The future of decentralised cryptocurrencies in the processing of financial transactions for large conglomerates, as well as cross-border payments, seem bleak as fluctuations in the base value of the currencies have started to become a regular norm.

Hence, the ‘Digitized-Currency’ industry has turned its focus towards becoming a more robust structural entity, which has finally given rise to ‘Asset Backed Tokens’.

Apart from fluctuations, certain ICOs and Cryptocurrencies have also started attracting the attention of legislative bodies on the grounds of being fraudulent or opaque. The most recent probe would be by the Korean authorities into an ICO named as Shinil Group, who are claiming to have found the wrecked Russian ship ‘Dimitri Donskoi’ from the early 20th century, with promises of shared profits from the ruins to all the investors.

Other such innovative tokens and technologies will be present at the upcoming World Blockchain Summit Dubai Edition. The event will host over 1,000 delegates, startups, investors and technology experts at the luxurious Jumeirah Estate Towers, Dubai....
