2018 was a year where many involved in the cryptoasset space would like to forget. After the great bull run of 2017, cryptoasset prices could not maintain its
upward trajectory and had a major correction throughout the year. Prices for most cryptoassets fell anywhere between 70% to 95% from their All-Time-High.
As markets declined throughout the year, we saw many blockchain companies struggling financially and had to conduct a layoff. For instance, Bitmain had theignominy of laying off 1,500 staff representing 50% of their workforce. Steemit Inc. had a bigger percentage cut and laid off 70% of their employees. We saw
other companies like Consensys, Kraken, Coinfloor, Status, and Po.et announcing layoffs as they aim to streamline their operations in a bear market.
H1 2018 marked a period of peak ICO exuberance with EOS completing its year-long ICO, raising $4.2 billion. As we progressed throughout the year, the ICO
market struggled and we ended the year with many projects struggling to hit its hard cap. We also saw another major chain split dividing the community, thistime involving Bitcoin Cash.
2018 also saw strong development in the areas of stablecoins, decentralized apps (dApps), Security Token Offering, masternodes and Non-Fungible Tokens. We
have worked with our partners to deliver some great insights in this Year End Report.
While prices of most cryptoassets declined, we at CoinGecko saw strong growth in number of new coins, ICOs and exchanges launched in 2018. We started
tracking 2,050 new coins, 2,703 new ICOs and 229 new exchanges. These newly created coins, ICOs and exchanges represent the largest growth in the historyof the cryptoasset space on a year-on-year basis.
Internally, we grew our team to 10 people and launched many new features. We are proud of the public launch of our
free developer API, mobile apps on iOS and Android, and our daily market newsletters. It is our belief that crypto data
should be democratized and we aim to make it accessible to all.
We hope you find this report beneficial as we learn and grow together in 2019. Do share this report to your friends
and feel free to send us suggestions on ways to improve via email at hello@coingecko.com. May we see better growthin the cryptoasset industry in 2019.

Stablecoins:
What are they?

Definition:
Stablecoins are digital assetsthat aims to offer pricestability to the cryptocurrency
market by mirroring the valueof traditional fiat currencies orassets. The value of
stablecoins are derived
through the collateralizationof an underlying asset that
may vary from coin to coin.

Cryptocurrency by itself is an excellent medium of exchange for goods andservices partly because it has no judicial restrictions. The presence ofstablecoins could further improve the adoption of cryptocurrencies by offeringcertain unique qualities:

Store of Value:
Most stablecoins are backed by US Dollar due to its reputation as the de facto
global currency. For some it is a preferred store of value compared to morevolatile alternatives like Bitcoin.

Unit of Account:
Most stablecoins are accounted in units of currency that are recognized byindustry standards. A unit in USD/ EURO for example is more easily accounted forcompared to a satoshi (bitcoin) or gas (ethereum)31

Stablecoins:

Collateralization Types

CryptoCollateralized

Backed by othercryptocurrencies andusually overcollateralized
due to the volatile natureof cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum collateralized.

Asset-backed tokens areless popular because theunderlying asset itself

Presently, regulated stablecoins are allbased on US Dollar collateralization andpegged to the USD value.

What does it mean to have a regulated USD
stablecoin?
●

Stablecoins are fully exchangeablefor U.S. dollar at any point in time.

●

There will be no place for money
laundering of funds as all purchaseand redemption activity will have toundergo strict KYC and AML
compliance.

Countries facing hyperinflation would benefit
from the stability that regulated stablecoins
could provide.

He disagreed that Bitcoin Cash should be used for non-cash transactions
He also deemed CTOR unnecessary and is insufficiently tested

Nchain was supported by CoinGeek, the largest BCH Mining Pool
CoinGeek wanted BCH to be restored to original BTC design and the Blocksize raised to 128mb

This led to the launch of Bitcoin SV (Satoshi Version) with..

