										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="340" data-end="714"><a href="https://coinrule.com/trading212-bot/">Trading 212</a> has become one of the most popular retail brokerage platforms in Europe and the UK, known for its simple interface, zero-commission stock trading, and beginner-friendly design. With over 13,000 tradeable instruments and more than 10 million mobile app downloads, the platform has established itself as a gateway for many new investors entering financial markets.</p>
<p data-start="716" data-end="915">However, while Trading 212 excels in accessibility and ease of use, one major limitation has historically remained: the platform does not natively support algorithmic trading or API-based automation.</p>
<p data-start="917" data-end="945"><a href="http://coinrule.com/stock-trading-bot">Coinrule</a> addresses this gap.</p>
<p data-start="947" data-end="1539">With Coinrule’s integration, traders can connect their Trading 212 accounts and run automated trading strategies through Coinrule’s AI-powered stock trading bot. The platform uses rule-based automation combined with emerging agentic AI infrastructure to help traders design and supervise strategies that operate directly on their Trading 212 portfolio. Instead of manually executing every trade, Coinrule’s AI-assisted trading bot monitors the market continuously and executes trades according to predefined rules, enabling traders to deploy structured strategies with intelligent automation.</p>
<p data-start="1541" data-end="1776">This article explores what makes Trading 212 popular, how the platform works, and how Coinrule extends its capabilities through automated strategy execution using its AI-powered trading bot and emerging agentic trading framework.</p>
<h1 data-start="1783" data-end="1805">What is Trading 212?</h1>
<p data-start="1807" data-end="1991">Founded in 2004, Trading 212 is a multi-asset brokerage platform that offers access to global stocks, ETFs, forex markets, and CFDs through a highly intuitive mobile and web interface.</p>
<p data-start="1993" data-end="2242">The broker has built its reputation around simplicity and accessibility. According to the 2026 ForexBrokers.com Annual Awards, Trading 212 ranked #1 for Ease of Use, highlighting the platform’s clean design and beginner-friendly user experience.</p>
<p data-start="2244" data-end="2405">Trading 212 operates under strong regulatory oversight and maintains a Trust Score of 82, reflecting authorization from multiple Tier-1 regulators including:</p>
<ul data-start="2407" data-end="2559">
<li data-start="2407" data-end="2444">
<p data-start="2409" data-end="2444">Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2445" data-end="2504">
<p data-start="2447" data-end="2504">Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)</p>
</li>
<li data-start="2505" data-end="2559">
<p data-start="2507" data-end="2559">European regulatory coverage via MiFID passporting</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="2561" data-end="2700">These regulatory credentials position Trading 212 as a trusted entry point for retail investors looking to access global financial markets.</p>
<p data-start="2702" data-end="3072">For many investors, Trading 212 serves as the platform where they begin building portfolios of stocks and ETFs. With Coinrule’s integration, these same investors can now enhance their Trading 212 experience by deploying automated strategies through an AI-powered stock trading bot that uses rule-based logic and agentic AI systems to help manage trades more efficiently.</p>
<h1 data-start="3079" data-end="3113">Markets Available on Trading 212</h1>
<p data-start="3115" data-end="3201">Trading 212 offers a wide selection of tradeable assets across multiple asset classes.</p>
<p data-start="3203" data-end="3217">These include:</p>
<ul data-start="3219" data-end="3396">
<li data-start="3219" data-end="3253">
<p data-start="3221" data-end="3253"><strong data-start="3221" data-end="3253">Nearly 8,000 global equities</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3254" data-end="3288">
<p data-start="3256" data-end="3288"><strong data-start="3256" data-end="3288">Exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3289" data-end="3310">
<p data-start="3291" data-end="3310"><strong data-start="3291" data-end="3310">184 forex pairs</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3311" data-end="3334">
<p data-start="3313" data-end="3334"><strong data-start="3313" data-end="3334">36 global indices</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3335" data-end="3355">
<p data-start="3337" data-end="3355"><strong data-start="3337" data-end="3355">29 commodities</strong></p>
</li>
<li data-start="3356" data-end="3396">
<p data-start="3358" data-end="3396"><strong data-start="3358" data-end="3396">CFDs across multiple asset classes</strong></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="3398" data-end="3580">In total, the platform provides access to approximately <strong data-start="3454" data-end="3486">13,000 tradeable instruments</strong>, making it one of the broader retail offerings available through a single brokerage platform.</p>
<p data-start="3582" data-end="3819">Another defining feature is fractional share trading, which allows investors to purchase small portions of high-value stocks rather than requiring full share ownership. This dramatically lowers the barrier to entry for new investors.</p>
<p data-start="3821" data-end="3878">The platform also provides two primary account types:</p>
<p data-start="3880" data-end="3898"><strong data-start="3880" data-end="3898">Invest Account</strong></p>
<ul data-start="3900" data-end="4008">
<li data-start="3900" data-end="3947">
<p data-start="3902" data-end="3947">Commission-free trading for stocks and ETFs</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3948" data-end="3971">
<p data-start="3950" data-end="3971">Minimum deposit: €1</p>
</li>
<li data-start="3972" data-end="4008">
<p data-start="3974" data-end="4008">Designed for long-term investors</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4010" data-end="4025"><strong data-start="4010" data-end="4025">CFD Account</strong></p>
<ul data-start="4027" data-end="4160">
<li data-start="4027" data-end="4094">
<p data-start="4029" data-end="4094">Allows leveraged trading across forex, commodities, and indices</p>
</li>
<li data-start="4095" data-end="4119">
<p data-start="4097" data-end="4119">Minimum deposit: €10</p>
</li>
<li data-start="4120" data-end="4160">
<p data-start="4122" data-end="4160">Spreads apply instead of commissions</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="4162" data-end="4474">While the Invest account has become especially popular among retail investors building long-term portfolios, many users are now combining it with AI-assisted automation tools such as Coinrule’s stock trading bot to create rule-based investment strategies that operate automatically on their Trading 212 accounts.</p>
<h1 data-start="4481" data-end="4518">The Trading 212 Platform Experience</h1>
<p data-start="4520" data-end="4565">Trading 212 has focused heavily on usability.</p>
<p data-start="4567" data-end="4679">Both the mobile app and web platform share a similar design philosophy: simplicity first, complexity second.</p>
<p data-start="4681" data-end="4711">Key platform features include:</p>
<h3 data-start="4713" data-end="4746">TradingView Chart Integration</h3>
<p data-start="4748" data-end="4975">Trading 212 integrates TradingView charting technology, providing access to over 100 technical indicators and numerous drawing tools. Traders can analyze markets using a variety of chart types and customize chart templates.</p>
<h3 data-start="4977" data-end="4998">Custom Watchlists</h3>
<p data-start="5000" data-end="5087">Users can create personalized watchlists that automatically synchronize across devices.</p>
<h3 data-start="5089" data-end="5110">Economic Calendar</h3>
