“We are entering a new digital era in world financial markets. As we saw with the development of the Internet, we cannot put the technology genie back in the bottle. Virtual currencies mark a paradigm shift in how we think about payments, traditional financial processes, and engaging in economic activity. Ignoring these developments will not make them go away, nor is it a responsible regulatory response”.

The Big Crypto Investors Aren’t Trading With You — They’re Going OTC

Over-the-counter (OTC) trading has long been a staple of traditional financial institutions to minimize the market impact of displaying institutional-sized orders on public exchanges. Some analysts estimate the cryptocurrency OTC market to be two to three times the size of regular trading volume. Whether trading securities, commodities, derivatives, or any other financial instrument, the OTC markets—literally selling assets over the phone or instant messenger—are an important option for institutional investors. With the introduction of the newest emerging asset class, cryptocurrencies, we’re seeing an even faster growing OTC market like never before. According to Reuters, Genesis Global trading, a New York-based dealer-broker that specializes in OTC crypto-asset transactions, currently handles an average of $75 million to $80 million worth of trades daily. That volume is 10 times the monthly volume Genesis saw just a year ago. But why is the OTC market growing so rapidly and intensely? And why are more people looking for OTC trading opportunities?

So what does your token MOBU do?
Real businesses wishing to raise capital by issuing security tokens will build their ICOs on the MOBU platform. MOBU creates an abstract smart contract from which all security token ICOs will be extended. The MOBU abstract smart contract will contain the code that is required by the security token ICOs to conform to the MOBU ERC20 platform and the MOB20 standard to adapt to the ideas and requirements of MOBU.

what will the project do to increase the value of the MOBU token?
MOBU Referrals – Companies/Individuals referring ICO issuers onto MOBU will be rewarded in MOBU tokens which will be equivalent of one year`s revenue generated on the platform by the percentage of fees generated from the marketplace. This amount will be paid in MOBU and locked-up over a 3-year period also ensuring increase in demand and scarcity of MOBU.

Does the market have demand for MOBU token?
MOBU solves a distinct problem in a multi-trillion-dollar securities market. The MOBU platform creates a set of rules that govern the issuance of compliant security tokens, and program them into smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain ensuring transparency and immutability. Its clear business model demonstrates the unique use of and demand for the MOBU token on the MOBU platform by tender users. The MOBU platform ensures competitive pricing for legal costs, smart contract design, etc. to ensure lower barriers to entry and higher profitability for investors.

Yes, better than some ICO's some leave it till the last moment and just constantly extend!

Hi there, I know what you mean, however it is in companies interests to stall on sales at the moment as not many people have funds they can invest with in this bear market, for me looking at the date makes sense. After all they are the team of experts. But that's just my 2 cents 

The team aren't aware of RICO but, yes similar concept applies

Where you will find great content being shared like this interview with Neill Barron, Director of clinical data analytics

What inspired you to start building a collaboration platform for clinical trials for the pharmaceutical industry?

Simply put, pharma companies can learn from each other to develop and get medicines to patients faster. Realising the predictability of clinical trial issues, the question I asked myself was “How powerful would it be if one pharmaceutical company conducting a clinical trial could learn from another who has already conducted a clinical trial in the same disease area?”. Clintex CTi will allow that collaboration, whilst protecting commercial sensitivity. Very powerful predictive insights will be built up for use across the industry to more efficiently design and conduct clinical trials – learning from each other for the benefit of all.

Don't forget the Codex team will be at Blockchain Live 2018 in London, UK on September 26th
