Dan Morehead, the founder and head of Pantera Capital, an American investment company, stressed that he no longer worries about the future of the blockchain technology, as he did during the fall of the market in 2014 and 2015.

"I think the underlying fundamentals are much much stronger than they were in the 2014-15 crypto winter," Morehead expressed his opinion in an interview with former Forbes editor Laura Shin.

PayPal co-founder Luke Nosek during his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos said that the project team initially planned to create a digital currency that would have technological advantages similar to cryptocurrencies, namely independence from banks and the government.

Answering a question about whether PayPal and WeChat Pay solved a problem related to online transactions, or perhaps cryptocurrency can deal with it, Nosek said:

"Many people don't know this, but the initial mission of PayPal was to create a global currency that was independent of interference by these, you know, corrupt cartels of banks and governments that were debasing their currencies. "

As the cryptocurrency market's bearish trend of 2018 slowly begins to show signs of easing, the foundations for new trends are being forged. Now entering its second decade, the blockchain ecosystem continues to mature and is manifesting itself in increased cryptocurrency adoption.

Currently there are several online platforms that allow people to buy cryptocurrencies with traditional fiat currency for daily use via bank transfer or card. However, as not all platforms support the same currencies, crypto or otherwise, these options often require multiple accounts. The required disclosure of personal data, as well as the difficult and cumbersome handling of the different platforms, is time consuming and inefficient.

Binance, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, announced the launch of its own over-the-counter trading platform (OTC), intended for trading large volumes of cryptocurrencies.

Binance representatives stressed that the new platform will not support trade in fiat funds - transactions can only be made in cryptocurrencies.

This week, Binance introduced a new trading platform on the island of Jersey, through which residents of the European island will be able to buy Bitcoins for euros and pounds. The new site based on the infrastructure of Binance, but framed as a separate company.