<p data-start="5112" data-end="5231">The platform includes a built-in economic calendar highlighting major macroeconomic events and expected market impacts.</p>
<h3 data-start="5233" data-end="5251">Community Feed</h3>
<p data-start="5253" data-end="5405">Trading 212 also includes a social feed where users can post market commentary and discuss trading ideas with other members of the platform’s community.</p>
<p data-start="5407" data-end="5552">These features contribute to a smooth user experience that has helped the platform earn strong ratings across mobile trading and platform design.</p>
<p data-start="5554" data-end="5810">When combined with Coinrule’s AI-powered stock trading bot and agentic automation framework, traders can use these tools for market analysis while allowing intelligent automated strategies to execute trades on their Trading 212 portfolio in the background.</p>
<h1 data-start="5817" data-end="5852">Where Trading 212 Has Limitations</h1>
<p data-start="5854" data-end="5965">Despite its accessibility, Trading 212 has historically lacked certain tools that more advanced traders expect.</p>
<p data-start="5967" data-end="5995">Notable limitations include:</p>
<ul data-start="5997" data-end="6189">
<li data-start="5997" data-end="6042">
<p data-start="5999" data-end="6042">No native support for <a href="http://coinrule.com/trade-tesla-stocks-with-ai-agents">algorithmic trading</a></p>
</li>
<li data-start="6043" data-end="6068">
<p data-start="6045" data-end="6068">No public trading API</p>
</li>
<li data-start="6069" data-end="6098">
<p data-start="6071" data-end="6098">No MetaTrader integration</p>
</li>
<li data-start="6099" data-end="6134">
<p data-start="6101" data-end="6134">Limited advanced research tools</p>
</li>
<li data-start="6135" data-end="6189">
<p data-start="6137" data-end="6189">Few automation capabilities for strategy execution</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="6191" data-end="6295">In practical terms, this means that traders using Trading 212 typically have to execute trades manually. For traders who want to run structured strategies or automate decision logic, this creates a constraint.</p>
<p data-start="6403" data-end="6443">This is where Coinrule becomes relevant.</p>
<p data-start="6445" data-end="6730">Coinrule acts as an <strong data-start="6465" data-end="6534">AI-powered stock trading bot and automation layer for Trading 212</strong>, allowing traders to create rule-based strategies supported by agentic AI systems that can monitor markets, interpret signals, and execute trades automatically without requiring coding expertise.</p>
<h1 data-start="6737" data-end="6787">How Coinrule Extends Trading 212 with Automation</h1>
<p data-start="6789" data-end="6944">Coinrule integrates Trading 212 into a broader automation framework that allows traders to run rule-based strategies directly from their brokerage account.</p>
<p data-start="6946" data-end="7096">Instead of manually placing every trade, users can define conditions that trigger automatic execution through Coinrule’s AI-powered stock trading bot.</p>
<p data-start="7098" data-end="7110">For example:</p>
<ul data-start="7112" data-end="7320">
<li data-start="7112" data-end="7150">
<p data-start="7114" data-end="7150">Buy when a stock drops 5% in a day</p>
</li>
<li data-start="7151" data-end="7185">
<p data-start="7153" data-end="7185">Sell when a position gains 10%</p>
</li>
<li data-start="7186" data-end="7218">
<p data-start="7188" data-end="7218">Rebalance a portfolio weekly</p>
</li>
<li data-start="7219" data-end="7268">
<p data-start="7221" data-end="7268">Enter positions based on technical indicators</p>
</li>
<li data-start="7269" data-end="7320">
<p data-start="7271" data-end="7320">React to price movements across multiple assets</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="7322" data-end="7482">Once a rule is deployed, Coinrule’s AI-assisted trading infrastructure monitors the market continuously and executes trades when the defined conditions are met.</p>
<p data-start="7484" data-end="7738">The Coinrule stock trading bot, enhanced by agentic AI frameworks designed to supervise and optimize strategy behavior, effectively transforms Trading 212 from a purely manual trading platform into an intelligent automated strategy execution environment.</p>
<h1 data-start="7745" data-end="7781">Connecting Trading 212 to Coinrule</h1>
<p data-start="7783" data-end="7935">Connecting a Trading 212 account to Coinrule allows users to automate strategies while keeping their funds securely held within their brokerage account.</p>
<p data-start="7937" data-end="7980">The process typically involves three steps:</p>
<h3 data-start="7982" data-end="8021">1. Connect Your Trading 212 Account</h3>
<p data-start="8023" data-end="8184">Users link their Trading 212 account to Coinrule using API so the platform’s AI-powered stock trading bot can monitor market conditions and execute trades on their behalf. Coinrule acts as an automation layer rather than a custodial service, meaning funds remain in the user’s brokerage account while AI-driven strategy execution is handled by the Coinrule platform.</p>
<h3 data-start="8382" data-end="8405">2. Build a Strategy</h3>
<p data-start="8407" data-end="8476">Traders can build strategies using Coinrule’s rule builder interface.</p>
<p data-start="8478" data-end="8511">These strategies can incorporate:</p>
<ul data-start="8513" data-end="8630">
<li data-start="8513" data-end="8531">
<p data-start="8515" data-end="8531">price triggers</p>
</li>
<li data-start="8532" data-end="8556">
<p data-start="8534" data-end="8556">technical indicators</p>
</li>
<li data-start="8557" data-end="8587">
<p data-start="8559" data-end="8587">portfolio allocation rules</p>
</li>
<li data-start="8588" data-end="8609">
<p data-start="8590" data-end="8609">market conditions</p>
</li>
<li data-start="8610" data-end="8630">
<p data-start="8612" data-end="8630">timing intervals</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="8632" data-end="8912">Coinrule also provides hundreds of strategy templates, allowing users to deploy automated strategies through its AI-assisted stock trading bot in minutes while benefiting from the platform’s agentic AI architecture that supports strategy monitoring and performance evaluation.</p>
<h3 data-start="8914" data-end="8940">3. Deploy the Strategy</h3>
<p data-start="8942" data-end="9055">Once deployed, Coinrule continuously monitors markets and executes trades when the rule conditions are satisfied.</p>
<p data-start="9057" data-end="9355">The system operates 24/7, allowing traders to maintain disciplined strategies without needing to constantly watch markets. Behind the scenes, Coinrule’s AI infrastructure and agentic automation framework help ensure strategies execute consistently while remaining within predefined risk parameters.</p>
<h1 data-start="9362" data-end="9408">Why Automation Matters for Trading 212 Users</h1>
<p data-start="9410" data-end="9472">Retail trading has changed significantly over the past decade.</p>
<p data-start="9474" data-end="9646">Markets move faster, information spreads instantly, and decision cycles have become shorter. Under these conditions, reacting manually to market movements can be difficult.</p>
<p data-start="9648" data-end="9712">Automation addresses several common challenges faced by traders:</p>
<p data-start="9714" data-end="9735"><strong data-start="9714" data-end="9735">Emotion Reduction</strong></p>
<p data-start="9737" data-end="9823">Rule-based systems remove impulsive decision making during volatile market conditions.</p>
<p data-start="9825" data-end="9840"><strong data-start="9825" data-end="9840">Consistency</strong></p>
<p data-start="9842" data-end="9905">Strategies are executed exactly as designed, without deviation.</p>
<p data-start="9907" data-end="9932"><strong data-start="9907" data-end="9932">Continuous Monitoring</strong></p>