Bitcoin Cash ABC won mindshare with almost all
exchanges attributing Bitcoin Cash to the ABC

Bitcoin Cash ABC had higher trading volume throughout
except for a short period when Bitcoin SV had larger
trading volume.

Bitcoin Cash ABC started off with a higher price but it
decreased and at one point reached parity with BSV.

Lessons from the ICO Market
Blockchain has been
proven to be practicaland tested via the
ICO framework.
The time seems ripe
for the introductionof a regulated asset
class called:

SECURITYTOKENS

Bitcoin and early cryptocurrencies demonstrated how self-custodial solutions, open ledgers
and public blockchains enable infrastructure that scales globally to billions of dollars involume.
The token sale revolution, started in 2016, proved that there is hunger for easy investment
products, and blockchain can serve it.
●●●

Self-custodial solutions and adoption of Instant settlement and 24/7

What are Security Tokens?

A Digital Representation of
A Security
The concept of a security began when thefirst bonds were issued in 1517.
Tokenization on the blockchain will allow
ownership records to be stored in a digitaland immutable manner.

Ownership Recorded
On The Blockchain
Investors can become custodians of
their own assets with the ability toaccess and trade their assets anytime
and anywhere. This will undoubtedly
increase global market liquidity.

Rights & Obligations Coded
into Smart Contracts
Securities are similar to traditional financial
instruments, they carry the same rights andobligations as shares and debt. Coding thesecontractual terms into a smart contract will
provide investors protection under existing
regulations and jurisdictions. This can becontrasted against utility tokens or ICOs where
safeguards are limited.

Tokenization is a method to convert rights toan asset into a digital token - digital
representation that lives on Blockchain.
51

Security Tokens:
Why Tokenize a Security?

Naturally, tokenization does notfundamentally change the dynamics
of risk and return on investments.
However, it does create many
benefits for investors via new global
financial marketplaces. These arenow easier than ever to build due to
newfound blockchain efficiencies
such as lower infrastructure cost,
counter-party risk management andcross-border transactions.
This provides a similar shift for
securities/financial markets as theInternet did for media and commercein the 90’s.

Listing your security on

Working from a single

Startups can manage

immutable ledger ofshareholders.

24/7 Transactions
Just like crypto exchanges,
introducing security token
exchanges would increaseliquidity and allow immediate
settlements.

53

Security Tokens:
Regulation

Regulation: The Crucial Element
There is no overarching global regulation for securities that would cover investors in the case of a fraud.

Today out of the 20 million
SMEs in Europe, only 3,000
are listed on stock-exchanges.
WE WANT TO CHANGE THIS.
We propose rules that will
make it easier for SMEs toaccess a wide range of fundingat all stages of theirdevelopment and to raise
capital on public markets.
Valdis Dombrovskis,
Vice-President responsible forFinancial Stability, Financial Services
and Capital Markets Union

For most cases, the onus is on investors to conduct due diligence. Most governments and countries only
regulate and scrutinize large public offerings while providing minimal oversight for small/ private funding.

PRIVATE DEALS

PUBLIC SALES

Minimal Government Regulation

High Regulation & Scrutiny

With the increased interest from the public in crowdfunding and ICOs, regulators and lawmakers havebeen working on legislation to remove barriers between early stage capital raising and retail investors.
Security tokens will eventually support this new form of start-up capital fund raising. This will help
startups receive funding in a similar manner to ICOs, but projects will need to ensure minimum
requirements are met before being offered to the public.

STO Landscape: The Pioneers in this SpaceThe global securities market is valued at$77 trillion, if STOs get to represent even
1%, it would be larger than the current
ICO market. The diagram on the rightshows the projects experimenting withdifferent forms of tokenization.

CROWDFUNDING:
This is a highly regulated approachand offering securities to retailinvestors would increase scrutiny.

SECURITIES EXCHANGE:To offer liquidity in the market,
exchanges are required. These will
be guided by further regulationcompared to the current utility
token exchanges.
