ICO INGOT COIN Bridging Markets with Blockchain

High Fees in Financial Markets

A large number of intermediaries such as primary banks, brokerage firms and intermediary banks are usually involved in trading and financing activities, which means that high fees are being deducted from investors on multiple stages. Excessive bank and brokerage fees can be unattractive and debilitating for investors looking to access different markets.

Impractical Crypto Exit Strategies

Transferring funds in bull markets is quite hard, never mind in bear markets. We have seen the drop in crypto prices in late 2017 and how it impacted a lot of crypto participants as they were either unable to liquidate their tokens into other financial instruments or were forced to pay large fees to do so. Until recently, the worry of an inefficient exit strategy in the Crypto market was disregarded, especially when prices were soaring. As more investors, institutions, and funds started participating, it has become apparent that neither the traditional financial system nor the crypto market can establish a direct connection between the two. Many enterprises across various industries now accept and store cryptocurrency as a method of payment in order to keep up with competition and increasing demand, but unfortunately most are unable to moderate their exposure and risk.

Lack of trust in Crypto Markets

The difficulty of transferring current holdings to the crypto markets in terms of diversification, liquidity, bias to price discrimination and lack of consistently available market services, has deemed the exponentially growing market unreliable to prospective participants and in turn limiting them from entering. Moreover, the lack of knowledge in the market about blockchain, smart contracts and the variety of possible useful implications, have caused the participants to turn down profitable investment opportunities.
