NEW MARKET PERSPECTIVES THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
- Cryptographic Token Valuation
What do you pay for an asset that offers no claim on an underlying business, generates no operating cash flow, and promises to pay nothing to its owners? Over the past two years blockchain-based tokenized networks have accrued billions of dollars in value. Since these networks are fundamentally different from traditional assets, traditional valuation frameworks do not apply. Yet, these tokens have a value with their own ecosystem of products and services that may be every bit as disruptive to the existing infrastructure of business operations as token platform founders predict.
What you will learn:
- How to assess a token platforms value from a utility use case mindset
- How to evaluate token entities using fundamental analysis based on non-traditional valuation approaches
- The importance of velocity and other assumptions common to platform token economies and supply/demand fundamentals
-
Risk Adjusted Return on Digital Assets - It Ain’t Your Granddaddy’s Asset Class
- Explain the obvious flaw in mainstream thinking regarding the perceptions of risk vs reward, particularly as it applies to volatile crypto assets
- Comparing the historical risk adjusted return of legacy assets vs digital assets
- Introduce VeResearch and how it is in a class of its own - distribute samples of VeResearch and physically compare it to what’s currently available
What you will learn:
- How to accurately measure risk adjusted return in the digital asset space
- How to discern quality research and analysis from the run-of-the-mill opinions
- Issues Facing the Blockchain Industry as of Today
Every new technology revolution has to cope with issues and limitations since its inception and Blockchain is no exception to the rule. The point of this part is to present the current issues that Blockchain users are facing and how these problems could be solved or avoided in the more or less near future.
What you will learn:
- Overview of the different types of issues faced by Blockchain technology users since inception
- Potential improvements and enhancements that could be brought by stakeholders to advance the industry
- Predictions for the industry one, five and ten years out
- P2P Capital Markets for Exchanges: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Veritaseum develops public blockchain-based, P2P financial machines, and it is not the only company pursuing customers in this space. This workshop is a hands on introduction to the various products offered by companies such as Iconomy, Shapeshift/Prism and Veritaseum as well as Grayscale.co’s approach to engaging traditional investors in crypto investing. You will get to contrast and compare the early leaders in the space of digital asset management and investment and learn how the technology will be a boon to the most progressive market participants, and potentially the death of those who resist change.
What you will learn:
- How Veritaseum’s VeADIR works and can be applied to exchanges, money managers, family offices and brokers
- Actual facts from a bank’s point of view
- Actual facts from non-bank financial institutions’ point of view (capital market participants and investors)
- V. Risks to Anticipate: New Competition for Stock Exchanges?
The Blockchain technologies are shaking up the industry very quickly. As an example, in August 2017, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) announced their wish to be soon the first mainstream financial market to adopt blockchain by replacing its old settlement and clearing system by the end of 2018 through this new technology. What many industry pundits fail to realize is that this is merely an upgrading of a legacy infrastructure. This transition is not a material threat to the legacy business model (although it will eliminate some redundant fat within the system). The real threat to legacy business models will arise when clients of the legacy institutions and retail investors realize the power of P2P systems that allow them to circumvent exchanges, brokers and money managers en masse.
What you will learn:
- Overview of the last initiatives launched by the main stock exchanges
- The pros and cons of trades performed in a decentralized manner
- The pros and cons of non-affiliated market operators and settlement facilities
- Group discussion of potential risks and benefits – Idea exchange
- VI. Tokenizing Real World Assets of Any Kind
This segment will illustrate the process and benefits of bringing physical assets onto the blockchain. The team will use as examples Veritaseum’s Financial Machine, the VeADIR (Veritaseum Autonomous Distributed Interactive Research) and walk the audience through real world examples of Veritized, liquid gold that is fully redeemable for the physical metal at the redemption window. Time and resources permitting, they will also walk through a real world example (or simulation) of Veritized real estate transferable in near real-time through the blockchain. The team will also share how the Securitize.io platform performs tokenization.
What you will learn:
- The true power of public blockchains and the prudent use of smart contracts in the conditional transfer of commodities and financial, hard, and real assets
- Demonstration of the “sky’s the limit” potential of the technology
- Emphasize the potential shortcomings in the current regulatory environment and anticipate the next major moves
VII. Open discussion and Distribution of Actual VERI tokens, Veritaseum Research and VeADIR Access for the Use of the Audience
