2019 Number of patent applications for global blockchain inventions published in the first half of the year

China's research and development success in blockchain far exceeds that of other countries. According to statistics, the number of patent applications for global blockchain inventions published in the first half of 2019, the proportion of the top 100 companies in China is over 65. %.

Bakkt officially launched

Bakkt, the new cryptocurrency trading platform launched by the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), is finally open. After nearly a year of delays and bounces, Bakkt has now been approved by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the New York State Financial Services Department, and officially started BTC futures trading on September 23. Bakkt will launch its first regulated options contract for Bitcoin Futures on December 9th, with the aim of bringing more trust and practicality to the digital asset industry. And bring more choices to blockchain financial products.

Facebook Libra

On June 18, 2019, Facebook published the Libra white paper. This is a major milestone that will certainly be recorded in history. The standard consensus research report "The blockchain in the booming day, the currency circle in the rivers and rivers" gives the judgment that "the blockchain project is going from virtual to real and gradually constructing its own intrinsic value. For the current currency circle, bad; for the public, good ."

JPMorgan JPM coin

On February 14, 2019, JP Morgan Chase announced that it was the first US bank to successfully issue a cryptocurrency that anchors legal tender. This is the beginning of the blockchain in the traditional financial industry. Standard consensus research report "JPMorgan Chase challenges the traditional currency pattern, stable currency is only the first shot" gives judgment "JPMorgan Chase issued JPM Coin, not intended to be the next USDT, this is just the traditional financial hegemony to use the blockchain to rewrite the world The first step of the currency pattern"

STO development

STO can be seen as a typical application of blockchain technology in the investment field. The popularity of the STO concept began in 2018, when various blockchain projects plummeted and the star project disbanded the currency circle after a desolate. But at that time, the standard consensus survey of global blockchain regulations found that in contrast to the “cold” of the trading market, the global warming trend of the overall regulatory trend. Unlike the vast range of functional tokens (BTC, ETH, BNB…), ST is a securities token. It anchors its own value, such as equity, income, and so on. This is also a typical application of applying blockchain to the real economy. The blockchain technology is used to distribute the value generated by the real economy to all participants. A series of standard consensus research reports provide a detailed interpretation of securitization tokens.

Digital currency market trend

Before October 25th, the digital money market as a whole is still in a downward trend. Taking BTC as an example on October 23, the volume fell and fell by more than US$1,000 in a single day, a drop of more than 10%. However, on October 24th, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee conducted the eighteenth collective study on the status quo and trends of blockchain technology development. In his study, the General Secretary emphasized that the integrated application of blockchain technology plays an important role in new technological innovations and industrial changes. We must take the blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies, clarify the main direction, increase investment, focus on a number of key core technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain technology and industrial innovation.

• The digital currency led by BTC started to rise rapidly. The BTC rose more than 3,000 US dollars in two days, an increase of over 40%, and the volume of transactions also expanded rapidly. The sentiment of the digital currency secondary trading market was mobilized because of the general secretary's recognition of the blockchain, but as the mood calmed down, market transactions gradually cooled down and fluctuated at a high level.
• At the same time that the mainstream currencies have risen sharply, the "air coins" have also been swaying, and they want to take advantage of the market's east winds. However, these "air coins" projects have risen rapidly and have fallen rapidly, with a one-day decline of more than 50%. It fully shows that the market is increasingly rationalized in the blockchain project, and the speculation is still dominated by mainstream coins and traditional public chain projects. The choice is also biased towards projects that are more grounded in the future and more focused on the application.
• After the general secretary’s speech on the blockchain on October 24th, the US stock blockchain concept stocks took the lead in the trend. Thunder rose 20%, closing up more than 107%, and still rose 18% before the October 28th Thunderbolt. The rally is strong.
• On October 28th, A-shares opened higher, blockchain concept stocks rallied, and the number of stocks in the two urban blockchains exceeded 100, the blockchain index rose to 8.12%, and the volume of transactions increased exponentially. In the short term, blockchain concept stocks will continue to rise.

Blockchain industry development trend

A summary of the above events can be seen:

1. The global Internet and financial giants are accelerating the layout of blockchains;
2. Global policies are beginning to tilt towards blockchain, including regulation and incentives;
3. The current blockchain project has undergone serious differentiation.

From these phenomena, we speculate that the future development trend of the blockchain industry is that blockchain technology will soon be applied to the real economy and generate value, and the original "aircoin" projects will be accelerated. It is still a question whether the traditional blockchain project represented by Bitcoin can survive.

Conclusion

To quote the end of a circle of friends: "Is the blockchain on the top, what are you happy with the blockchain?" History tells us that the first thing is the regular army.