<p data-start="9934" data-end="10026">Automation allows strategies to operate even when traders are not actively watching markets.</p>
<p data-start="10028" data-end="10063"><strong data-start="10028" data-end="10063">Structured Portfolio Management</strong></p>
<p data-start="10065" data-end="10148">Rules can enforce risk limits, rebalancing schedules, and profit-taking strategies.</p>
<p data-start="10150" data-end="10383">For traders using Trading 212, Coinrule’s AI-powered stock trading bot provides a way to access these capabilities without requiring programming knowledge while benefiting from the emerging capabilities of agentic AI trading systems.</p>
<h1 data-start="10390" data-end="10414">Trading 212 X <a href="http://coinrule.com/best-ai-app">Coinrule</a></h1>
<p data-start="10416" data-end="10515">Trading 212 has built one of the most accessible brokerage platforms available to retail investors.</p>
<p data-start="10517" data-end="10673">Its intuitive interface, large asset selection, and low minimum deposits make it an attractive starting point for new traders and long-term investors alike.However, as traders gain experience, many begin looking for ways to implement more structured strategies and reduce manual execution.</p>
<p data-start="10810" data-end="11050">By integrating Trading 212 with Coinrule, traders gain access to automated strategy execution through Coinrule’s AI-powered <a href="https://www.tradingview.com/news/markets/stocks/">stock</a> trading bot and agentic AI infrastructure while continuing to use the platform they are already familiar with.The combination allows investors to move from manual trading toward a more systematic, disciplined, and AI-assisted approach to managing their portfolios.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>Am I too late? </em>That&#8217;s what every new crypto investor is wondering in 2021 after a spectacular bull market that pushed the price of many coins higher by more than 10x in less than one year. To better answer this question, first, we need to understand where the price of cryptocurrencies could go. In particular, we will try to formulate an Ethereum price prediction for the next ten years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ethereum is the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after <a href="https://coinrule.com/bitcoin-bot/">Bitcoin</a>. With impressive community backing and exceptional blockchain technology, Ethereum&#8217;s future looks bright. The idea of Ethereum was introduced back in 2013 by Vitalik Buterin. Along with his co-founders, including Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and Consensys founder Joe Lubin, Buterin launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2014 when they sold the native token of Ethereum through an ICO (Initial Coin Offering). By the end of the ICO, Ethereum&#8217;s team had collected about 17 million US dollars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since 2014, the value of the Ethereum network has grown to over $300 billion. <a href="https://coinrule.com/blog/admin/eth-ethereum/ethereum-vs-cardano-which-should-you-invest-in/">While other protocols try to replace Ethereum</a>, it is still one of the most robust and most popular blockchain Smart Contract platforms. Its value comes mainly from the hundreds of different applications that run on top of it. If you&#8217;re interested in this crypto platform and want to know about Ethereum price prediction by 2030, this article is for you.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-current-environment"><strong>Current Environment</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DeFi projects on Ethereum have gathered billions in &#8216;Total Value Locked&#8217; (TVL) and the interest of institutional investors. People choose the Ethereum network to build on and invest in because of its strong community and the many practical use-cases. Decentralised finance applications built on the Ethereum blockchain allow users to borrow funds, lend funds, provide liquidity as market-makers, stake, send, pay and even buy insurance, all in a privacy-friendly, fully decentralised way. DeFi projects have removed the need for intermediary parties such as brokers and banks on many transactions and allow users to earn passive income in many different ways.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="520" class="wp-image-1875" src="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshot-2021-09-02-at-16.07.10-1024x520.png" alt="total value locked in DeFi" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshot-2021-09-02-at-16.07.10-1024x520.png 1024w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshot-2021-09-02-at-16.07.10-300x152.png 300w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshot-2021-09-02-at-16.07.10-768x390.png 768w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Screenshot-2021-09-02-at-16.07.10.png 1150w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">DeFi projects are an incredible bullish catalyst that has helped drive the growth in Ethereum&#8217;s price. The platform currently hosts well over 200,000 ERC tokens and powers numerous other types of cryptocurrencies across DeFi alone. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Despite the rise of competing Smart Contract Blockchains such as Solana or Avalanche, <a href="https://coinrule.com/bots/best-crypto-trading-platform/coinbase-pro/ethereum-eth/">Ethereum</a>&#8216;s ecosystem today is still synonymous with decentralised finance. Many would argue that because of the platform&#8217;s strong community, running of thousands of Smart Contracts and annual transactions in the trillions of dollars, Ethereum has intrinsic value. In May 2021, Ethereum&#8217;s price increased by a staggering 180 percent when a bull run commenced. It reached its all-time high value, which was $4,174 per coin. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-future-scenarios"><strong>Future Scenarios</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The future scenarios of Ethereum are also promising because of the current and upcoming development plans. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ethereum-2-0"><strong>Ethereum 2.0</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The developers behind Ethereum are working on the platform&#8217;s second generation known as Ethereum 2.0. It is to be released soon, and it aims to solve the problems that the platform is currently facing, which are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Transaction scalability</li>
<li>Sustainability</li>
<li>Disk space</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The upgrade will change the consensus mechanism of the platform from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake and, at a later stage, also introduce sharding technology. Currently, the Ethereum Blockchain can only manage to complete around 30 transactions per second. With the current high usage, gas costs have also been going through the roof. It&#8217;s said that Ethereum 2.0 will be able to complete a whopping 100,000 transactions per second. With these points in mind, <a href="https://www.finder.com/uk/ethereum-eth-price-prediction#:~:text=US%252410%252C000%2520by%2520December%25202025" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">there have been predictions</a> that the coin can reach $10,000 US dollars by 2025.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ethereum 2.0 is already being accompanied by so-called Layer Two scaling solutions for Ethereum. Platforms like Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Fantom, Starkware and others use technologies like Sidechains, Roll-ups and Zero-Knowledge Proofs to allow fast and cheap transactions that are still tied to the Ethereum ecosystem or blockchain. These technologies either use &#8216;shared security&#8217; benefitting from Ethereum&#8217;s many nodes or use their node infrastructure, as in the case of Polygon, to validate transactions. