CryptoCompare Releases July 2019 Exchange Review

Leading provider of cryptocurrency data and indices CryptoCompare released on Wednesday its July 2019 Exchange Review, providing analysis of key developments in the cryptocurrency exchange-traded market.

Of particular note, the Review showed that exchanges graded AA—according to the CryptoCompare Benchmark—saw monthly trading volumes jump by 29 percent compared to June. This increase was only enough to see AA-graded exchanges account for 5 percent of all exchange-traded volume, however. No time to digest the whole Review? CryptoCompare’s press release succinctly details its main findings.

July’s edition of the Exchange Review includes a number of first-time features including exchange benchmarking analysis (pages 7–10), trade data analysis (pages 11–14), and a case study written in partnership with TokenAnalyst focusing on BitMEX outflows (page 27).

According to an announcement on its blog, “Lolli users will receive $2.25 bitcoin back on every order using Postmates.com.” Also, first-time Postmates users will receive $18.00 worth of bitcoin back on their initial order.

SEC Registers Blockchain Startup As Transfer Agent for First Time

The first-of-its-kind announcement means an SEC-registered Securitize can now act as the official keeper of records about ownership changes with respect to securities. The Blockchain Capital- and Coinbase Ventures-backed startup is looking to disrupt the U.S. securities industry.
