One of most potentially trans-formative use-cases for block-chain technology is the ability to create new crypto assets. Such assets are increasingly becoming an alternative to traditional capital markets because they enable new models of
participation, are border-less, can be traded around the clock, are subject to much less regulation, and are easy to create. The past few years have shown a dramatic increase in trading volume, market capitalization, and the number of projects using
crypto tokens.
Blockchain technology presents a real challenge and requires a steep learning curve even for experienced block-chain users, let alone from newcomers. Today, many blockchain-based applications are difficult to use. Interacting, managing and
investing in crypto assets should be easy and intuitive. Currently, the lack of proper tools create barriers to entry that limit mainstream adoption.
CoinDash is an operating system for crypto assets, Making handling and trading easy and accessible.
CoinDash’s ecosystem includes three synergistic components:
SaaS
Intelligent tools, like interactive portfolios, are essential to managing crypto assets. CoinDash’s analytics give users deep insight into the performance of their investments and help them make data driven decisions.
Social Network
Social interactions are a key part of the crypto world. Projects rise and fall by their community and the network they create. CoinDash’s social trading features remove barriers for new and existing crypto users by letting them follow and copy-trade top investors.
CoinDash’s marketplace is built around opportunity discovery and streamlined trading UX with features like real-time social trading signals, an ICO dashboard, trending assets, real-time market price tables and 3rd party integration.

Market Analysis
Crypto asset investment and speculation is a rapidly growing market. In 2016, trade volume increased by more than 150%
[1] at the same time that the overall market capitalization of crypto assets
[2] grew tremendously.
While bitcoin represents a large portion of the total market, the value of other crypto assets is significant and on the rise. In recent years bitcoin dropped from 95% of the market capitalization to as low as 75%. All signs indicate that this trend will continue and we will likely see other non-Bitcoin tokens increase their market capitalizations.
Crypto assets are an attractive investment opportunity for a number of reasons:
Borderless 24/7 trading -
While other markets have set trading hours, crypto assets are traded around the clock, from places all around the world.
Little trading friction -
Traditional assets are heavily controlled. Regulations govern asset issuance and exchange, creating enormous barriers to entry for the investor and entrepreneur alike. The result is a closed garden that disproportionately benefits existing institutions and puts retail investors at a disadvantage. Even accountants charged with overseeing them can be corrupted. Crypto assets on the blockchain offers built-in transparency, are currently less regulated, and issuing and trading are more inclusive and open to anyone. This creates an incredibly competitive market, lower costs and more opportunities for superior returns. How they will be regulated in the future is unclear, but at the moment, there is little friction and the features of blockchain technology suggest that regulation, when it comes, could be lighter than that on traditional capital markets.
Easy to issue new assets -
With a few lines of code anyone can issue their own crypto asset and offer it to the world
CoinDash Token :
Every feature in the CoinDash platform that gives any financial value to its user will require them to pay a fee. Every user who facilitates the use of a feature which in turn gives financial value will be entitled to a payment.
This creates a creator-consumer relationship between users in the system; users can be creators and consumers at the same time.
CoinDash will launch a token which will be used to pay all fees on the platform. This creates a direct correlation between the success of the platform and the value of the token. The more people who use the platform, the more fees will be paid, the more tokens will be bought--ultimately pushing the price of the token up.
Initial-Coin-Offering (ICO): a new funding paradigm :
Venture capital (VC) saw its biggest rise during the 1960s and 1970s when VC funds started focusing on fast growing companies. Those companies were concentrated in the tech sector and promised to lead breakthroughs in electronics, medicine and data processing.
As a result, venture capital became synonymous with technology finance, evolving with the needs of the companies and enabling them to grow at astounding rates. One can argue that VCs played a crucial role in the technology revolution.
In the blockchain era, traditional venture capitalists are taking a backseat to ICOs.
ICOs enable new blockchain start ups to raise seed money by issuing crypto tokens that represent an underlying asset. One such case is the Ethereum blockchain ICO which raised more than $15 million in 2014. ICOs are a new funding model for start ups that is playing an important role in the blockchain industry, the same way VCs played a major role in the technology revolution.
