Thomas Olsen, a partner at Bain & Company explains, “Once blockchain platforms are widely implemented in an industry, cost structures will change, pricing will change, and there will be a new, more efficient equilibrium. At that point, competitive advantage will not be that blockchain platform, it will be who uses it faster or better—your ability to add value to it, or distribute it, or make it easier for your clients to use.”

As companies gain traction with using blockchains for business gain, it could set off a new arms race. Leaders will work to stay a step ahead, using the technology to deliver new features, find novel ways to commercialize, and continue to reduce cost structures through blockchain-driven automation.

The market value for IT workers with blockchain skills increased by 6.3% in the six months through Oct. 1, 2019 and a whopping 13.3% for the full year – “well above average,” according to the Foote Partners research.

Over a decade ago Bitcoin was created introducing an entirely new industry of cryptocurrencies and blockchains that are currently being used around the globe. However, this market remains relatively small.

As of today, the aggregate market capitalization of all digital assets comes in at $205 billion, whilst the global stock market is valued at $82.2 trillion in aggregate. This makes the global stock market valued 40,000% higher than cryptocurrencies.

Nevertheless, according to the Deutsche Bank strategist Jim Reid, there are potential risk factors in the “current fiat system,” which he called “fragile” and that it “could unravel in the 2020s.” Reid also claimed that if such occurrence does take place, there will be a “backlash against fiat money and demand for alternative currencies, such as gold or crypto could soar.”

It’s important to note that to support his claims, Reid looked to the high levels of inflation of the dollar back in the 1970s specifically, that led to a surge in the prices of gold.

Do you agree?

After a rough start to life, crytocurrencies may be on the cusp of a breakout decade if Deutsche Bank AG’s contrarian call comes true.

From day one ROKKEX has emphasized the importance of complying with the latest KYC and AML regulations to ensure transparency so there would be no room for illegal activities whilst dealing with digital currency operations.
We made sure that our KYC procedures and money laundering detection engine prevents any fraudulent operations from happening by utilizing industry-leading in-house software and AI solutions.

It is a pity, but according to the Q3 Cryptocurrency Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Report prepared by the blockchain compliance solutions provider CipherTrace around a third of the top 120 exchanges have little or no KYC, and the two-thirds are lacking in strong KYC policies.
Learn more about the study in the article below.

Around one third of the top 120 exchanges are "weak" when it comes to know-your-customer (KYC) verification, while two-thirds "lack strong KYC policies," the firm said.
