Bitshares - State of the Network - 20th December 2017
The Bitshares State of the Network Reports seeks to combine raw data from a wide range of metrics and combine them into meaningful information to identify emerging trends and changes in the Bitshares network.
Observation from this week
This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.
Massive week for Smartcoin market this week with huge increases to the circulating supply on a number of stablecoins. Overall Smartcoin markets have seen a 158% jump with a total USD value of 79 Million compared to 30 Million last week. BitCNY has seen an increase of 181% followed by Ruble with 144% and BitUSD with 113% growth W/W. All other smartcoin’s seen good growth and is best visualized in the ‘Smartcoin issuance chart’ below this section. An growing smartcoin ecosystem is an incredible good sign for the health of the Bitshares platform but this week has blown me away with its explosive move higher as Chinese exchanges look to serve citizens restricted by Chinas cryptocurrency/exchange laws which prevent the trade of fiat CNY to cryptocurrencies.
BigOne and KKCoin have both added BitCNY as a base pair against major markets this week. This is no doubt a trend that is being seen as Chinese exchanges look to server their customers with a stable base pair after the new Chinese regulations of Cryptocurrency exchanges. More information HERE
