FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary
NEW YORK, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a report published by Grand View Research, the global blockchain technology market size was valued at USD 604.5 Million in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 7.59 Billion by 2024, while growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 37.2% during the forecast period. The rapid growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for blockchain technology across financial services, consumer or industrial products, technology, media and telecom, healthcare, transportation, as well as public sectors. Blockchain was initially widely known as the technology that enabled the existence of cryptocurrency, whereas it is now used in various industries all over the world. The benefits of applying this technology include faster settlement and lower transaction risks. Chineseinvestors.com Inc. (OTC: CIIX), Overstock.com Inc.

Prohibitions on digital marketing for cryptocurrency eased in recent times. Last week, Facebook announced its plan to reverse a ban on cryptocurrency ads.

However, the Company will still prohibit ads that promote binary options and initial coin offerings. The cryptocurrency market is now valued at USD 234 Billion. According to CNBC, Matthew Newton, Analyst at eToro, said, "It needs something to get markets back to life, like some development on the technology or regulatory side."

Digatrade Financial Corp. (OTCQB: DIGAF) is a Digital Asset Exchange and Blockchain Development Services Company operated by Digatrade Financial Corp, a company with headquarters in Vancouver, Canada. Digatrade recently announced that the Canadian Securities Administrators is urging Canadians to be cautious when considering buying crypto assets through trading platforms. Even though a platform may call itself an "exchange," that does not mean it is complying with the securities regulatory regime. The CSA wants to make it clear: currently there are no crypto-asset trading platforms recognized as an exchange or otherwise authorized to operate as a marketplace or dealer in Canada. If a platform facilitates the trading of crypto assets or interests in crypto assets that are securities or derivatives, that platform is required to comply with securities legislation. "We want investors to understand that just because a platform may advertise itself as an exchange, that does not mean the platform is complying with applicable securities regulations," said Louis Morisset, Chair of the CSA and President and CEO of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers. "If it is not, investors should not expect to receive the same protections that are built into the securities regulatory framework applicable to exchanges or dealers and should, therefore, be cautious."
