The Liquid future awaits…





Along with the entire global network of cryptocurrency exchanges





He is a very lonely man.

For thousands of miles in all directions, he is alone.

From a server in Lagos, Nigeria, Tim Akinbo broadcasts the only Bitcoin node in all of West and Central Africa, according to Vice.

Not for long.





The Race to Connect the Globe

Do you know what I was doing last weekend? Nothing fun, at first. Then nothing I expected to be doing.

It began when I was researching SoftBank, a Japanese holding company. SoftBank is invested in a variety of big name, interesting projects. It is also where Mike, CEO of QUOINE came from.

From there I stumbled onto the topic of low-orbit satellites. SoftBank invested in a company called OneWeb, whose goal is “to provide global Internet connectivity.”







“This is a big damn deal. Only 40% of the world’s population has internet access right now. (Live stats here.) Of the fortunate ones that do have access, my guess is nearly 100% complain about either their provider, their provider’s prices, or both. So a better option is gonna be huge.”





To blanket the globe with lower-cost broadband, OneWeb will deploy a global network of 720 low-Earth orbit satellites (aka, LEO satellites). Explains OneWeb:

In 2018 we will launch an initial 10 production satellites, which, pending a detailed test regimen, will become the first of our fleet. Six months later we will begin our full launch campaign and start providing low latency broadband access as early as 2019.

Beam Down World Book

Meanwhile, in the cryptocurrency world…

QUOINE has been working on a single globally-sourced trading platform World Book with an associated suite of services Prime Brokerage. The aim? To bring together the entire global network of cryptocurrency exchanges to beam the highest level of liquidity to all markets anywhere on the planet.

This, too, is a big damn deal.







“There is some coincidence between countries with poor internet infrastructure and unstable currencies. The people who are in direct need of cryptocurrency are those who currently have unstable access to cryptocurrency.”





This project (aka LIQUID Platform) will address that problem, and, hopefully, will allow many more people to use cryptocurrency.

Global Internet Access + Cryptocurrency + Liquid

Our world may soon have dramatically more people with access to broadband and cryptocurrency. Both are fundamental game-changers. There is potential for enhanced peace and prosperity on the planet, if you’re an optimist. But as is the lifeblood of any industry, any economy and any individual business, Liquidity is vital to the health and growth of the worldwide crypto-economy.

Here is one possibility, with distributed financial ecosystem as the example.

With access to the internet, and access to a global currency like Bitcoin, anyone, anywhere, needs a convenient way to turn their cryptocurrency to fiat and vice versa.

Currently, the liquidity landscapes for the crypto-economy are fragmented. Furthermore, the best prices for a given trading pair can shift from one exchange to another. At any particular time, the best deal to buy Bitcoin might be in the US. Within the next hour, it might be in Asia or Europe. Besides, the various cryptocurrency exchanges are Liquidity Silos. They are liquid in some pairs, but their liquidity is only accessible to clients of that exchange.

And while most of the exchanges offer liquidity in only highly liquid currencies (USD, EUR, CNY, JPY, etc.), there is no convenient and highly-liquid options for holders of minor currencies such as CAD, NZD, SGD, PHP, IDR, etc.

Separately, each market’s liquidity remains small, but collectively they represent a large untapped source of liquidity.

LIQUID will allow for an unparalleled and powerful suite of trading services to everybody, everywhere on the planet, by bringing together all the major reputable exchanges worldwide and making them accessible.

The World Book is built on top of QUOINE’s existing Matching Engine, Smart Order Routing, and Cross Currency Conversion Engine technologies. It becomes a multi-market order book that combines every liquidity source in the world into a single highly liquid tradable order book, in any currency a user chooses. The Prime Brokerage offers Direct Market Access (DMA), Fiat Management, Crypto/Fiat Credit facility, and Real Time Reporting.

The LIQUID Platform combines its World Book and Prime Brokerage with high-end services such as System Co-Location, Automated Trading Strategies, “Crowd-Sourced” AI-driven Algorithms, and QUOINE’s advanced proprietary Trading Tools.

The geo-arbitrage potential could bring cryptocurrency and blockchain to more places. The process would circumvent common geographic, geo-political, or other economic obstacles.

Think of all the people who could benefit.

Someone like Tim Akinbo.

Maybe someone like you.