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-defi-adoption"><strong>DeFi Adoption</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you don&#8217;t already know, institutions worldwide are entering the DeFi world and adopting decentralised protocols because of their many benefits. According to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/whats-store-defi-2021-analysis-144823282.html#:~:text=almost%252020X%2520growth%2520over%252011%2520months" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yahoo Finance</a>, the decentralised finance industry has grown by 20 times in only 11 months. Total Value Locked has multiplied by eight times since early 2020 to over $80bn today, according to <a href="https://defipulse.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">DeFi Pulse</a>. It has attracted tens of millions of individual users across the globe as well as leading financial organisations. As of the first quarter of 2021, multiple world-famous companies such as Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Citigroup, HSBC, Barclays, JP Morgan, SBI Holdings, Signature Bank, and more are working on blockchain-related projects. Meanwhile, VISA is using the Ethereum blockchain to settle transactions in the USDC Stablecoin. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Private organisations and some government institutes are also adopting digital currencies and blockchain technology because of the opportunities they bring to the table. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Twenty-three international and government bodies, including the European Central Bank, Japan, Singapore, France, and Australia, have already launched their pilot projects. The European Investment Bank used the Ethereum Blockchain to issue bonds. </li>
<li>The government of 13 countries across the globe, including Hong Kong, China, and Brazil, are in the middle of development. </li>
<li>The government of 24 countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, are performing research work actively for Central Bank Digital Currencies. </li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While governments might opt to use their own Blockchain technology instead of relying on Ethereum, the broader message is that the technology is being adopted. The rising tide could lift all boats even further.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-corporates-allocating-reserve-funds-in-ethereum"><strong>Corporates Allocating Reserve Funds in Ethereum</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ethereum has also started appearing on the balance sheets of many companies, just like Bitcoin. Other than corporate reserves, companies are also using Ethereum cryptocurrency as their working capital. Earlier this year, the CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) Group launched ETH Futures, which offers tools to mitigate the risk of volatility for institutional traders. Besides that, a social media and software application, Meitu, also listed on Hong Kong&#8217;s stock exchange, disclosed that it had purchased about $22 million worth of Ether coins. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Some companies have also integrated Ether-based apps, which only shows the emergence of the platform. Ethereum continues to impact tractional businesses and organisations. The appearance of Ether on the balance sheets of companies will increase as more and more companies have started using decentralised applications. The many teams and developers working on Ethereum continuously add improvements to the cryptocurrency to facilitate digital processes. It&#8217;ll eventually add another layer to Ethereum&#8217;s value proposition.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In simple words, Ethereum has become a technology play as well as a store of value. These are some of the main reasons institutional investors are becoming increasingly interested in this decentralised platform.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-eth-as-a-legal-tender"><strong>ETH as a Legal Tender</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The adoption of the most popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, in Central America, is rising. Panama has introduced a bill to legalise Ethereum and Bitcoin, and there are about 111 different states in the world where the law recognises Ethereum. For example, a <a href="https://news.bitcoin.com/chinese-court-ethereum-legal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chinese court has declared</a> Ethereum as legal property by saying that it has an economic value. El Salvador has recently introduced Bitcoin as a legal tender, although the price of both Ethereum and Bitcoin plunged dramatically on the same day of the announcement. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-eth-price-prediction"><strong>ETH price prediction</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://medium.com/coinrule/crypto-predictions-where-bitcoin-price-is-heading-to-bfa6d0f53a17?source=your_stories_page-------------------------------------">Predicting the future price of a cryptocurrency is always tricky.</a> Ethereum price growth over the years has been following the increase in the activity of the network closely. You can gauge the activity in terms of transactions and active addresses.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" class="wp-image-1886" src="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses-1024x576.png" alt="Ethereum number of transactions vs Price" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses-1024x576.png 1024w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses-300x169.png 300w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses-768x432.png 768w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses-1536x864.png 1536w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-active-addresses.png 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In particular, a very similar rate of growth applies both to active addresses and the ETH price.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" class="wp-image-1887" src="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses-1024x576.png" alt="number of Ethereum addresses vs price" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses-1024x576.png 1024w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses-300x169.png 300w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses-768x432.png 768w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses-1536x864.png 1536w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/glassnode-studio_ethereum-number-of-addresses.png 1800w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once you identify one of the main drivers for price growth, it becomes easier to predict the price in 2030. The following chart shows two scenarios.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first assumes a slowing growth over the years. Active addresses have grown by 50% every year since 2018. The conservative Ethereum price prediction assumes that the growth slows by 25% every year until 2030. That places the price of Ethereum somewhere around <strong>$20,000.</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the other hand, a more optimistic Ethereum price prediction would assume a growth more in line with the adoption rate of the Internet between 2000 and 2010. The calculation assumes a growth of 50% until 2025 and 30% until 2030. That would place the price north of <strong>$50,000.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="960" height="540" class="wp-image-1888" src="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/eth-prediction.png" alt="prediction based on activity growth" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/eth-prediction.png 960w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/eth-prediction-300x169.png 300w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/eth-prediction-768x432.