s extreme price swings. A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency whose value is “pegged” to assets with stable value including fiat currencies (e.g. USD, EUR, etc) and precious metals. Gold-backed cryptocurrencies are special forms of stablecoins, the value of which are pegged to that of gold. Combining the innovative capabilities of the blockchain technology with gold offers a convenient solution to the highly volatile cryptocurrency market.

The list of gold-backed cryptocurrency has been growing steadily. One of such currencies is Gold Token. Issued by DIGITAL GOLD LTD, Gold Token is combining the best attributes of gold and blockchain technology. Simply stated the Gold Token is delivering a gold backed currency to the market, while providing a secure and private ecosystem. 

Gold Token aims to resolve the questions regarding cryptocurrency not having ‘intrinsic value’ by linking its value to gold. The company will provide investment opportunity to its costumer by allowing them to exchange Gold Token for any major cryptocurrency at a favorable price. The Gold Token is 100% of backed by physical gold. Amount of physical gold stored can be matched against the total number of tokens in real-time. 

This gold backed digital currency is set to create a new benchmark in the cryptocurrency industry as the best crypto to invest in. People who firmly believe in using gold as a measure of value can find real value with this gold backed digital currency. Moreover, Gold Token also provides secure environment for investors by provided an agreement with the world's largest insurance specie underwriters, Chubb Insurance, to cover all risks at full replacement value of physical gold stored in vault. This is an ultimate model that offers a two-in-one benefit to investors. It is one of the best asset backed securities and asset backed investments that ever existed in the cryptocurrency platform.

In addition, the technology allows users to buy, transfer and make a payment using Gold Token. It supports transferring between users or business transaction with very low fees compared to traditional banking services to send money. 

As a novel digital gold currency, Gold Token digitize their value to the Blockchain that facilitates gold commodification, thereby they lessen the volatility of cryptocurrency and enable small investors to participate in the gold commodity with the Gold Token. 

The Gold Token is set as an ERC20 token standard on Ethereum Blockchain. The value is pegged at 1 GOLD = 1 gram of gold (99.99% FINE). The amount of physical gold stored that backed the Token can be verified any time at gold.storage site. Moreover, the website is featured with built-in marketplace where the Gold holder can instantly exchange Gold Token in BTC or ETH.

In conclusion, the Gold Token project aims to:

• Protect the costumer with gold-backed digital asset
• Decentralize the opportunity to invest in a multi-million dollar gold industry; 
• Enable anyone to securely store and transfer value anytime, anywhere

ASSET TOKENIZATION ON BLOCKCHAIN

Through tokenization, investing is cheaper, faster, more secure and available every hour of the day. This opens up real-world assets and the world of cryptocurrencies to people who previously may not have been able to invest due to geographic or financial restrictions, and offers an alternative to traditional and largely outdated investment methods.

In this article, we’ll explain what tokenization means, and an promising of project of asset tokenization, Soraix.com.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO “TOKENIZE” AN ASSET?

Tokenization is a relatively new term used to describe a cryptocurrency fund raise in which investors exchange fiat or crypto currency for “tokens”.

In a nutshell, tokenization is one way to securitize real assets.

To securitize an asset means to divide it into shares that you can sell to investors. In the same way, to “tokenize” an asset is to divide it into shares, or “tokens”, that represent a predefined share of the underlying asset. They are therefore often called “equity tokens”.

These tokens are secured through the immutability of blockchain technology, and they’re tradeable via crypto exchanges.

CREATING A NEW EQUITY TOKEN

When a company decides to tokenize its stock, an equity token is created to represent shares of the stock. The total value of equity tokens will be equivalent to the total value of the asset. Let’s look at a simple example.

Imagine that you have some property — say an apartment. You need cash quickly. The apartment is valued at $150,000 but you just need $10,000. Can you do this quickly without much friction? To my best knowledge, this is next to impossible.

Enter tokenization. Tokenization is a method that converts rights to an asset into a digital token. Suppose there is a $200,000 apartment. Tokenization can transform this apartment into 200,000 tokens (the number is totally arbitrary, we could have issued 2 million tokens). Thus, each token represents a 0.0005% share of the underlying asset. Finally, we issue the token on some sort of a platform supporting smart contracts, for example on Ethereum, so that the tokens can be freely bought and sold on different exchanges. When you buy one token, you actually buy 0.0005% of the ownership in the asset. Buy 100,000 tokens and you own 50% of the assets. Buy all 200,000 tokens and you are 100% owner of the asset. Obviously, you are not becoming a legal owner of the property. However, because Blockchain is a public ledger that is immutable, it ensures that once you buy tokens, nobody can “erase” your ownership even if it is not registered in a government-run registry. It should be clear now why Blockchain enables this type of services.

