For the past couple of months I have not seen many projects worth investing in, hence the lack of postings. The market has definitely taken a turn and we’re seeing a lot less crappy projects getting funded which is a great thing. Below I have a small list of 3 projects which I think could have great potential depending on your risk tolerance. Keep in mind that I don’t know any of these projects pre ICO structure and therefore, investing in any of them will still carry a certain degree of risk regardless of how legitimate they are.

Rublix has been around since earlier this year and has built a nice presence since its inception. It’s a finance driven blockchain project based out of Western Canada. The concept is very unique to the industry and their plans to disrupt the finance space could lead to big things if they can execute efficiently. Markets these days are weighed down by misinformation, fake news and egotistic traders. The Rublix chain intends on solving these issues by making real-time market data accessible on its chain while integrating a public ledger to reveal traders true performance. Developers will be able to take advantage of Smart Contracts on the Rublix chain to create financial DApps without requiring Oracles to gather external market data resulting in high “gas/transaction” fees on all other platforms.

If Rublix can create a demand for their blockchain and proper algorithms to power their future DApps, their project should have great long term appreciation.

Bloom is a project built on the Ethereum blockchain for assessing credit risk through verification of identity and for attesting creditworthiness or staking credit on the blockchain. It is essentially a global decentralized credit scoring system. The project is a very ambitious venture which has the potential to become a highly successful and rewarding endeavor for the business and investors.

With the ambition comes a lot of risk. A substantial amount of challenges remain on the road map ahead. The biggest hurdle will be winning over institutional adoption, we all know that centralized systems currently work and introducing an entirely new method will not be simple. A small investment in this project could yield a lot of profit, if you have an appetite for risk this would be one of the best projects to bet on.

BANKEX is creating a new tokenization technology which utilizes blockchain to offer their complex Proof-of-Asset protocol for financial markets. BANKEX uses Ethereum Smart Contracts and may digitize various types of assets including real estate portfolios. They ensure that the asset is validated then turn it into a token followed by placing it on their market for trading. Liquidity in form of cryptocurrencies or even fiat money is only a click away from asset owners. It provides investors the access to capital and guarantee clear cash flow quickly.

Imagine selling a car without ever needing to meet the buyer in person. Bankex intends to make any asset a liquid asset through two sets of tokens. The first token is called a product token. If I am selling a car to you, you will receive the product token, which is essentially proof of ownership of the car. In exchange for selling the car, I will receive a Bankex token, which is essentially another form of cash. The project utilizes Oracles to gather reputable data for verification of assets. If BANKEX can successfully make this project become a mainstream application, it could very well be on the top of the DApp list. We do have to keep in mind though that this project is very ambitious and the adoption of the application will not be easy.