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As you can see, the Ethereum Blockchain has unprecedented potential. These are not even the most bullish price predictions for Ethereum. <a href="https://www.finder.com/uk/ethereum-eth-price-prediction" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Forty-two senior experts and cryptocurrency specialists</a> estimated that the price of Ethereum could reach a staggering $71,000 by the end of 2030. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Whatever the price of Ethereum will be in 2030, investing in Ethereum and in cryptocurrencies in general still represent an exciting opportunity with asymmetrical risk like no other assets. The potentials return still more than compensates for the volatility and the downside risk.  </p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span data-mce-type="bookmark" style="display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;" class="mce_SELRES_start">﻿</span>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cryptocurrencies and Blockchain promise a new digital and decentralized paradigm for the global economy and our daily lives. While adoption improves every year at increasingly growing rates, Crypto still relies heavily on the existence of efficient gateways with Fiat currencies. Whether you are a seasoned crypto trader, or you are approaching the space for the first time, you will need to fund once in a while your crypto wallet with fresh capital. Then the common question is: <strong><em>what is</em> <em>the cheapest way to buy Crypto with Fiat currencies?</em></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When looking to convert Fiat to Crypto, it is always essential to get the most out of your money, and this can be difficult because most exchanges do charge a hefty transaction fee. Choosing the best option to fund your Crypto wallet consists of finding the perfect balance between the convenience of the cost of the transaction and the supported funding method. The most common ways to fund a crypto wallet are payment cards (credit or debit) or bank transfers.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-beware-of-hidden-fees">Beware of Hidden Fees.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Arguably, Coinbase is the most well-known crypto company. When assessing the cheapest way to buy Crypto with Fiat, it certainly is on top of the list of possibilities for a vast portion of investors and traders. Coinbase represents a secure and user-friendly Fiat-to-Crypto gateway. They offer very convenient options for funding the account using bank transfers.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Coinbase&#8217;s reputation, however, translates into a premium price of which users are often not aware. <a href="https://help.coinbase.com/en/coinbase/trading-and-funding/pricing-and-fees/fees">Coinbase&#8217;s price structure</a> is indeed not as <em>user-friendly</em> as its interface.</strong> You can buy Bitcoin with Euro in just a few clicks yet at a relatively high cost. In the following example, I simulated a buy order for €10.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Coinbase applies minimum fixed fees on orders, in this case, €0.99 (equal to about 10% of the order). On top of that, the price at which I would buy Bitcoin is €8,031, which is 0.51% higher than the market price on Coinbase Pro or Kraken (around €7,990).</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="358" height="480" src="https://coinrule.io/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-13.35.25-1.png" alt="buy crypto with fiat on Coinbase" class="wp-image-1415" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-13.35.25-1.png 358w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-13.35.25-1-224x300.png 224w" sizes="(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px" /><figcaption>buy crypto with Fiat on Coinbase</figcaption></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Increasing the size of the order only slightly smoothes the cost of the transaction. If you purchase $50 worth of BTC, Coinbase charges you $2.51 in transaction fees, approximately 5.02%. Not taking into account the mark-up applied to the price, which increases the overall cost further.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you use Coinbase, it&#8217;s much cheaper to buy crypto on Coinbase Pro. You log in with the same credential buy you have access to much better prices. You trade directly with other traders so you can get the real market price for your coins. If you want to buy immediately select &#8220;market&#8221; as price parameter and the amount you want to buy. Here is an example of how it would look on the trading interface of Coinbase Pro.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="567" height="551" src="https://coinrule.io/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-22.44.17.png" alt="buy order on Coinbase Pro" class="wp-image-1440" srcset="https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-22.44.17.png 567w, https://coinrule.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Screenshot-2020-07-16-at-22.44.17-300x292.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px" /><figcaption>Buy Order on Coinbase Pro</figcaption></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The main difference here is that in the first example Coinbase sells you the coin, in the second, you trade on the exchange with other traders as counterparties. That gives you the possibility of saving a significant amount of money. Other popular options are Kraken and Bitpanda Pro.<br><br><strong><a href="https://medium.com/coinrule/coinbase-announced-a-new-raise-in-fees-what-are-the-alternatives-c8b5322c7e60?source=friends_link&amp;sk=06947e8201694dd4b9466fcebbc89403">What are the best alternatives to Coinbase?</a></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While claiming to be a global company, Coinbase currently covers mostly Europe, North America, Singapore and Australia. That excludes some of the geographical areas that have the highest levels of crypto adoptions. Investors in emerging markets, especially Latin America and Asia, struggle daily with finding the most efficient and cheapest way to buy Crypto with Fiat.&nbsp;<br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-not-all-fiat-currencies-are-equal">Not All Fiat Currencies Are Equal.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Binance is trying to solve this, regularly adding new currencies as funding options for their wallets. <strong>Binance is likely the global exchange that covers the largest number of fiat currencies supported.</strong> In some cases, Binance allows topping up the accounts using bank transfers directly, but most of the time, the gateway Fiat-to-Crypto works via payment cards, debit or credit.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Funding your wallet via card payments allows the funds to be credited in real-time so that the exchange can settle the purchase of the coins immediately. The main limitation for bank transfers is the processing time, where a transfer can take up to three working days to go through. On the other hand, SEPA transfers within the Euro Area don&#8217;t carry any additional cost. The exchange will credit the same amount of funds you deposited. Only in the US, when using a Wire Transfer, the deposit is subject to a fee, usually around 0.05% of the amount.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nevertheless, especially if you wish to buy Crypto most quickly, card payment is the optimal solution. Of course, that doesn&#8217;t come cheap. Processing the payment can be expensive as it involves many intermediaries. On some exchanges, the transaction fees can rise up to 6%. So make sure you can assess the transaction fee before confirming the payment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For investors looking for seamless user-experience and the possibility of buying Crypto in just a few clicks. <a href="https://brave.com/">Brave Browser</a> has gone above and beyond to provide convenience in the purchase of Crypto. <strong>In partnership with Binance, the company launched a new way to buy Crypto directly on the Brave Browser.