Big changes ahead for polo and it can really go either way from this point.

The only way is up.

It's surprising to see so many people who disagree. I think many people don't understand the gravity of what's happening. Goldman Sachs is heavily invested in Circle. Circle is a regulator's golden boy, down to the BitLicense.

Wall Street is investing in shitcoin exchanges now. Pinch yourself, this is not a dream! Shocked

Poloniex is going to be the most legitimate, regulated broker for tokens. They're registering with the SEC, with FINRA, and are going beyond money transmitter licenses. It's where serious altcoin/token investors in the US are going to go.

I really wonder what Poloniex has to offer that Circle wanted.

Market share. Same reason that Bank of America is patenting a cryptocurrency exchange system. What makes Poloniex so valuable is the quid quo pro with the SEC:

Here's a slide from a Circle presentation that was leaked this morning. Check out the second section in particular:

Basically, Circle told the SEC that they would turn Poloniex into a fully registered/licensed broker-dealer. In return, the SEC said they wouldn't pursue enforcement actions for any past behavior. Pretty sweet deal.

The SEC is establishing the "good actors" in the space. Poloniex is now a "good actor."

I hate to say it, but we're probably going to see some regulatory actions against the "bad actors" later this year.....
