And to finish with the 108 pages of the white paper on "Understanding the digital tokens: Market Reviews and Guidelines for Politicians and Practitioners" we come to the third section of the same and with the Part III of this series of posts that we have translated and prepared for you. On this occasion, we will touch on aspects such as: an economic landscape of the token and looking to the future in this same area. So prepare paper and pencil 📝 to take note because another futuristic post from the Emeeseese Team has arrived:D

It is necessary to mention that before going for the economic outlook of the tokens, the groups that make up the Token Alliance have carried out collection events that have allowed to reach considerable figures from the year 2013 to the present. The amounts collected are valued according to the average daily exchange rates on the date when the fundraising event was closed.

The fact of managing encouraging amounts in the Token Alliance fundraising has defined the industry's trajectory, and for this reason the attention has been obtained from regulators, financial institutions and market participants retailer

Imagine for a moment how much more money could have been collected for the effects of digital tokens without the negative intervention of hackers or pishing 😣

Total amounts raised in the token project fundraising events

Focusing on explaining the economic landscape that digital tokens have faced since 2013 to date, we extracted amounts in $ and graphs that show the trend of it, all from the perspective of the organized groups that have gathered efforts to make blockchain platforms, of growth of projects that start and of digital currencies a reality. For this reason, we ask you to use the magnifying glass of the Token Alliance to understand these figures more clearly.

Although the bar graph shows a small increase in 2016, it represented in absolute terms an amount above the $ 100 million in collection for symbolic projects through the DAO ¹ . Currently, these figures tend to rise, surprising the Blockchain industry on the one hand and strengthening some platforms on the other hand, such as Ethereum.

In particular, as the chart illustrates, the total dollar volume of this and other token projects worthy of mention fundraising events was quite small compared to those that took place in 2017 and the first quarter of 2018.Source

¹DAO: are the acronyms of what is summarized as "Decentralized Autonomous Organization" or Autonomous and Decentralized Organization that serves to finance ETH.

And added to the open and decentralized spirit of the Blockchain, the DAO allows smaller investors the decision power that does not necessarily have to be in tune with that of the wholesale investors, thus creating other DAOs more in line with the support of projects that most resemble they.

Ultimately, the year 2.017 represented a significantly favorable increase and with that a new chapter was written in the fundraising history of the Token project. If we translate this into figures we would be talking about $ 7.3 billion raised in more than 550 fundraising events. Continuing with the year 2.018, this continuum with good rhythm, as shown in the following graph:

The year 2.017 presented a considerable and positive peak since there was an increase in the events selling tokens, to then decline and present a decrease of more than 220 to around 300 million $. However, the amount collected continued to increase: we are talking about figures of $ 6.5 billion in a quarter, which represents an increase of more than 50% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.

However, the year 2,018 has brought with it a deceleration rate that suggests a possible slowdown of the upward trend.

Below, we specify average amounts of digital token sales that speak of an increase ranging from $ 13 million to $ 30 million respectively.

Average amount of fundraising for the token project.

The reality of the average amount of sales of digital tokens can not be seen separately, that is why scholars in the subject are asked the question how much should try to raise digital token sales projects?

The answer is that many digital token projects were looking for around $ 500,000 to $ 2 million, with a slightly lower or higher amount.

Note: Some projects have sold all the available tokens in less than 60 seconds, which promises a lot in the progress of the Blockchain.

However, the reality of the figures collected in events of larger funds have reached tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. The truth is that in the year 2,017 and early 2,018 have been marked by a tendency of collection of greater volume of dollars

Token sales geography

In the following map, you will not only find the countries with Blockchain centers recognized as: United States, Switzerland and Singapore, but also the amounts raised by selling digital tokens through symbolic projects and fundraising since 2013.

What we find most interesting is that the figures range from 500 billion to 3,000 billion $. This indicates that although this kind of projects date from very little time, the amounts collected make us see that the Blockchain world is in its infancy and new and good changes will happen in the near future. Similarly, we believe that the activities, analyzes and studies undertaken in countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Singapore, among others, will maintain a good attitude towards the new financial and virtual world.

In the broadest sense, the two maps illustrate the nature of communities and the origins of many emerging projects. This type of citrons, data, graphs, maps and statistics allow us to evaluate the trends and evolution of token fundraising, which will continue to be revealing as the industry continues to evolve.

Looking to the future

As expected, finance and information technology dominated the landscape until now. Blockchain technology is a unique way to store data and represent tradable values. The expansion of projects beyond this core showed how entrepreneurs are imagining new ways in which blockchain technology can be applied. The different industries are briefly described belowSource:

• Trade and transport: personal transport services, supply chain management and freight transport.

• Real estate: commercial, residential, property management and real estate investment funds

• Public administration-Voting mechanisms, record keeping and government platforms.

• Professional services: advertising / marketing, accounting, identity management, legal services and loyalty rewards

• Natural resources: energy, agriculture and precious metals.

• Media: games, messages, entertainment and social networks.

• Manufacturing-Hardware devices and other manufacturing companies.

• Information: smart contract platforms, distributed computing, data storage and data analysis.

• Health and society: medical services, non-profit organizations, social services and education

• Finance-Payment systems, distributed trading platforms and distributed forecasting markets

Note: Each of these topics were taken verbatim from the White Paper

As you can see, the range of options that digital tokens can cover is quite broad, we are not simply talking about the exchange, purchase and sale of any particular cryptocurrency, but adapting a whole world to the use of Blockchain. We assume that each area should analyze its regulation, but this should not overwhelm us but rather, take it as good news, because even when we are just arriving in this world, the intention is to stay and go illustrating from now. I hope you liked this post and remember that perseverance is crucial to grow in this cryptonian world.