Thus, we took an asset, tokenized it and created its digital representation that lives on Blockchain. Blockchain guarantees that the ownership information is immutable.

The next step is to sell the tokens to investors.

MEET SORAIX PLATFORM

Let me introduce you Soraix.com, a platform where the companies of all sizes to raise capital via their own ETO (Equity Token Offering) to open an investment opportunity for equity tokens representing fractional interest on their assets. Soraix aims to transform traditional stock exchanges by tokenizing the exchange of assets via blockchain technology, resulting in wider adaptation and stability in the industry.

HOW INVESTORS AND OWNERS BENEFIT FROM SORAIX 

Soraix Tokenization Platform removes the middle man, making it easier and cheaper for investors to buy/sell company stock and for owners/developers to raise capital. Investors can trade tokens almost instantly and for a very low fee (similar to stock market trades). For owners, tokenization makes it possible to raise capital without financial intermediaries to underwrite the project.

Company Stock market has historically delivered attractive returns, but it has high barriers to entry because the assets involved are so expensive. Investors in tokenized assets get the best of both worlds: the high returns of investments (even with a very small investment), and the liquidity of the stock market.

It’s also important to note that because equity tokens are backed by real assets, they carry far less risk than other cryptocurrency tokens, which are highly volatile and speculative assets. What’s more, traditional users will benefit from Soraix one-of-its-kind revenue sharing model, which enabling them to trade their Soraix Tokens (SRX) using a 1:1 peg against Equity Tokens issued on Soraix platform by companies raising capital, regardless of the value of either token.

SORAIX ICO

In order to bring the platform to live, Soraix is currently conducting an ICO of SRX Token. The ICO is open to investors of all portfolio sizes, with no minimum token purchase, enabling the vast majority of those interested to participate in this opportunity.

The ICO has started on August 26, 2019 and will be ended on November 24, 2019. An amount of 60% (600,000,000) of SRX Token supply (1,000,000,000) will be available to purchase. With the initial price equivalent to 0.00025 ETH per token, Soraix developers intend to collect in the minimum target of $4,500,000, and maximum of $24,000,000 during the ICO.

Kernel-Trade Platform Opens the Agricultural Sector for Crypto-Investors

Kernel-Trade came out with innovative technology for the grain, real estate and property market, a software platform tokenization of agricultural assets and real estate, based on the blockchain solution. The goal of the platform is to stimulate the development of agro-industrial enterprises through the creation of a tokenized ecosystem for physical assets and property rights.

The platform brings together farmers, traders, investors and exporters of inside a secure and efficient ecosystem.

Within the platform, a farmer can sell his harvest on the platform. KNL provides him with insurance and an contributor can buy it now at a favorable price. As the result, a farmer gets profitable investment (working capital for increase in cultivation), and the contributor gets a tokenized asset (in the form of a real amount of grain in an elevator, accredited on the platform). The tokenized asset can be sold on the exchange any time.

To date, asset-backed tokens are used in various industries (real estate, finance, etc.), but the agricultural market has a significant investment potential, as it provides opportunities in the market with high margins and low risks. By definition, asset-backed tokens are backed by assets which minimizes risks, but asset-backed tokens issued within Smartlands will also provide expected returns identical to investment in equity.

Recently, the Kernel-Trade platform announced the initial exchange offer (IEO)  of the project token, KNL. Coinsbit Cryptocurrency Exchange will be trusted to hold the event.

KNL tokens offered during the IEO is ERC20-compliant token issued on Ethereum blockchain. The IEO will be held in two rounds. The first round will be held from August 27 to August 29 2019. The second round will open on 29 August 2019. Total amount of tokens sales within the IEO is 17,000,000. The price of the KNL token is set at $0.1, and the minimum purchase amount is 1 KNL. The softcap is $350,000, and the hardcap is $1,700,000.

Development of Kernel-Trade blockchain platform started in late 2018. The goal of the project is to open agricultural markets to the crypto-investors and contribute to the sustainable development of the agro-industrial complex throughout the world. The work is led by an international group of experts in the fields of finance, agriculture, and blockchain.

Cycoin: Cryptocurrency Investing Made Easy

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are a highly lucrative and dynamic investment that can provide a significant profit. There are many different techniques used to track and predict the movement of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices, from fundamental analysis of market trends to more advanced technical analysis of statistical patterns in the market.

