With the blockchain network Mimblewimble's two new network protocols, Grin and Beam, enter our lives, and in 2019 will be the most private year in the currency circle. In the past few years, the anonymity that cryptocurrency users take for granted has been eroded by the blockchain's monitoring, but the counterattack has already begun. Of course, because the balance cannot be rebuilt by a single privacy protocol, there are now many privacy-focused toolkits coming online. In addition to the Mimblewimble coin, the Bitcoin core is expected to sign with Schnorr next year. To a certain extent, it is possible to open the door to privacy technologies such as Coinjoin. Until then, we will see many other platforms that support privacy, applications and protocols get attention. A privacy-focused BTC wallet, the Wasabi wallet, will attract new users, while Ethereum may get its own confidential transactions through the Aztec agreement. If Zkdai (ie zero-knowledge DAI transactions) can be implemented, the stable currency can also be private. Companies such as Dust and Loki that support privacy projects have also made progress, and new projects such as Resistance are already in use, a privacy coin and accompanying DEX.
In 2018, it is the year of the securities-type certificate we expected. Unfortunately, it seems that this design is expected to be extended to 2019. However, if there are enough applicants and the technical obstacles and regulatory obstacles are removed, This goal may be achieved. It is undisputed that in 2018, ICO was killed, and no one would make this crowdfunding application-based pass model rise again. The cost of ICO legality and compliance is higher and higher, currently averaging $1 million, and most ICOs have to pay these costs. Amazix's Principal Analyst, Jose Macedo, believes that STO will be the standard model for most cryptocurrency-based project deployments. Although the application-based tool pass is far from dead, the industry recognizes that a reasonable pass-through economy is seen in terms of long-term value gains. There are few and few modes. He explained: "Therefore, many projects ask us for help, whether it is launching STOs or reorganizing ICOs into STOs." Macedo went on to say: "We also saw that in the quality and legality of the license sales platform, bookkeeping documents (Market Pricing) Companies, exchanges, etc., more STO infrastructure needs to be built... As of now, the STO project we work with is worth about $1 billion and is scheduled to be launched in 2019." (Bookkeeping) : Securitization issuance method to achieve market pricing. Although the securities-based certification project will be carried out in proactive areas such as Malta and Gibraltar, the regulatory framework has been drafted, and the progress in the United States will be slower, and the financing opportunities there are very limited. The US Securities and Exchange Commission may think that most ICOs are issuing securities. US cryptography-based projects can get RegA+ approval to start STO, nowhere in sight. Although some projects (such as Gab) submitted documents a year ago. 04 Decentralized credit network will develop rapidly this year, and the decentralized credit network has made great progress in infrastructure construction. The tools necessary to promote mortgages, social credit and open finance are very sophisticated and proven. In 2019, they will expand in size and begin to serve the kind of users they envision – those who are ignored by the current financial system. With the development of projects such as Dharma Protocol, GEO Protocol, Nexo and MakerDAO, the crypto bond market and credit network will be supported, and Maker's multi-asset over-collateralization system will be emulated and proved to be robust through this year's extreme market volatility. Sex. As the number of pledged assets increases, so does the number of users. By 2019, Multi-collateraldai will be widely used. ETH is a hot spot in 2018, but by 2019, Maker will accept both encrypted and non-encrypted assets such as BTC and ERC20s.
019 may be the year in which one or more dapps are eventually adopted by the public, but don't expect too much. It is also possible that this year is the first year of viral development of blockchain games. At the very least, cryptocurrency collections and virtual reality projects will attract new investors to facilitate the trading of digital assets by binding non-homologous tokens (NFTs) to the public chain. Once the virtual world of Decentraland is launched in 2019, a collection of encryption games and projects will be established.
The Bitcoin cash community will continue to look for new ways to “pay and receive point-to-point cash.” The BTC team is optimistic that in 2019, the Lightning Network will eventually prove that it can buy anything other than on the exchange. Institutional investors' hosting services will improve, injecting new funds into the encryption space (but may not push encryption assets to new highs), Bakkt of the New York Stock Exchange will launch physical BTC futures contracts, which the US Securities and Exchange Commission may approve Bitcoin ETF.