</strong> All you need to do is connect your Binance account and then create buy orders easily by selecting the type of coin you want to purchase. Then you can set the quantity to buy, and the coins will be added to your wallet almost straight away.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-do-you-really-own-the-crypto-you-bought">Do you really own the Crypto you bought?</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Centralized exchanges run on the servers of a private entity. While the coins you trade rely on decentralized technology, you interact with your assets through an intermediary, the exchange.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This brings us to one of the most common phrases used in the world of Crypto: <strong>&#8220;Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto&#8221;</strong> by Andreas Antonopoulos. The quote is suggesting that if you are not storing your private keys, then you don&#8217;t have any guaranteed ownership of your coins. The exchange stores all your data, including your Private and Public Key. In other words, if hackers gain access to these keys, they can steal your funds! <br>Nowadays, global Crypto exchanges have advanced security measures in place to prevent malicious attacks. Even in the unlikely event of a hack often they set up insurances to protect users from losses. For instance, <a href="https://academy.binance.com/cs/glossary/secure-asset-fund-for-users">Binance&#8217;s insurance fund</a> is so well-known in the crypto industry that its acronym (SAFU) inspired countless memes.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other than hacking, other cases may lead to a situation where you lose access to your funds. What if the exchange goes bankrupt or regulators freeze the exchanges&#8217; account?&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-buy-crypto-directly-into-your-own-wallet">Buy Crypto Directly Into Your OWN Wallet.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assuming you are not willing to trade all your coins frequently and security is a top priority for you, buying Crypto and receiving the coins directly into a decentralized wallet may be the best option for your needs. <strong>Providers like <a href="https://changelly.com/">Changelly</a> rely on a peer-to-peer protocol that sends the coins directly to your wallet, once the payment is complete.&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Changelly has partnered up with third-party service providers to process your payments. Before confirming the transaction, you have the opportunity of reviewing the option you prefer based on transaction fees and price offered. In this case, you are the sole owner of your private keys. Therefore, you are your own bank.&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another popular alternative if you want to avoid centralized entities and you are not comfortable with KYC, which stands for Know-Your-Customer, is to buy Crypto on a peer-to-peer marketplace. <strong>Regulations worldwide are becoming increasingly restrictive. </strong>Each company managing money on behalf of users needs to collect data to track where the funds come from. When companies operate on a global scale, they must abide by the local regulations in each market they work in. However, when using peer-to-peer applications, you don&#8217;t require a KYC as the transaction happens between single users.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The best platform that offers this service is <a href="https://coinrule.com/">Coinrule</a>, via <a href="https://www.moonpay.com">Moonpay</a>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-aspects-to-consider">Key Aspects To Consider.</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When assessing which is the cheapest way to buy Crypto with Fiat for your needs, there are four main aspects to keep an eye on before confirming the transaction.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-funding-method"><strong>Funding method</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Bank transfers are much cheaper than card payments, yet they are slower. In some cases, you don&#8217;t have the rush to fund your wallet; in other instances, you may be willing to pay a premium price for a faster transaction. Moreover, depending on your location, card payment could be the only viable option to pay with your local currency.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-price-offered"><strong>Price offered</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pay attention to the price of the asset displayed at the moment of the purchase. When buying directly from an Exchange, such as Coinbase, the platform adds a markup to the price displayed. This price adjustment increases the overall cost of the purchase. The best way to avoid that is to use the trading platform, i.e. Coinbase Pro, where you place your order versus other traders on the same exchange. Only in this way, you will be able to get the real market price for the coin and guarantee the execution at the best rate.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-security"><strong>Security</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Centralized exchanges store your coins on your behalf. This is the best option if you are going to trade your coins often. Yet, in this case, you need to pay great attention to the level of security that the exchange can guarantee. Reputation is a critical asset in the crypto industry. The alternative for HODLers is to use a decentralized wallet and protect their private keys with methods that fit their own needs.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-kyc-and-id-verification"><strong>KYC and ID-verification</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of the Fiat-to-Crypto gateways nowadays require passing KYC processes and providing your ID for personal identification. If you are not willing to share personal and fiscal private data, peer-to-peer marketplaces are the perfect venues to conduct your transactions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>All roads lead to the same place, while some are more efficient and secure, others are more convenient. It&#8217;s always appropriate to assess carefully which of these ways of buying Crypto fit your need to avoid unnecessary hurdles and costs.</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The year that just ended turned out to be very <strong>tumultuous</strong> for all those that invested in cryptocurrencies as most of the assets experienced losses between 80 to 95% from their all-time highs.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That was a harsh lesson for newbie investors looking for easy gains, forcing a high number of them to leave the market as they were not able to carry any further losses. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">However, what happened to the cryptocurrencies’ parabolic <strong>rise and fall </strong>in 2018 is no different to what many other assets in financial markets previously experienced: a rapid price appreciation, inflating a bubble, which when it bursts, has effects on all the companies involved.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In times of price depression, great <strong>opportunities arise</strong> for those that can select those projects with better potential and more solid value proposition. What follows is my selection of cryptocurrency tokens and coins that I see to have the potentials to be very successful in 2019.