All of the different techniques used to track the price of Bitcoin and other currencies have one common factor- they require investors to remain up to date on the latest market movements. In addition to keeping track of the cryptocurrency market, it’s also necessary to buy and sell on an exchange, select a Bitcoin wallet, and make analytical interpretations of the statistical data gathered during market observation.

These processes can be performed manually, but can be time consuming and repetitive. Fortunately, a wide range of tools and apps are available to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency investors that streamline the process of tracking a portfolio, trading, and analyzing.

In this article, we’ll take a quick look at the most promising cryptocurrency investment project, Cycoin. What is Cycoin? And how it works?

About Cycoin

Found online at https://cycoin.co/, Cycoin is an investment platform created to manage investments for a wide range of people on the basis of a smart and safe system of capital distribution. Cycoin mission is to provide investors access to the cryptocurrency investment markets with a dependable and easy mechanism to hold a pool of cryptocurrencies which will deliver an income stream, without the headache of scouring through hours of research and manual investing. 

Cycoin aims to deliver the world’s first digital asset-backed coin which gives investors a low-risk income stream derived from cryptocurrency market investments. In order to do that, Cycoin will utilize a base-layer governance protocol within the Cycoin blockchain called Coin Democracy, a decentralized voting system for investors to express their stake in the fund and shape its future direction in accordance with their peers. 

Coin Democracy works as a platform-wide voting system where each Cycoin is equal to one vote. Proposals regarding the use of the fund are put to a vote, and once Cycoin holders have made a decision, it is ratified and enacted via smart contracts.

Coin Democracy not only gives each holder a direct and active role in the management of Cycoin-held cryptocurrency assets, but it also works as a failsafe. If holders decide to release and distribute those assets back to holders entirely, the smart contract-backed decision will release the funds from the trust to every participant in proportion to their Cycoin holdings.

Business Model

The Cycoin work strategies include 4 business models:

1. Margin Lending

Margin lending is an investment practice and common in all capital markets, including crypto markets. The way margin lending works is by letting you to borrow money to invest and uses your shares or managed funds as security. It can help you increase your returns but it can also result in some loss, although usually minimal.

The Cycoin team will open funding wallets on major exchanges providing margin lending facilities to traders, such as Poloniex, Bitfinex and BitMEX. For the first month, initially 100% of the fund, then thereafter, a minimum of 50% and up to 80% of the fund will be converted to crypto currencies and placed across a number of exchanges for the purpose of lending those currencies to traders on the exchanges to earn margin lending interest. Margin lending interest differs depending upon the currency and according to supply/demand disparity. They range from .02% per day to 5% per day.

2. Opportunistic Arbitrage

Arbitrage is the simultaneous buying and selling of currency, or commodities in different markets or in derivative forms in order to take advantage of differing prices for the same asset. 

Cycoin will utilise Arbitrage App to collate price information of all currency pairs for all exchanges globally that have price and volume API data available. Cycoin App will indentify and calculate instances where there are two of the same currency pairs on different exchanges which differ in price. The App will provide a signal to identify an arbitrage opportunity is available. Up to 30% of the fund will be dedicated to talking arbitrage profit.

3. Pre-ICO and ICO investments

The Cycoin team access a number of processional ICO assessment networks such as CoinList, ICOBench and Smih&Crown analysis services, as well as angel investor networks, to source pre-vetted ICO opportunities. They also monitor the ICO market generally across a wide range of ICO listing sites as Coinrating, ICO drops and ICO hot list in order to identify ICO opportunities which have merit for assessment. Up to 50% of the fund will invest in good Pre-ICO and ICO opporunities.

4. Fund Income Reinvestment

10% of the income derived from Pre-ICO and ICO investments will be retained from distribution and reinvested along with the general fund to increase the amount of crypto currencies held. This will serve to compound the earning capacity of the fund and increase the asset backing of the coin for the benefit of Cycoin holders.

How It Works

Cycoin is an asset backed coin, backed by the cryptocurrencies purchased on Cycoin’s investment objectives. Cycoin holders will receive voting power over the pool of cryptocurrencies. They will hold selected currencies that are established and real (usually in the top 100 by market cap) to conduct margin lending activities and take advantage of arbitrage opportunities that arise periodically in the crypto markets. Cycoin will also allocate a portion of the fund to invest in curated pre-ICO's and ICO's which will be carefully scrutinized and selected by the team and external professionals in the crypto markets.

Cycoin Team

According to the website, Cycoin’s team consists of 4 professionals and experts, who has various domains including the fund management, marketing, and software development.
