XTRD REVIEW

INTRODUCTION
Cryptocurrencies have gained wide place acceptance, accumulating users who are owners of these crypto assets. These crypto assets are used as means of payment in business transactions and integrated into many everyday usages as an alternative to the existing sovereign currencies. However, following its emergence, there are about 120 independent cryptocurrency exchanges as at January 2018 expediting trading in 1000 separate countries. The daily trading is calculated well over 20billion USD for market volume with a total market cap of 700 billion USD.

These cryptocurrencies are traded against these sovereign currencies which are USD, GBP, JPY, CNY, and KRW amongst others which is a potential to grow to a 1-2 trillion USD market capitalization in 2018.
There is a steady upward surge in the demand for cryptocurrencies being observed by the asset managers in their portfolios where over 500 funds are prepared for entry into the crypto markets in 2018. Also, there are little or no regulations given or provided in the crypto market since the cryptocurrency market is still budding and large spreads are commonplace between exchanges on the same crypto pairs, permitting for an ample arbitrage chance.

There is a complex web of several exchanges given several means of funding, many KYC policies interfaces in a fragmented clutter for liquidity for the cryptocurrencies. This necessitates the need to open various accounts on different exchanges since trading is carried out in an automated fashion with the awareness of the prevailing prices. This will also lead to coding in different APIs demanding several types of findings and withdrawal processes. After all these are cleared and the participants must convert from fiat to BTC or ETH which might demand conversion to another exchange that doesn’t offer fiat.

Additionally, the fees paid for exchange commissions are expensive which becomes an issue for crypto space given the percentages charged which are supposed to be in the scope of 0.1– 0.25% range per transaction (10 to 25 basis points). Since there are no central regulations and authority the effective fees for exchange are much more expensive.

Taking note of the foregoing, XTRD is introducing a 3 distinguished products that are in consecutive stages to mitigate against issues coming from having so many separate markets that includes a low per market liquidity, regular unfamiliar interfaces that drags behind the financial industry benchmarks.
