Why Ravencoin Will Flourish for Years to Come


Hello and happy Tuesday! As the summer months are winding down, the changing seasons have brought a whirlwind of shockwaves to the blockchain world. Whether it is El Salvador accepting Bitcoin as legal tender, the SEC threatening to sue Coinbase over its Lend program, China issuing its weekly (or at least it feels that way!) ban on cryptocurrencies in the country, or uncertainty originating from a host of challenges foreign and aborad, market volatility has been overly-abundant. A silver lining from all of this is that alt-coins with more robust fundamentals and better price action have been able to hold key support levels, whereas weaker, less utilized projects have begun to fall through the cracks.

While it can be hard to keep up with all of the mayhem, there is one asset that is worth remembering: Ravencoin.

As discussed in a previous Token Tuesday, which can be found here, the Ravencoin (RVN) protocol was born thanks to businessman Bruce Fenton and developer Tron Black. The protocol was designed to facilitate the creation and transfer of tokens representing real-world assets such as securities, collectibles, gold, event tickets, or even airline miles. It was launched as an open-source fork of Bitcoin’s codebase, meaning the developers copied and amended Bitcoin’s code to provide additional features targeting different goals.

Being a Proof-of-Work (PoW) blockchain, RVN enables a quick and efficient issuance of assets, a possible advantage over Ethereum’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) protocol. These issued tokens have many uses, including security tokens, real-time asset transfer transactions, and non-fungible tokens (NFT).

Representing a shift from traditional chains to a security token-centric approach, Ravencoin provides a compliant enterprise-grade security token issuance solution for firms seeking more out of their blockchain. Designed for use by corporate clients, the Ravencoin developers entered the market with one goal: solve the challenges that arise from using today’s token issuance platforms. With a few key features, Ravencoin aims to solve many of these problems the developers were facing.

Ravencoin has set itself apart with its technological advancements and innovation, but if you have been exploring cryptocurrencies on social media, there is a key differentiator: the community. You will be hard-pressed to find a more passionate, knowledgeable, and goal-driven group of investors than those involved in the Ravencoin Project. One reason may be due to the structure of the coin. While backed by Medici Ventures, a subsidiary of Overstock, there was no pre-sale or ICO, meaning no tokens were given to advisors, staff, developers, board members, or anyone else. Leaving the project with a democratic backbone helped launch the Ravencoin Foundation in 2020, two years after the initial token launch. This ensured that the project became a fully community-driven project independent of Medici Venture’s control.

When communities have more control over an asset they believe in, something pretty cool happens: masses recognize the potential that’s possible.

There are few better to hear from than someone on the frontlines of Ravencoin’s community. I asked Leon (known on Twitter as @Leon_Texas), an investor and very well respected voice for Ravencoin, why Ravencoin would be able to sustain near-term market instability and what he thought was most appealing about the fundamentals of RVN. He had this to say:

I don’t know if there’s a project out there that is immune to short-term instability. As hard as it is to do, you have to think macro and ignore short-term noise with projects you believe in.

Ravencoin offers next-gen real-world features that are needed on a global scale. If only one region adopts Ravencoin, it will be a home-run for $RVN, but there is no doubt that this adoption will spread much further than that. Capabilities not even fathomed will soon be possible through Ravencoin’s protocol.

One of the most underrated features of Ravencoin is its community. Fortune 100 companies can’t replicate this passion that our growing community displays daily. Individuals spend their money traveling the world to talk to make leaders aware of the possibilities with Ravencoin and thousands more are contributing in their own way. In a world where individual freedom is diminishing, Ravencoin is truly decentralized. There’s nobody to ask for approval as it is free code given away for anyone to use or build on. It’s refreshing to be part of a blockchain that is truly free. The biggest obstacle to Ravencoin today is ourselves. The moon is the limit.

It is safe to say that Leon represents many in the community when he speaks to why he believes Ravencoin will succeed far into the future.

Whether representing real-world assets in the form of security tokens, as Chainstone Labs did, real estate, gold, or being used to create NFTs using a RVN platform, the opportunities are endless.

While trading at a market cap of ~$950 million, RVN is by no means breaking any records… yet. There is no doubt that if the use cases continue to increase, the community keeps growing, and protocol keeps evolving, Leon is right, the moon is the limit.

Cryptosx:STO降低融資難度Cryptosx:STO降低融資難度

  (星島日報報道)不少企業會面對融資困難問題,數位資產交易所Cryptosx創辦人譚百賢(見圖)表示,透過證券型代幣發行(STO)將可大幅減低融資成本及難度,有別於通過IPO吸納傳統投資者,STO有助吸引來自世界各地的加密貨幣投資者,突破國際界限。   譚百賢引述普華永道(PWC)數據指,IPO成本約為集資資本的3.5%至7%,如企業集資1億美元,成本最少需要350萬美元,形容IPO融資成本高昂,STO成本則相對較低,約為200萬至500萬元。他透露,目前於Cryptosx進行STO的公司一般暫未有能力進行IPO,但卻亦非初創,認為這些企業相對適合同STO融資。他指出,STO定位在IPO之下,一般企業進行STO後,下一步很大機會再進行IPO上市,形容STO為IPO的「前期訓練」。他又指,二者的分別在於,IPO是在傳統交易所集資,而STO則是於加密貨幣市場中集資,而兩者皆有相應的監管及認可。  除融資成本較低外,譚百賢指,STO有助吸引更多來自加密貨幣市場,以及不同國家的投資者,「一個美國人想要買香港的IPO不是做不到,但會很麻煩,而STO則可以打破這個限制。」  通過STO融資屬較新的做法,譚百賢認為仍處於教育階段,愈來愈多企業希望接觸STO融資。Cryptosx由2019年至今已為7家企業進行STO,預料至今年底就有12個STO完成批核,形容近年STO增長速度迅速。他透露,公司有逾一半收入來自STO,當中包括上市費、交易費等。  亨泰消費品(197)早前以2876萬元股份代價收購Cryptosx 17.5%股權。亨泰首席投資及企業關係總監朱怡捷指,是次收購有助分散傳統貿易業務風險,避免完全依賴本業,又認為一旦傳統貿易市場逆轉將導致經營風險上升。她指公司會先專注區塊鏈技術研究,下一步才謹慎考慮會否投資加密貨幣相關領域。
