Just 1 day is left till the end of LAT Token Sale – one of the biggest ICOs of this autumn. LAToken has already raised $18,5+ million from 11,000 contributors, becoming #1 among tokenization platforms.

Bringing Real Assets onto Blockchain

Almost two months ago, LAToken tokenized Apple shares, making hard assets tradable in cryptocurrency for the first time in history. That day was the starting point for bringing assets worth trillions onto blockchain. LAToken started with shares of blue chips, such as Tesla and Amazon, safe haven assets, like gold, commodities, like oil, and real estate tokens, backed by ETFs. They are already traded on the LAT Platform. And other assets, ranging from equity to real estate and artworks, will be added soon.

“We believe crypto can dominate the global economy, and to bring the crypto expansion to multi-trillion markets closer, we enabled cryptocurrencies to be widely used in the real economy. Our idea attracted thousand of supporters making LAToken #1 among tokenization platform by funds raised,” – says Valentin Preobrazhenskiy, founder of LAToken. He also mentions that his dream is to build Nasdaq on blockchain with a wider range of assets tradable 24/7 globally.

His words match LAToken team’s actions. They already deployed an open LAT Protocol that allows 3rd parties to tokenize almost anything. The protocol ensures that the link between the token and the underlying asset is legally and technically enforceable, and enables P2P contractual rights transfer. As a result, assets worth $1.2 trillion can be traded on the LAT Platform by 2025.

Game-Changing Platform

Trading real assets on blockchain has many upsides. First of all, it provides you with an opportunity to diversify crypto portfolio without converting to fiat. While cryptocurrencies remain one the most volatile, yet attractive investments, LAToken helps you get exposure to real assets using your crypto holdings. Imagine, you can buy a piece of Mona Lisa, or a fraction of a French castle, and sell it with profit in a few years. Looks like the best way to navigate the crypto markets volatility storm today.

Secondly, LAToken enables small investors to get access to previously closed markets. For example, the entrance level for real estate and artworks markets stands at thousands of dollars. Even if you see an amazing investment opportunity, you wouldn’t be able to invest without a considerable starting capital. LAToken changes that by selling assets by fractions. You will get the chance to start investing in real estate and art with just $100.

Owners of illiquid assets, in their turn, get the opportunity tokenize them and sell by fractions with a liquidity premium estimated at 10–40%. “Businesses succeed, if they provide a solution to a problem which affects a large market. Finding liquidity for illiquid assets is a trillion dollar market. LAToken has found a solution to this global problem,” says Mitchell Manoff, Co-Founder and CEO of Corinthian Partners and LAToken Advisor with 42 years of experience in finance.

Finally, fiat traders can prefer LAToken to NASDAQ due to lower transaction costs and 24/7 availability and a wider range of available assets.

A lot of people would assume altcoins to gain in value once they have recovered from the current Bitcoin price action. It is unclear when that will happen exactly, though. Things are not looking all that great for the Litecoin price right now, that much is evident. Despite a push to $54.43 less than a day ago, the price reversed to $48.7 all of a sudden. It will be interesting to see what this Litecoin price momentum brings in the coming days.

The Litecoin Price is a Rollercoaster

It is evident the cryptocurrency markets will go through a very volatile period over the next few hours and days. Every time the Bitcoin price goes up in a significant manner, altcoins will tend to suffer for an extended period of time. Right now, most alternative currencies are trying to keep losses to a minimum, but that is a lot easier said than done under the current circumstances. Litecoin is doing a good job, though, as the Litecoin price has “only” dropped by 3.23% in the past 24 hours.

That being said, any sort of loss during this current Bitcoin price trend is to be expected. While a lot of altcoin supporters may not necessarily like to see this happen, it is something no currency can escape right now. The Litecoin price is still sitting at $50 or slightly above that price, even though many enthusiasts would have expected it to be well above $75 right now. That may still happen, though, depending on how the markets evolve in the next few days and weeks.

For the Litecoin price, the past week has been filled with both hope and despair accordingly. The week started off great with a quick rise to $52.5, although it didn’t last long. Despite two brief dips, the price eventually surpassed $54, which was considered to be a rather positive sign. For some unknown reason, people started pushing the Litecoin price down to $48.7 all of a sudden, although the dip was bought pretty quickly.

