A Breakdown of the ThinkCoin Whitepaper Pt 1/6
A Breakdown of the
ThinkCoin Whitepaper
Pt 1/6
Status Quo
Banks and other financial
establishments dominate the financial markets all over the world, some of these
dominating establishments have an unnecessary
influence on the price of assets all over the world, they also lack
transparency, and charge customers unfairly. New technology gives the
opportunity to deliver equality and better transparency to all participants in
the market. Other advantages of the new technology (blockchain) over financial
institutions include the following:
·
Presence of transparency during buying and
selling
·
Settlement of trades and funds are faster
·
There is flexibility when transferring trades
The Change
A brilliant and innovative multi
asset buy and selling network that will change trading and treat all
participants fairly. The network will be referred to as TradeConnect.
Individuals and institutions on this network will be able to trade directly
with each other at a reduced cost. Buying and selling will be settled
automatically on the blockchain and swift execution and recording are carried out off –chain bringing a change to
trading conducted by banks and other financial institutions.
ThinkMarkets: Change agents
The company has been able to grow
its revenues all over the word with at least
a 20% addition annually, all this without outside help. A global financial
services firm, they are plans in motion with the aim of making the
establishment the leading provider of blockchain-based buying and selling
solutions. Trade interceptor is a mobile buying and selling app that has been available for close to ten
years with over 500,000 registered users. The
tradeconnect network will leverage on the trade interceptor user
interface to give the network firm roots.
The vast experience and knowledge give
the administrators an edge in the extension and expansion of the TradeConnect
network.
How derivatives work
In theory, derivatives are
defined as anything two parties are willing to buy and sell from each other.
The value of the product being traded
will determine the contract and sometimes the product is never delivered physically, that is the contract may be settled
with cash. Contracts like this can be quite simple on one hand and too
complicated on the other but they share similarities despite their disparity.
TradeConnect’s goal is to change the way this marketplace operate by applying
the latest buying and selling technology and eliminating the middle men that
have undue influence on the market.
Market Size
The
market's size is very encouraging because there are tens of billions in traded
volume daily; there is a big chance for TradeConnect.
Current market challenges
·
It is not easy for participants to buy and sell
without involving a third party, limiting the marketplace. TradeConnect will
give individuals the opportunity to buy and sell within themselves, totally
removing brokers from the picture.
·
Lack of integrity and trust, clients need to
trust their brokers when buying and selling. While most brokers follow the
normal procedures during trading, some others are dishonest. Twisting the rules
and regulations of the present marketplace to their own advantage for personal
gains.
·
Managing client money, clients have to deposit
their funds with the broker and hope they
are no mistakes when handling the funds leaving the clients at the mercy of
many unregulated brokers that fail to provide adequate protections for their
clients. Participants do not have to be bothered about the settlement of funds or their money being used
up by a broker when using the TradeConnect network because all assets are
verified on the blockchain with the use of TCO.
·
Inefficient payment and settlement, trade
settlements take a lot of time in the current design of investing, buying and
selling. The financial establishment also
experiences collapse or failure in
operation, this collapse mostly lead to individuals losing all their money. Buying
and selling on blockchain via the TradeConnect network with TCO as a method of settlement will reduce the risk of clients
losing their money due to collapse.
·
Lack of transfer-ability, when a broker is
involved in buying and selling, the derivatives from the trade might not be
transferable. The terms of the contract are solely between the broker and the
client, reducing the potential for the
trade and increasing costs. This reduces flexibility because it is harder for
participants in the market to transfer positions or trades. The new technology
will bring a new look to the system as it allows its users to buy and sell from
other users on the network, giving them the opportunity to transfer their
positions any time they want.
