Fluctuating Cryptocurrency Prices Are Wreaking Havoc on ICO-Funded Blockchain Startups
In the last three months, ethereum price as fallen by over 60%. This drop in price has directly affected the budget plans of every ETH-denominated token sale within this period.
Price volatility is a prominent aspect of the cryptocurrency ecosystem of today. While most ICOs executed in 2017 benefited from the significant surge in price across board, 2018 presents the direct opposite. However, startups and companies involved remain obligated to deliver on their promises.
Considering the uncertain nature of the crypto ecosystem, speed of execution is proving to be crucial in other to remain within predictable boundaries while executing a crypto-denominated crowdfunding exercise.
India-based startup Exioms Technologies claims to fast track processes involved in the prosecution of initial coin offerings (ICOs) for both startups and already established companies. This emerging technology and business innovation company announced in a press release that its services will enable clients to develop and launch Ethereum-based tokens in just a matter of hours.
The Complications of Running a Token Sale
Every ICO is comprised of a number of simultaneously moving parts that require a lot of resources to put them together. This process usually takes time, ranging from a couple of weeks to several months, in some cases.
Considering the extent of volatility in the token market and cryptocurrency ecosystem, things can change very quickly and original plans can be disrupted significantly over a short period of time. A typical example is seen in the ongoing UBEX token sale exercise where the deadline was extended by about six weeks and hard cap increased. The reason cited being due to the major slump in price of cryptocurrencies, especially ETH between the ICO launch date and present times.
The Importance of Speed
In consequence, today any system that promises to deliver speedy execution of the now popular crowdfunding system in the blockchain industry attracts reasonable attention. If accurately implemented, it could be the singular factor that differentiates between a successful project and otherwise, even long after a token sale.
The Exioms project claims to partner with businesses by offering a robust development and marketing service in order to enhance the launching process and online presentation in record time.
