Live-Preis von Tether in EUR

Our delusional perspective on Iconomi platform and why we may be considering moving out some of our strategies in the next several months:

- Fees are not competitive enough compared to DEX and CEX, while too many assets cannot be taken in self custody nor deposited (only for $BTC $ETH $USDT $USDC)

- Management did not implement features requested by community as shorting, physical credit cards, comparison of any asset on the platform (strategies can be compared but not against specific coins, nor specific coins with other specific coins) and so other features that were super demanded and whose controversy has been cleared lately, like staking for instance. Competitors like Kraken or Coinbase for instance allow staking.

- Management has no clear vision: originally the company was born with the view of Decentralized Asset Arrays, it abandoned this view and now cannot figure out its roadmap, meanwhile asset tokenisation is taking over in classical finance.

- Iconomi does not define itself as a broker but does not disclose the details of your rebalances (eg. Exchange and prices where swapping occurs). Controversial to say the least.

- Platform does not provide real time graphs (lag of 10 min at least), not great for deciding around support and resistance levels.

- Users cannot even comment posts, so creating a one way communication and destroying the good created in terms of community creation done so far and possible interaction and question making to strategies managers.

- Iconomi mistakes (adoption of Luna USD and payback of shares through it) was never properly compensated nor acknowledged, not to users nor to shareholders. Now, after more than 5 yr from inception, Iconomi does not buy back its own shares, meanwhile operations as Triaconta acquisition was a failure, especially considering the original plan of (tokenised) company inception in Luxembourg.

- Altcoins are showing as the way of subtracting wealth from $BTC ecosystem, similarly to what happened with the ICO and successive Initial Private Offering when allocated money to 1 share (few ETH) now worth nothing as there is not even a buy back market from the company itself, while ETH worth almost a order of magnitude more.

We will monitor the evolution and keep you updated with our critical perspectives regarding what may be the evolutions of our services on the platform and our perspective on the platform itself.

📢 Update

BM Digital Assets Classification Standard (BM DACS)

As part of our regular review process, some assets have been added recently to @ICONOMI ,we have classified them according to our sector classification methodology.

The classification is reviewed periodically to keep pace with changes occurring in the crypto market and appropriate industry regulation.

After any update to any project, its classification will be modified based on the project’s white papers.

Radical changes:

◾We have modified our internal classification of the media and entertainment sector to include: content creation, gaming, music, sports, video, memes, social media platforms, search engines, prediction markets, gambling, non-fungible tokens, metaverse, augmented reality and virtual reality.

◾We have added a specific sector to keep pace with the changes taking place in the market: Asset-Backed Tokens

Asset-backed tokens are digital claims on a physical asset and backed by that asset.

Gold, crude oil, real estate, stocks, agricultural crops like coffee and cotton, or any other real or physical asset can be converted into a token and become an asset-backed token, or any digital claim to fiat currencies.

We will look at the outcome of the digitization of physical assets as part of this sector in the future, we look at the outcome of the process in this sector and not the ecosystem that supports the digitization of physical assets.

Currently: The assets listed on @ICONOMI that meet these criteria are $USDT, $USDC, $PAXG.

These tokens rely on trust from a third party, so be careful when holding one of these tokens.

You can take a look at our Digital Assets Classification Standard here.

Feel free to explore the changes and reach out if you have any questions or need further clarification.

We hope this helps you understand the crypto market in a simple way.

Thank you for your trust and continued support.

Best regards,
