The “tokenization of everything” hits a speed bump

“TOKENIZE THE WORLD” was the ICO battle cry of 2017 and the subsequent drive to democratize art, real estate, cars, securities, and more, has enabled people to buy a token representing the value of any asset you can care to imagine.

So why are we talking about detokenization? The Digipulse CEO recently announced that 98% of all tokens connected to the project would be burned because the issued tokens are being used for speculative investment and not the built in platform. This is an issue for MANY tokenized projects. Will other companies follow suit? Read our entire piece Is Mass Detokenization On The Way.

The overall cryptocurrency market was rather stable this week floating between $205bln to $207bln representing a 1% increase, with an obvious pump and dump yesterday. Fun times ya’ll. But look closer and you will note the top 5 struggled, being held up by the King, Bitcoin.

Bitcoin (BTC): Crypto twitter was all over the place this week. $3k Targets, $11 targets, people capitulating, etc. Very entertaining. Week to week price action found a channel between $6,300 and $6,500, then pumped to $6,680 and subsequently dumped back to $6,400. Not taking into account the PnD Bitcoin experienced 1.5% growth.

Ethereum (ETH): There’s been little love for Ethereum this month. Down 45% since July 24th, there doesn’t seem to be any reprieve in sight for Vitalik’s love child. ETH currently sits at $274 as of this post experiencing a decline of 6% week to week. Curse you ICOs!!
