In August, we launched our new DAA Strategy Insights series to provide a behind-the-scenes look into DAA management, upgraded our trading engine, integrated a new exchange, and much more.

ICONOMI Platform Anniversary

August 1 was the one-year anniversary of the ICONOMI platform. To celebrate, we designed an interactive infographic looking back on what we accomplished during the platform’s first year.

New DAA

On August 2, we introduced a new DAA — Rindex: The Robustness Index (RIX). RIX uses benchmarks based on computational power and robustness to track the cryptocurrency market. Follow the team on their website and on Twitter.

DAA Insights Interviews

DAA Strategy Insights

On August 17, we published the first interview in our new DAA Strategy Insights series with Roger Wurzel of Sustainable Crypto Selection. Roger explained his thoughts on Bitcoin dominance, the reasoning behind his last rebalance, and his thoughts on Stellar, which he had recently added to SCS.

We published the second edition of the series, with Menno Peter Pietersen, on August 29. Menno discussed his latest rebalance, why he removed his TrueUSD hedge, and other topics.

DAA Manager Insights

In our DAA Manager Insights series, we released a two-part interview with Dan Verowski of Third Eye Array, who weighed in on the Bitcoin vs. Bitcoin Cash debate, Ethereum’s move to proof of stake, and many other topics.

First DAA Manager Tutorial Video

On August 21, we released our first tutorial video, explaining how to rebalance a DAA for new DAA managers. We will be releasing further videos in the future, making it easy for DAA managers to see the benefits and functionalities of new features and tools for DAA management. We will also be releasing tutorial videos for users.

Trading Engine Upgrade

On August 14, we announced a major technology upgrade and one of the biggest milestones on our 2018 roadmap. The new trading engine allows for faster and more robust processing, enhancing DAAs by allowing greater volume in a shorter period of time.

DAA Rebalancing Page

In mid-August we released a new DAA manager rebalancing page that allows our DAA managers to propose their preferred digital assets and assigned weights with just a few clicks.

New Exchange Integrated

We integrated a new exchange and plan on integrating at least two more by the end of Q3. Each new integration enables us to get better rates, a wider range of digital assets, and better overall system stability.

Volleyball Team Sponsorship

We are proud to be sponsoring a team of two promising Slovenian beach volleyball players, the Zemljak/Pokeršnik beach volleyball team, which placed second at the FIVB Beach Volleyball Tour 1 Star Ljubljana 2018 tournament. Their mission is to attend the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, and ICONOMI is helping them on their journey.

Events

Phoenix Decentralized Solutions of the Phoenix Paradigm Indicator DAA hosted a workshop in Utrecht. The PPI team helped beginners take their first steps into the crypto-economy by sharing strategies and tips for getting started and by conducting a live demonstration.

Upcoming

On September 6, the ICONOMI team will be attending DAA manager ArabFolio.Capital’s Millions Camp in Antalya, Turkey. Head of DAAs Jure Sutar, COO Matej Tomazin, Gregor Zupanc of the Solidum Prime DAA, and Dr. Achim Illner of the Global Crypto One DAA will give presentations to introduce ICONOMI to the Arab world.

We are also exhibiting at Consensus: Singapore, which will take place September 18–20 in Singapore.

We are preparing for DELTA Summit 2018, one of the biggest events of Q4 2018.

Head of DAAs Jure Sutar will be revisiting Kuwait to speak on the future of asset management at Kuwait Fintech from October 23 to October 25.

What’s next?

As our supporters know, we are constantly gathering feedback from DAA managers and the ICONOMI community. A recent example is the DAA sentiment survey we conducted this week and the Twitter poll asking our users the same question. At DELTA Summit, we will be launching an innovative project to measure the sentiment of the conference’s audience of crypto experts and enthusiasts. Stay tuned for more.
