It all started in 2010 with the launching of the first ever high-frequency trading conference in the United States. That pioneering event gave rise to The Trading Show – the most established brand in the Americas electronic trading market.

The event has quickly grown into one of the most important gatherings in the industry, with the aim to share knowledge, make new connections and showcase the most disruptive technologies that will be driving forward algorithmic trading.

Over the past few years, The Trading Show has played host to Wall Street legends like Blair Hull, internationally recognized quants like Bob Litterman and next-generation financial technology companies like Dash, IBM, and D-Wave.

The 2017 event attracted over 450 delegates from Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, State Street, Two Sigma, WorldQuant, Tower Research Capital, Genesis Trading and other leading financial institutions across North America.

Dubai is one of the fastest developing cities in the World. At this point, it shouldn’t be a surprise that adopting Blockchain is one of the top priorities.

It is one of the first cities that has a Blockchain Strategy in place for the next few years, and it intends to be the first city fully powered by blockchain by 2020.

The Dubai Blockchain Strategy is a result of a collaboration between the Smart Dubai Office and the Dubai Future Foundation to continually explore and evaluate the latest technology innovations that demonstrate an opportunity to deliver more seamless, safe, efficient, and impactful city experiences.

History suggests that progressive business regulation can be a major boom to geographies looking to propel their economies.

Think Dubai’s free trade zones or Singapore’s little dragon boom, for example. As blockchain and digital currencies emerge as a new foundation for the global economy, governments around the world — both local and national — are racing to evaluate the intersection of this new technology with existing legislation.

We’re starting to see an increase in Blockchain adoption, with more and more countries passing bills and continuing to develop strategies for integrating blockchain into their day to day operations.

This is the case with the state of Wyoming that recently has passed 5 blockchain bills with the aim to help the development of digital assets, securities, and blockchain.

As a response to the news, the University of Wyoming is organizing the first blockchain hackathon – WyoHackathon.

Between September 7-9, at the Memorial Fieldhouse in Laramie, you can sign-up for the hackathon and get your first dApp ready during the 3 days of intense coding, fueled by awesome speeches from one of the top founders and CEOs in the blockchain industry.

At Coincheckup one thing we like to do when investing is look for what we call “Hidden Gems.”

Hidden Gems are coins that have a small marketcap (usually under $10M USD) and fairly low trade volumes, but, that we think have really strong potential to grow rapidly over the next few years.

We decided, as part of our Insider Newsletter series, we’re going to share one of these hidden gems each month.

What’s so special about these hidden gems:

• Since they are low marketcap projects, they have the potential to 2x – 10x instantly if big investors get onboard.
• They are usually very early stage projects, often listed on only a few exchanges. The news of exchange listings is big enough to move them.
• They are high-quality projects that have a clear path to long sustained growth.
• Their low marketcaps mean they should see stable growth over time even without major events.

 

Hidden Gem of the Month:
OxBitcoin 

What’s so special about this coin?

• It’s marketcap as of today is only around $2.5M USD. Meaning that even if it grew 10x it would be considered a small coin.
• It’s the first mineable ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. This means it is secure, and fairly distributed. No ICO teams, or early investors.
• Just like Bitcoin anyone can mine the token, but, unlike Bitcoin the token can be used in smart contracts.
• Like Bitcoin the token mining will have a reward halving era and give out smaller rewards over time. This will automatically increase the scarcity of the coin.
• Just like Bitcoin, there will only ever be 21,000,000 coins in existence.

What is the price of 0xBitcoin right now?

• Right now, OxBitcoin floats between a price of $0.70 – $1 USD per coin.

What would a $1000 worth of 0xBitcoin right now be worth in 10 years, if it followed the same trend as Bitcoin?

• $1000 spent on 0xBitcoin today, would be worth $11,428,571 in 10 years if 0xBitcoin performed the same as Bitcoin.

Who is behind 0xBitcoin?

• 0xBitcoin is an open source project originally started by a Stanford Researcher and lead by a developer known as “Infernal Toast.”

Where can I buy 0XBitcoin?

• Right now, you can buy 0xBitcoin on Mercatox, IDEX, and ForkDelta.

 

Important Disclaimer: Please note – the hidden gems series is not financial advice. The goal of this series is to showcase high quality cryptocurrency projects and compare them to the historical performance of Bitcoin. You should always do your own due diligence and research.
