REVAIN is excited to announce the conclusion of crowdsale that ended as scheduled on September 6, at 12 P.M. NY with 2108 BTC accumulated. The blockchain feedback platform started exchanging tokens on August 21st, 2017. Distribution of tokens has been completed. The results will be announced in a later release.  

The R token price during the sale was 0,000011 BTC, the minimum contribution was 0, 003 BTC. REVAIN thanks all the investors and bounty program participants for the support.

The team will be allocating collected funds according to the initial plan: the majority –  55% – will go to marketing, i.e. bringing new businesses and users to the platform; another 15% – for R&D purposes, 20% – to the team and to support the platform, the remaining 10% – for infrastructure and indirect expenses.

REVAIN’s CEO Rinat Arslanov elaborated further on development aspirations: “We believe that there is a huge potential in online reviews. However, according to our research, there haven’t been any previous attempts of creating similar services on blockchain. Revain has developed a totally different format of communication between a user and a company. The company is to reward users for reasoned feedback given that the reviews are authentic and can’t be deleted or changed at a later stage.”  

After the end of crowdsale Revain is heading to cryptocurrency exchanges. Currently negotiations are carried out with Bittrex, Bitflip, Yobit, Novaexchange, Gatecoin, DABTC, Kraken, Kuna, Bitx-south-africa, Livecoin, Btcchina, Okcoin, Bitfinex, Poloniex. As to the product itself, the first test version of the platform is to start functioning this fall. The release of the platform is planned for the fourth quarter of 2017. REVAIN’s tech-team is working on a web-interface to be launched by then.

Chinese Bitcoin Exchanges Will Likely Not Be Banned After All

Over the past week, inaccurate news regarding the supposed ban on Chinese bitcoin exchanges from mainstream media outlets in China and the US including Caixin, WSJ and Bloomberg shook the bitcoin market.

Almost immediately after the release of Caixin’s report, bitcoin price endured a minor correction, falling to around $4,100. Despite showing signs of recovery, follow up reports from WSJ, Bloomberg and other western news publications led the bitcoin price to decrease to $3,790.

While some analysts speculate that the baseless criticism from JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon led to the minor correction of bitcoin, bitcoin experts including Blockstream CEO Adam Back stated that attributing the decline in bitcoin price to the statement of Dimon is far fetched, mostly because Dimon has continued to criticize bitcoin since 2014. Back explained:

“I doubt Dimon had any impact. Reaction is just china. I’ve been buying the ‘china bans bitcoin’ dip every time, each time move is smaller.”

What Will Happen to Chinese Exchanges?

On September 13, a statement from China’s National Internet Finance Association (NIFA) translated by Bitcoin.com read that Chinese cryptocurrency exchanges have no legal authority to operate at the moment and that exchanges have received many warnings in the past.

However, NIFA, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) and local financial regulators will not ban bitcoin exchanges. In the near future, regulators intend to release a licensing program to provide Chinese exchanges a properly regulated ecosystem to operate in. Hence, in the upcoming weeks, Chinese exchanges will likely face stricter regulations and policies but will not be banned or suspended.

In a regulatory standpoint, the Chinese bitcoin exchange ban rumors could positively affect Chinese exchanges moving forward, as the government will prepare a set of regulatory frameworks that will grant local trading platforms with legal status and authority to operate within the country.

According to Bitcoin.com, many regional news publications have also stated that the ban will only apply to fraudulent projects and exchanges that are not on par with industry standards and regulations. Leading exchanges like Huobi, OKCOin and BTCC, the three largest bitcoin exchanges in China, will likely be eligible to file for a license if and when the Chinese government officially introduces its new set of regulations for the bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange market.

NIFA, PBoC, local financial regulators and regional news publications have clarified that bitcoin is not illegal and that the government is planning on providing a licensing program for bitcoin exchanges in the upcoming months. Several bitcoin exchanges that are not eligible for licensing due to poor Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) systems and the failure to comply with existing regulations could face temporary suspension.

However, as of now Chinese financial regulators are focusing on providing stricter regulations and licensing program to exchanges, not on imposing a nationwide ban on bitcoin exchanges.
