Is blockchain the savior of the music industry? According to some, the advantages of using blockchain technology are endless. The technology could allow for an unprecedented level of transparent accounting and 'smart contract' fulfillment. On streaming music services, for example, artists and producers could enjoy total accountability, with splits pre-determined and instantly paid.
Cryptocurrencies are setting the world ablaze. These are the top five points of entry for their global takeover.

Just like in Reddit, users can post messages, and then upvote and downvote them. But this message board is different – instead of clicks, you have to send small amount of Bitcoin for each upvote or downvote. One Satoshi (a Satoshi is 0.00000001 BTC), one upvote (or downvote). What results is really a great demonstration of the decentralized nature of the blockchain – but also feels strangely metaphoric to the state of cryptocurrencies in general. It is totally devoid of censorship, runs completely on libertarian ideals, and the more Bitcoin you have – the more your vote counts.

Major U.S. crypto exchange and wallet provider Coinbase has announced that its digital assets custodian solution for institutional investors is now launched, in an official blog post July 2. Coinbase first revealed its plans for its ‘Coinbase Custody’ venture in late 2017, saying at the time that it was seeking to address what it considers to be the “number one” concern of institutional investors, namely, security.

Cure WorldCosplay is an international community with more than 720,000 members in 180 countries. Available in 12 languages, the company says it offers a platform for talented cosplayers, photographers and prop makers to showcase their work. More than 6.5 million images have been shared on its service to date, and in excess of 430,000 people follow the platform’s official social media accounts. In its white paper, Cure WorldCosplay explains that cosplayers have different goals for the future. While some aspire to become professional or gain more fans, others simply want a place where they can share their work with like-minded individuals. The company believes that satisfying all of these motivations can be an uphill struggle at times, with “challenges and roadblocks” often making it difficult for dreams to be fully realized.
An established cosplay platform with 720,000 members is undergoing a blockchain revamp to help the industry develop a sustainable economy.
Crowdfunding market has been disrupting the finance industry where people from across the world can participate in the early stages of startups that were previously served only for ultra-wealthy. Initial Coin Offerings (ICO), Token Sales, have become the next step for crowdfunding campaigns.

The cryptocurrency exchange called Octaex has disappeared. The last public announcement through their Telegram group and Twitter feed was posted on 31st of May at which time their total daily volume was over $10million according to Coinmarketcap.com
“The Bitfinex exchange was the target of a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack this morning,” Kasper Rasmussen, head of marketing, said in an e-mailed statement. “The exchange was offline for an hour following the DDoS attack; however, the exchange is back online now. The attack only impacted trading operations, and user accounts and their associated funds/account balances were not at risk at any point during the attack.”
Bitfinex, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, said it has resumed normal operations after suffering a so-called denial-of-service attack earlier.
The exchange might even help move the market. Since so many alt coins could only be purchased by way of bitcoin, the value of bitcoin and many other digital currencies were closely correlated. The value of those crypto units may now begin to decouple from bitcoin, Shihara said, as more investors transact in dollars. Currently, nearly 200 different digital coins can be traded on Bittrex. The CEO said that a "small, select number of launch partners" are working with the exchange to pay in dollars. "In this phase, we're stress-testing our system," he said. "We're working with the banks very closely to ensure that they can process the FIAT deposits and withdrawals. Also, the engine itself that we use to trade, is going to be able to properly handle the load."
GBX, which is a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX), plans to become one of the first licensed and regulated digital asset exchanges operated by an EU regulated stock exchange. This is possible thanks to a decision by the Gibraltar Parliament from December last year. The legislature voted unanimously to pass a bill to amend the Financial Services Act in order to regulate the crypto sector. The mechanism aimed at protecting customers of cryptocurrency businesses in Gibraltar went into effect on January 1 this year. The regulation targeted crypto and blockchain companies by introducing a licensing regime implemented by the Financial Services Commission of the British overseas territory. The providers of distributed ledger technology services are now obliged to adhere to the regulatory requirements of the Financial Services Act.
A new crypto trading platform providing services to institutional investors has made a soft launch in Europe. The Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX) has introduced 300 retail account holders and a select number of institutional participants to its platform.
After all, part of the appeal of cryptocurrencies is the idea of a decentralized internet — a platform where no single party controls the data. In that case, why do centralized platforms control the exchange of crypto assets? This is often referred to as a "dogfooding" problem, or not practicing what you preach. There are several operating DEXs matching and executing orders via smart contracts. The Waves DEX, for example, is currently handling about $6 million of daily trading volume. Others are still in the development or testing phases. The chart below tracks fundraising by some of the players in the space, including companies like 0x, which is building a protocol for DEXs:
With regulatory uncertainty looming over the industry, incumbents should not feel too comfortable at the top.
Today, Compound is announcing some ridiculously powerful allies for that quest. It’s just become the first-ever investment by crypto exchange juggernaut Coinbase’s new venture fund. It’s part of an $8.2 million seed round led by top-tier VC Andreessen Horowitz, crypto hedge fund Polychain Capital and Bain Capital Ventures — the startup arm of the big investment bank.
Compound wants to let you borrow cryptocurrency, or lend it and earn an interest rate. Most cryptocurrency is shoved in a wallet or metaphorically hidden under a mattress, failing to generate interest the way traditionally banked assets do. But Compound wants to create liquid money markets for cryp…

Decentralized exchanges could unlock the potential of blockchains, but they face pragmatic issues today in gaining the marketshare of alternatives.
"I believe that digital currencies will continue to persist it's just a matter of how long it will take for that space to mature," Friedman said. "Once you look at it and say, 'do we want to provide a regulated market for this?' Certainly Nasdaq would consider it."
Once the space matures, Nasdaq would consider becoming a digital currency exchange, according to the company's CEO.
