Even with the blunders, Regal is still around #77 on Coincap.io and would be around that point on Coinmarketcap if CMC wasn't trying to blackball lending platforms and manipulating their results (they changed their evaluations to bump Bitconnect from the top five down to the 20s). It's obvious that Coinmarketcap has lending platforms on their blacklist, and that's hurting Regal. Regal should be listed on the front page of Coinmarketcap. Kudos to Coincap.io (and Worldcoinindex) for at least not putting Regal on a blacklist.

But Regal needs some tough love to get off their rears and implement an internal exchange. It should be top priority, and although I still believe in Regal because I have been able to lend and withdraw without issues, Regal's price will continue to dip until the REC team shows they are going to put forth a better effort. That means unlocking accounts and implementing an internal exchange.

From what I hear following Regal's team on Facebook, the internal exchange will happen in 2018. We can only hope.

Despite all of this, Regal itself is still working for those who aren't locked. Every lending platform has done something similar so we can only hope these two issues are corrected and Regal becomes the best lending platform out there, which I still think it can be.
