By the end of 2017, total ICO funding is going to exceed $5B with top-10 projects raising up to $250M from a single ICO event. The current run rate of over $600M per month surpasses traditional early-stage fundraising by a multiple, as the angel and seed-stage VC investments were running at less than $300 million per month.

Dear community members,
As we didn’t provide you with any dev updates over the last 2 weeks, this one will be longer than usually.
We primarily focused on adding new assets to our platform, so it was a big task for our tech team to prepare the platform for these listings.
The first main development is implementation of multi-balances for all users: you may have noticed a “more” button at the top of your wallets, where you can see the first 20 tokens now. You can already deposit them, while we’ll announce the withdrawal function a bit later once we set everything up.
Secondly, as we can now accept and process 20 new tokens, we created 20 new trading pairs with LA! As soon as our internal testers who are currently trading them in a test mode finalize their verification, we will enable public access to the new pairs.
The third development is connected with the listings: as we’ve started to list new assets on our platform, we have to create a CRM system to track them, to manage communication with asset owners, etc. Development of such system requires a great effort, but we’ve already achieved a meaningful progress in it, while our managers are currently working on selection of new assets that will be listed soon.
Fourthly, we improved deposits/withdrawals. As I said above, we can now accept ERC20 tokens, but currently it’s reasonable to only send us LA (as new trading pairs are not accessible for everyone right now). Further, coin withdrawals are now fully automated: there is a slight delay with ETH withdrawals right now, but I believe we’ll fix it today!
Fifthly, all verification requests are being processed, the only step left to complete the users verification is the final approval from our legal team. We’ll also deploy an enhanced and more user-friendly KYC form for new users soon! #devupdate

Good day!
Our weekly Dev Update is ready.
1. Ethereum integration update. As you could notice, problems with withdrawals in the last week occurred. It's related to major instability of global Ethereum nodes (probably because of ETH price growth) - Infura, MyEtherWallet, EtherScan - all these services were highly unstable during the last week. Our own reserve Ethereum-nodes system was implemented to tackle these problems. Currently, ETH withdrawals are processed as fast as possible.
2. ERC20 tokens integration. We prepared 5 new tokens for our platform and trading opening is scheduled to start in the beginning of next week. Withdrawals and deposits of these tokens are ready and will be working as tokens are launched.
3. Blockchain database implementation and internal accounting system. Being an exchange we have to track every transaction and double-check each figure related to balances/trading. We implemented our own relational database representing Ethereum transaction (BTC/BCH coming coon). It enables us to detect any problem related to trading and replenish our internal pools in a timely manner. Planned public API to the system will enable developers to analyze blockchain information and collaborate on new projects.
4. Internal tokenization CRM update and ICO-listings integration. As we want to provide a wide range of information about cryptoassets available for trading, few ICO-listings were integrated to disclose ongoing and upcoming token sales. A participation in token sales directly on the platform will soon be available.
5. Internationalization system for our translators. We are translating our platform to more languages to make it user-friendly for all range of our users. A translation-management system was integrated to localize the platform for users from Asian countries.

Forbes compares the crypto to the derivatives markets that did not exist up until 1973 but grew into a $544 trillion market by 2018. The article claims that the crypto might follow this well-trodden path, and mentions the Blockchain Economic Forum as one of the main events to facilitate the discussions of the most important topics of the crypto economy and its growing influence on the global economy.
"The forum is a great place for the market leaders to introduce and reinforce rules of self-conduct protecting uninformed contributors and preventing misuse of crypto transaction while scaling benefits such as built-in rights registry, early adopters acquisition and low transaction costs due to absence of middlemen." https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesfinancecouncil/2018/01/16/we-have-seen-this-before-cryptocurrencies-will-change-the-world-but-will-follow-a-well-trodden-path/2/#1dab4feb224c

As the popularity of crypto continues to grow, many newbie investors are puzzled and, probably, perplexed by a recent slump in the value of many crypto assets.
As of late January 16, 97 out of the top-100 assets and 288 out of the top-300 assets on CoinMarketCap found themselves in the 24H red zone, with median decline at around -21%. Ironically, the very fact that more and more people have recently been exchanging their fiat money for cryptocurrencies could be one of the factors contributing to the decline. But there are more. LAToken CEO Valentin Preobrazhenskiy is looking at them in his column.
