More than $5Billion raised on ICOs in Q1 2018. It's more than Y2016 and 2017 put together. Simultaneously Bitcoin and altcoins have lost more than 70% of their value since January 2018.
What's going on in Blockchain and Crypto markets?
Goldman Sachs bought Crypto Exchange Poloniex. Soros Fund Management owned by George Soros decided to start to trade Cryptos. Many countries are working intensively with major financial market players and biggest IT companies to find the way to regulate Cryptos... and much more happening behind the scenes.
There is no single IT or financial expert who will not believe in Blockchain. Digital assets i.e. Crypto Currencies have a crucial role in Blockchain technology. When will the Crypto markets change back from "the red sea into the green forest?" Will it happen right after the Consensus Blockchain technology summit, May 14-16 2018 or even sooner? Major investment funds, financial institutions governments' agencies, IT companies etc. from all over the world will participate in the event.