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Binance Coin (BNB)</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*zUQgXP3ZMdltQ2tmxMO8HQ.png" alt="Cryptocurrency trading tools made simple"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Binance is unquestionably the number one crypto exchange in the World according to many metrics. Apart from recording the highest traded volume (30 days volume according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">Coinmarketcap</a>), <a href="https://www.binance.com/">Binance</a> is positioned as one of the most innovative and transparent ventures in the crypto-space. Their goal is not only to act as an exchange for tokens and coins but to become a real catalyst for the development of the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry and work for its global adoption.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The creation of Binance Labs designed to fund and support new startups, Binance Academy promoting an in-depth knowledge of Blockchain technology, <a href="https://www.binance.com/">Binance</a> Research providing high-quality analysis and reports and Binance Charity Foundation are all side-projects but will contribute to a significant strategic advantage against competitors as wider <strong>adoption </strong>of cryptocurrencies continues.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Catalyst</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In early 2019, Binance will be the first “centralized” exchange to switch its operation to a fully decentralized system, featuring high-performance trade execution made possible by a 1-second transaction confirmation time. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <strong>BNB</strong> token has played a central part in the success of the company (incentivizing competitions and encouraging the holding of the tokens to obtain discounts on transaction fees) with a very solid <strong>tokenomics</strong> and it will soon play an even more relevant role in the operations of the exchange.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Chainlink (LINK)</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*SuFhDE8grnx7MfjdlEfjiw.png" alt="Coinrule makes cryptocurrency trading tools"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the biggest challenges for Cryptocurrencies and, in general for Blockchain technology, is the lack of everyday application in real-world use cases and the currently minimal connection between the “real” and the “crypto” world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Among the projects most likely to solve this soon is <a href="https://chain.link/">Chainlink</a>, which is a “smart-contract oracle” for decentralized applications. An oracle is a data validator that checks whether data entered into a Blockchain is correct. Blockchains alone can only validate data that is already “on-chain”, meaning events that have happened on the Blockchain. This is, in turn, a significant drag on the implementation of new features and developments linking Blockchains to real-world use cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Simply put, the value proposition of many smart contracts based Blockchains is to radically improve the efficiency in establishing agreements between two or more companies thanks to the tamper-proof nature of Blockchains. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In reality, this currently often fails because companies operate in the “real world” and most agreements involve ‘off-chain’ data such as money transfers (e.g., through the <strong>SEPA</strong> system), product production data, deliveries of physical goods, inflation data, and so on. In contrast to ‘on-chain’ data, such ‘off-chain’ data is not tamper-proof and could be manipulated, thus undermining Blockchain’s central value proposition. To address this, Blockchains need some sort of third-party data feed (the oracle) to import external data and trigger smart contract executions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Chainlink allows decentralized applications, also known as <strong>dApps</strong>, to interact with “real-world” data and run transactions through third-party APIs. Chainlink solves the problem thanks to API connections to all the data with which decentralized applications interact via the Chainlink Smart Contracts, finally opening the possibility of developing hybrid systems of Blockchain-based architectures actively interacting with events happening in the “real world”. But there is even more to add on the potential of Chainlink.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The project aims not only to connect Blockchains to the real world but it will also provide an interoperability solution for the crypto world, ‘linking’ different blockchains to each other that otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be able to interact with one another. To give an example, just imagine the benefits for all of the crypto industry if the Ethereum and Bitcoin chains could exchange data with one another in a safe, secure and decentralized way.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Catalyst</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Chainlink mainnet was expected to be launched in late 2018, and a big announcement is expected soon about the new launch date. When this big step is undertaken, it will provide additional value and will attract more investors. To be noted, the price of the token posted a tremendous performance in the recent months, marking new all-time highs in BTC terms, something that is not easy to be found during a <strong>Bear Market</strong>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, the company has a long history of establishing partnerships with solid API providers and very likely, this trend will continue to increase the number of possible future use cases.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Waves</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*op9298WDqYigvzMGCgJ-0g.png" alt="Coinrule makes cryptocurrency trading tools"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another broad critique for Cryptocurrencies in 2018 has been the shortage of progress delivered by development teams. On the other hand, the Waves team raised $16 mln in 2016 (long before the 2017 Great<strong> ICO-Hype</strong>) and successfully delivered a fully working a decentralized exchange in 2017&nbsp;<em>and</em>&nbsp;kept adding features since then.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Other than a DEX with multiple crypto and FIAT gateways, Waves is a fast and scalable Blockchain allowing cheap transactions, permitting a smooth deployment of personalized tokens in a matter of minutes, an efficient staking system based on hundreds of Nodes and tens of Pools, Multi-sig wallets and recently introduced Smart Accounts and Smart Assets onto its Mainnet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Especially the activation of Smart Assets is significant as they feature scripts that will make asset freezing possible, allow whitelisting/blacklisting specific addresses to implement controls and restrictions to the asset transfers, taxation and controlling asset pairs so that tokens will be traded only against selected currencies. While a lot of this goes against the core ethos of decentralized and censorship-resistant public blockchains, Waves positioning is aimed at Business use-cases that require full and out-of-the-box regulatory compliance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Waves positions itself as a comprehensive crypto-ecosystem backed by a structured and skilled company behind it. Everything in <a href="https://wavesplatform.com/">Waves</a> is manageable through a Desktop App, Online Client, Mobile App, and a Chrome Extension, demonstrating a focus on user experience design that is rare in the current cryptocurrency world.