Soon decentralized exchanges will be able to give you exposure to gold, oil, stocks, bonds as well as crypto, most exchanges weren't even fit to scale.

Recently https://marketprotocol.io/ made several DEX partnerships to colloborate alongside their existing spot trading.

Through derivative exposure DDEX’s users are no longer limited by existing ERC20 to ERC20 relationships and opens the door for expanded on-chain, off-chain and cross-chain offerings all within a safe and solvent trading ecosystem without the traditional hassles required to get exposure to something like Tesla stock.

MARKET Protcol has a working product in beta, credible team, hard working devs with very active github, real world use case with established partnerships for multi faceted integration of product, fast adoption for business to business, a products that will sustain longterm and elevate crypto to the next level, showcasing to traditional markets the value of blockchain tech, and bringing in the volume that most DEX desperately need.

This access gives mainstream the exposure they want and is a perfect example of the value a decentralized public ledger/smart contracts provide public.

The problems of barrier to entry are solved with decentralized derivatives.

Another great feature of this protocol, the ecosystem of utility tokens will benefit greatly from being able to mitigate risk, this will allow a lot of current projects scale and grow.

Buy ICX  ICON

May should be a big month for ICX and S Korea given they just gave a go for ICOs again,  the bloomberg article is bullish too

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-04-26/pantera-s-morehead-says-bitcoin-is-screaming-buy-bets-on-icon

No you are mostly correct. 

I personally dont use the utility of any of these tokens besides BNB. I use the brave browser but only buy BAT to speculate on the price. Tbh the entire space is speculation untill the price can be decoupled from the utility.

MARKET Protocol allows Traders the ability to hedge the price risk associated with owning the token, while maintaining custody of XYZ token and consuming the utility.

Very good point,  if you look at the experience and background of the team at the CME and CBOE you will see that they saw a number of issues with the traditional derivative markets and that is what they plan to address.

Great prediction op,  def top ten

Looks like OP is proving to be right..

Everyday I'm adding more and more of my portfolio into it and I'm thinking of going 100% on it considering the current price is low .
I strongly believe in the project and the team ,Hyperconnecting the crypto world is what this market needs to be taken seriously in the real finance world and potentially take over . So ICON is a project to hold on to and invest for the long term ,although there will be many exciting new in march  like the wallet realease and ICO's running on their network ,even a high chance of being listed on korean exchanges.

Yes,  every chance to scalp for more ICX is a good day

Prior to the explosion of the cryptocurrency sphere as a whole in 2017, most new projects launched in the absence of initial coin offerings. While this funding method has become the norm throughout the community, it has done so in the presence of massive controversy in regards to the ethics and legitimacy of the ICO model. While it seems as if every upcoming project involves such a crowdsale, it’s important to recognize that there are legitimate ventures operating sans ICOs. Here are four to check out:

1. MARKET PROTOCOL (MKT)
The team behind Market Protocol is working to develop a decentralized derivatives exchange – the first of its kind. Market Protocol will represent an ecosystem of DApps that allow participants to create and execute a variety of trades, trustlessly, with other participants. These contracts will encapsulate functions like margins and futures trading for both cryptocurrency and non-crypto stocks and commodities alike.

Market Protocol will be fueled by its token, MKT, to create contracts, connect traders, act as collateral, and execute trades. The team is currently finalizing its first DApp, contract creation. Soon following will be a DApp that will enable trading capabilities. The team is unsure as to how they will distribute MKT, but they have stated that there are no plans to hold an ICO. Currently, the project’s development is being funded by the team itself.