With the Litecoin price now hovering around $50, it will be even more interesting to see what the future will hold. One thing worth keeping an eye on is the Litecoin trading volume, as it is anything but spectacular right now. More specifically, with just $147.35m over the past 24 hours, Litecoin is seemingly struggling a bit.

With the Chinese exchanges almost out of the picture, this lower volume is to be expected, though. Litecoin’s current biggest markets are GDAX, Bitfinex, and Bithumb. It is interesting to see GDAX at the top of this list for a change, as their LTC/USD trading pair brings in $22.36m. A positive sign, though, as it shows the Litecoin demand is strong in the fiat currency markets right now.

Although the Litecoin price is lower than it could – or perhaps should – be at this rate, there is no reason to grow concerned just yet. Good things will come to those who are patient. Unfortunately, patience is difficult to come by in the world of cryptocurrency these days. In a few days or weeks from now, people may look back at the LTC price of $50 and wonder why they didn’t buy more.

Today begins CryptoTickets’ ICO, an Ethereum-based blockchain platform for ticket systems and event organizers. It is trying to solve ticket touting, fraud, and counterfeiting by utilizing the immutable ledger of the blockchain.

Event organizers, ticket distribution platforms, and secondary marketplaces have struggled to deal with ticket counterfeiting and fraud for many years. For instance, earlier in 2017, thousands of Ed Sheeran fans were denied entry to the Ed Sheeran concert due to the tickets they had purchased on secondary marketplaces. The fans purchased tickets from unverified sellers at a value eight times higher than the face value, and received counterfeit tickets in return.

In an interview with Forbes, Sandy Khaund, former executive at Microsoft, Intel, Turner Broadcasting and InStadium, further revealed:

“It happens a lot [ticket fraud]. Last year at game seven of the NBA Western Conference championship between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder, 86 people got rejected at the gate with tickets they’d bought from StubHub. At least StubHub has a money-back guarantee but those people didn’t get to go to the game.”

Essentially, the CryptoTickets blockchain platform is trying to solve the rapidly increasing cases of ticket fraud and counterfeiting in various industries. By using the Ethereum blockchain, a decentralized and peer-to-peer infrastructure developed specifically for decentralized applications, the CryptoTickets blockchain is capable of embedding the cryptographic proof of each ticket on smart contracts, which are eventually broadcasted to the Ethereum blockchain.

“At the moment, the ticket sale market survives numerous problems, such as speculation in the secondary market, fraud and ticket falsification, incomplete sales and a lack of a consolidated tool for tickets return. These are the basic topics for all industry conferences across the globe. The blockchain technology will eliminate these problems, simplifying interaction between all market players and ensuring complete transparency of industry. The Parties no longer need to trust each other as all deals are done right on the blockchain, and the interaction between them is regulated by smart-contracts.”

Financial structure of the CryptoTickets platform

But, in the future, the CryptoTickets development stated that it could migrate to EON, due to some of the scalability issues of Ethereum.

“The smart contract is operating in a test environment for gas economy considerations, that’s a common issue of Ethereum platform in the market, that’s why we are looking towards other platforms currently emerging in the market to develop the production version. We are looking forward for cooperation with EON,” said CryptoTickets.

In the upcoming months, the CryptoTickets development team is expected to focus on the finalization of its backend blockchain platform and launch its user-friendly mobile application on major app distribution marketplaces to acquire an active userbase of artists, contractors, partners, and consumers. If CryptoTickets succeed in evolving as a popular events and tickets distribution platform in the music industry, it would allow blockchain technology to demonstrate its potential in commercial use cases and large-scale markets.

On October 5, the CryptoTickets initial coin offering (ICO) will be conducted, throughout a period of four weeks. The minimal threshold has been set at $23 million and if it is met, TKT tokens will be released. Investors and traders will be able to purchase TKT tokens with Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin, and Bitcoin Cash. On the first two days of the ICO, the investors will get a 20% bonus to their tokens, 10% bonus on the third and fourth days, and 5% bonus on the next three days. On the rest of the days, the tokens will be sold with no bonuses.