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Catalyst</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Waves team announced the launch of Tokenomica, a platform aiming to radically simplify the issuing of Security Tokens. This has been a “hot topic” lately and will be more and more important as players such as private companies, institutions and investments funds will finally have the tools they need to move to a real tokenization of their assets. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first important implication will be the opportunity of running a global Regulated Token Offer complying with local regulations and being able to apply all the necessary restrictions required to the asset. This will likely not only be a significant milestone for the Waves Roadmap but for the broad crypto ecosystem in general.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, Waves has secured a $120 mln funding round for the development of Vostok. Vostok will allow the creation of private permission-based Blockchains based on the fast and reliable Waves-NG protocol and will represent the perfect enterprise-oriented tool enabling companies to fully benefit from the security and privacy of Blockchain technology. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the developing team, this new development will mark a significant step towards WEB 3.0, where new internet-based technologies will shape and enhance new forms of Businesses.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Enigma (ENG)</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*nVKgHKGnYVdXppiVC8yUVw.png" alt="Coinrule makes cryptocurrency trading tools"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Privacy has been a central theme since the beginning of the Blockchain Era. Nonetheless, few are the projects that can truly provide a real degree of secrecy for transactions. Leading “privacy” focused projects such as Monero, Zcash and Dash are still focused solely on transactions, meaning that their use-cases are limited.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the main projects whose aim is to add a high degree of privacy to more complex computations (Smart Contracts) is Enigma. The development team claims to be “building Enigma to be the privacy layer for the decentralized Web”. More than ever in times like these, this looks like something that is an urgent need. The first more obvious application will be the deployment of agreements between parties combining the tamper-proof nature of Smart Contracts and the privacy protection offered by the Enigma protocol.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Furthermore, Big Data companies analyze an enormous amount of information every second and most of that data could be considered very “sensible” and worth to be protected with a substantial degree of privacy. Some Business-cases should be required to add this privacy layer to their operations, namely companies dealing with pharmaceuticals and genomics, personal data, credit or more generally the Internet of Things.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When Enigma fully deploys their Secret Smart Contract, decentralized applications will be enabled to handle sensitive data significantly reducing the risk of exposing sensitive data to nonauthorized parties. The full potential of this tool will be released in combination with Enigma’s Data Marketplace, which is already live and functional, where that data will be exchanged without risk of compromising its privacy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Catalyst</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The development team stated that the delay in the deployment of the next Milestone on the Roadmap, Discovery, was caused by the fact that the partners were not ready to act as active nodes. The choice was made to prioritize long-term growth over short-term risks. This release is basically the MVP of Secret Contracts and will mark the full integration of Enigma with the Ethereum Mainnet. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For sure this will be a game changer and will prove the real potential of the project. Additionally, another major stimulus could come from the partnership side. The company relies a lot on stable and reliable partners (the most notable being Intel) and new partners are expected to be added in the coming months.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>HOLOChain (HOLO)</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*1E16RjE2HzIcXUU3pY2ROw.png" alt="Coinrule makes cryptocurrency trading tools"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Holochain is one of those projects that are so visionary that it is almost impossible to describe them without forgetting to cite some (even crucial) aspect of their essence. We can summarize Holochain as a computing system that enables developers to build any kind of application without requiring any centralized organization. Those applications will run across a peer-to-peer network, whose nodes will be a wide range of devices, including any modern smartphone.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is important to note that Holochain is&nbsp;<em>not based on&nbsp;</em>Blockchain technology but is much more aligned with traditional peer-to-peer networks such as Tor. Unlike Blockchains which depend on finding a consensus between all nodes on the status of a ledger, Holochain is focused on finding a consensus on the infrastructure and&nbsp;<em>DNA&nbsp;</em>of any given application and then allows users to build this application based on that consensus. As such, Holochain is not data-centric but user-centric, taking a (decentralized) applications-first approach to the problem of ever greater centralization of the internet.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the main differences between Holochain and any other crypto-related project lies in the philosophy that stands as its bedrock. Holochain defines itself as a “distributed” network more so than as a “decentralized” protocol for dApps such as Ethereum. While the difference may appear to be small, it is one of the main pillars of the project.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Distributing the computational power across many nodes and letting them act as independent players in the system, Holochain aims to solve the scalability problems that affect Blockchain-based protocols. Just like in old-school peer-to-peer networks, the more applications will be developed on Holochain, the more nodes will have an incentive to participate, and the more computational power will be added to the network, making it faster and more secure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Another significant difference that distinguishes Holochain from other Blockchain projects is the rejection of consensus mechanisms such as Proof-of-Work or Proof-of-Stake in favor of a de-facto Proof-of-Service approach in which those users that complete tasks for other users get rewarded in Holo Fuel. Around this new “money”, the project expects to build a whole new value-oriented ecosystem and community.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>The Catalyst</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once again, just like for other projects, the launch of the Mainnet will mark a crucial moment for Holochain’s development. However, probably more than for other projects, this will also represent an opportunity to demonstrate that the great idea that inspired the Holochain founding team is technically feasible. Perhaps this will come later this year, but in the meantime, the development team is expected to deliver other important milestones. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One of the most important among them is the delivery of the first HoloPorts, specific pre-configured devices that will offer storage and processing power needed by the applications running on the network and which will grant Holo Fuel rewards to their owners. Some of the first applications that will be run will be HoloVault, HoloChat, Fractal Wiki and Errand which will help to grow the already vast and very active Holo Community.</p>
