The report was made by CryptoCompare, which used Aggregate Pricing Index for large parts of the research.

The Report

Their analysis starts off by listing some of the most important events and news regarding major cryptocurrency exchanges in October. These are the events that have captured the attention of crypto traders and investors. As such, it is expected that they have had a significant impact on certain exchanges’ data

After that, the report compares volumes of different exchanges — centralized and decentralized. One interesting discovery states that total spot volumes make up less than three-quarters of the total market volume.

Within these spot volumes, exchanges that have taker fees represent around 90% of the volumes, while those with transaction fees represent only 10%. In addition to that, it is stated that exchanges that pair cryptos with fiat currencies are creating nearly a quarter of all spot market volumes.

The report also takes decentralized exchanges into an account. It stated that an average daily trading volume for the top five decentralized exchanges is near $2.4 million, which is only 0.4% of total exchange volume.

When it comes to exchanging bitcoin for fiat currencies, the report concludes that around half of all fiat trading includes exchanging BTC for USD. In addition to that, around 21% of trading exchanges BTC for JPY, and 16% of trades are exchanging BTC for KRW.

Unsurprisingly, the highest daily trading volume (~$1.4 billion) comes from Malta-based exchanges, followed by those from South Korea, Hong Kong, and other crypto-friendly countries. OKEx and Binance are the dominating Maltese exchanges, while Upbit and Bithumb are the busiest exchanges of South Korea.

After making these conclusions regarding the trading volume data, the report noticed that CoinBene and IDAX have much fewer visitors per day when compared to other exchanges of their size. Binance is the most popular exchange, with highest visitor count, but also highest trading volumes. On the other hand, exchanges like Coinbase, Bittrex, and Cex.io appear to have more visitors per day than other exchanges that have similar volumes.

In addition, it was concluded that exchanges like Bitstamp, ItBit, and Kraken, have more stability than others. Finally, the report touches upon the security of various exchanges, and it states that only 86% of the top 100 cryptocurrency exchanges have a terms & conditions page as well as public privacy policy.

Cold wallets are used by only one-third of top exchanges, while 11% of top 100 have fallen victims to hacking attacks. Finally, the report concludes that less than half of top exchanges have strict KYC requirements, and over one-quarter of them have no such requirements at all.

IMMLA: Multimodal Transportation ‘UBER’ to Raise $500k in Crowdsale

IMMLA’s mission is to provide multimodal deliveries service with decentralized control system of transportation, document flow and payments.


Its authors say, that new technology allows dramatically reduce trust deficit, information barriers and legal costs. This is to be achieved due to interaction of cargo owner and the transporter through IMMLA working on the base of Etherium blockchain and smart contracts. It will allow monitoring of cargo damage, time of delivery, cargo location, selection of suitable delivery route and other cool parameters.

IMMLA is founded by consortium of logistics and IT leaders. It includes such names as Formag Fowarding (subsidiary of Global Transport Investment), experts of a leading logistics services giant Hellman Worldwide Logistics and SBSolutions.  The software solution will be based on the logistics industry leading ERP solution Logismart.

1-2% market share in 5 years

IMMLA is planning to launch real third party transportations using smart-contracts based on Ethereum blockchain as early as in the first quarter of 2018. According to the White Paper, in 2019-2020 IMMLA service will be offered on the CIS market. In 2021, it is to enter the markets of Western Europe and China. Thus, 5 years after the launch of the IMMLA product is estimated to occupy 1-2% of the world’s freight forwarding market.

“International freight forwarding market is annually estimated at approximately 200 million teu’s (twenty-foot equivalent unit). Thus, the goal of 1-2% market share 5 years after the full-scale launch, constitutes roughly 3 million teu’s (to date, it is an approximate volume provided by the DHL company). Our estimations show that high quality service for around 8000 multimodal international transportations daily, including all the possible deviations from an ideal process, will be the minimum performance level that we will be able to provide over this time horizon”.

-Mikhail Astakhov, the founder of the IMMLA consortium

Based on working product

Logismart, the basis of IMMLA service, functions in several dozen multinational logistic corporations. IMMLA’s team affirms that the product serves and supports tens of thousands transported TEU-s in terms of both legal issues and document workflow. However, IMMLA claims to be new service inheriting only logic from its predecessor.

“Initially a client puts into the service the information about the necessity to deliver a specific cargo from one place to another at a specific time. Further, the platform through the use of statistical and forecast data provides the client with a price point for such service and an approximate delivery plan. If the client is satisfied with the basic conditions of the offer, then he places an order for a proposal formation”.

-Mikhail Astakhov

The system, in turn, allocates the basic scheme of transportation among the registered participants, whose advertised and/or statistical profile allows them to take part in such transportation process. It also takes into account alternative delivery plans where it is possible to improve the price and/or time parameters.

ICO

IMMLA plans to raise during the first round ICO around $500,000 (http://immla.io/pre-ico). The first round begins at 00.00 UTC+3, the 15th July 2017 and finishes on the 30th July 2017. Full-fledged ICO will be held on September 2017 and can bring $12,1 million into the project.

The base currency of IMMLA’s Pre-ICO is ETH. During the pre-ICO campaign IML token price is 0,000192 ЕТН, during the ICO this price will grow up to 0,000275 ЕТН. So early birds bonus is 43%. Pre-ICO is successful if more than 577 ЕТН (~$150К) collected, otherwise all funds are transferred to pre-lCO participants.
