Investors rush into new 'blockchain' ETFs, pouring in $240 million in a single week

Amplify Transformation Data Sharing ETF leaped to $164.9 million Wednesday from just $2 million a week ago.

The Reality Shares Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF multiplied just over nine times in a week to $86.27 million.

"It is rare for new ETFs to pull in such a large amount of cash," Todd Rosenbluth of CFRA writes in an email, "but there has been pent-up demand for a thematic approach to gain exposure to Blockchain."

The cryptocurrency craze is finally flowing into the exchange-traded funds business.

Investors poured about $240 million into two blockchain-focused ETFs since their launch last week, according to the latest available data from FactSet. Blockchain is the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The surge of interest came even as bitcoin, the largest digital currency by market capitalization, stagnated in price in the last week. Bitcoin has fallen nearly 7 percent in the last week to about $10,800 Friday on Coinbase, the leading U.S. exchange for major cryptocurrencies.

ps the future might be already here. Gla ;-)

Blockchain Today

Where, then, should we situate blockchain on this curve? Many believe we are already in the "early majority" phase of exponential growth, and that we are on the cusp of full adoption. I wish to temper expectations and introduce more nuance into the equation. It is important that we examine the issue of blockchain adoption from two different angles: investments and technology.

On the investments front, blockchain has indeed reached the level of "early majority." More and more capital, both institutional and household, is being poured into cryptocurrencies today. In 2017 alone, the total crypto market capitalization ballooned from 18 billion dollars to more than half a trillion dollars. Coinbase, the online exchange for buying and selling digital currency, recently reached more than 10 million users worldwide and became the most downloaded app on the U.S. Apple Store.

Online wallet and portfolio tracking apps like imToken from China and CoinManager from Korea have also seen exponential expansion in their user base. In Korea, one of the largest crypto markets in the world, more than one-third of salaried workers are investors. CBOE and CME, two of the world’s largest financial exchanges, took the unprecedented step of launching Bitcoin futures last month. Across the globe, more than 2000 Bitcoin ATMs have sprouted up. The signs are clear.

True indeed and every company in existence is now a dot com. Gl ;-)

[rettens] 26/1/2018 14:39

dotcom didn't end when a few tiny companies like this jumped on the bandwagon.

It ended when some of those tiny companies entered the FTSE 100.

Well worth grabbing some of these before they take off.

[montyhedge] 26/1/2018 13:47

Reminds me of the .com boom and bust, companies changed their names to have .com in them, investors piled in.

Starbucks places a downpayment on a Blockchain vision

By Stuart LauchlanJanuary 26, 2018

SUMMARY:

Starbucks took a long term bet on digital a long time ago. Now attention is turning to the future of payment tech, including securing a role as a trust legitimiser for Blockchain.

Mobile payments in Starbucks US business now accounts for fast approaching a third of total tender. This is hugely significant, argues CEO Kevin Johnson, and leads in turn to exploration of new payment models and methods:

The ubiquity of mobile and credit card payment is enabling us to begin an exploration of cashless stores in the US. We expect payment methods will continue to evolve with acceptance increasingly becoming the global currency of the future.

Building on partnerships with companies like Chase, Tencent, Alibaba and others, enables us to explore new ideas that leverage our digital assets, global retail footprint and global customer base with the digital payment platforms of today, while also monitoring the landscape of potential payment platforms of the future.

Through our Rewards program, we continue to drive increases in per member spend by leveraging personalized offerings and suggested selling to our customers.

By expanding capacity at peak, we have now the ability to offer Mobile Order and Pay to our non-Rewards customers and will begin accelerating the ramp up of Mobile Order and Pay to all customers beginning in March. We are accelerating our marketing engagement to expand digital customer relationships.
