We already wrote of how eToroX announced the launch of its crypto exchange – a secure and regulated trading venue offering a range of crypto assets as well as a suite of stablecoins.

Trading in six cryptocurrencies will be offered at launch: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), XRP, Litecoin (LTC) and Dash. Also available will be 37 crypto-to-fiat pairs, for example BTC/USD and XRP/GBP.

The firm is additionally issuing eToro-branded tokens pegged to eight fiat currencies, including the eToro United States dollar (USDEX), eToro Japanese yen (JPYX) and eToro Euro (EURX), with others available for pounds Sterling; Australian, Canadian and New Zealand dollars; and the Swiss franc.

The exchange will add more cryptocurrencies, stablecoins and tokens “in the coming weeks,” eToroX managing director Doron Rosenblum said, adding that the firm will also work with other cryptocurrency exchanges to “encourage” them to list its stablecoins.

Yoni Assia, co-founder and CEO of eToro, believes that tokenized assets represent the global financial future, and intends to expand secure access to them to the greater populace. She said exclusively for CoinSpeaker:

“One of the key obstacles that cryptoassets need to overcome for mainstream adoption is price stability. Stablecoins largely eliminate this hurdle, creating a more user-friendly way to interact with the blockchain.

In the coming weeks and months we will add more cryptoassets, stablecoins and tokens to the exchange and will work with other exchanges to encourage them to list our growing range of stablecoins.”

According to eToro, the company is backing the stablecoins one-to-one with futures contracts. eToro’s customer base is primarily in Europe and the Middle East and, like its competitor RobinHood, the app is especially popular with millennials as a stock-trading tool.

Arieh Levi, a senior analyst at research firm CB Insights said:

“It’s a pretty saturated market in terms of crypto trading. I’m not sure there will be too much demand as the existing players will likely stick to the platforms they already use.”

Doron Rosenblum, Managing Director of eToroX, also commented:

“We are proud to be one of the first companies in the world to obtain a license for cryptoassets, and one of only a handful of regulated exchanges in the crypto space.

In the coming weeks and months we will add more cryptoassets, stablecoins and tokens to the exchange and will work with other exchanges to encourage them to list our growing range of stablecoins.”

Last month, eToro also launched a trading platform and wallet service to 32 U.S. states and territories, enabling users to trade 13 cryptocurrencies. With the launch, U.S. customers with diverse levels of expertise can leverage eToro to collaborate with one another to find the best crypto asset trading strategies in an environment rich with unconventional educational tools.

It is true that tokenization helps open up markets and encourages diversification by facilitating fractional ownership and removing geographical boundaries.

A Prominent Place in the World of Finance for Dash

Yoni Assia added:

“In time, we will see the tokenization of all traditional asset classes, as well as the emergence of new asset classes such as tokenized art, property or even IP. Cryptoassets are just the first step on this journey and we are excited to explore the opportunities offered by tokenization with the launch of our exchange.”

The move into expanded access for digital tokens represents a growing global financial trend. According to a recent survey commissioned by eToro, millennials tend to favor cryptocurrencies over traditional assets.

Mati Greenspan, a Senior Market Analyst at eToro, tweeted:

A joint research paper conducted by eToro and Imperial College London predicted that cryptocurrencies will be mainstream for payments within a decade.

Finally, a market research report released by the platform indicated that Dash, one of the more prominent payments-focused coins, is “acutely undervalued” when compared to other cryptocurrencies.

This combination of findings leads to a strong inference that Dash has a prominent place in the future world of finance.

Status CommitETH: A Tool to Incentivize Community-Driven Development Projects

The development team behind Status, a leading decentralized mobile messaging browser for Ethereum, has created a tool to promote community-driven software development.

[Note: This is a press release]


Status announced the first alpha release of CommitETH in a recent press release describing the tool as a GitHub bounty bot that enables token holders to incentivize “pull request” submissions by securing ETH or any ERC20-compatible token to open issues in GitHub. CommitETH will aim to incentivize developer involvement while increasing token-holder control and offering a greater utility to app tokens.

Status CommitETH

CommitETH seeks to play a pivotal role in the evolution of governance protocols and decision-making processes of blockchain powered decentralized business models. Commit ETH will enable the holders of ETH and later ERC-20 tokens, to directly invest their holdings into the development of new features, the priority of bug fixes and the implementation of integrations with other decentralized applications.

CommitETH is a bot that scans for issues within any open source project, regardless of the type of blockchain used. Once the issue has been identified a multi-signature wallet is deployed to the specific network assigning CommitETH and the project maintainer as signatories.

Status Co-founder, Jarrad Hope, said:

For us, CommitETH is a path not only towards community driven development of Status itself, but also a way we can help foster the movement for open source in general – both of these things are really exciting for us. It’s also important to us that CommitETH becomes fully decentralized, and we’ll be working towards this in the coming months.

At present CommitETH only supports Ether but incoming implementational changes to support ERC 20 friendly tokens will allow holders the freedom of staking their preferred tokens to issues of any project they choose. Status CommitETH release represents for them the first step towards a decentralized organizational structure that will democratize further development models that will contribute to the evolution of Ethereum based platforms and DAPPS.
