How XResearch Helps The Crypto Community Make Better Decisions
The immaturity of the crypto industry has given rise to high volatility, market manipulation, and unrealistic valuations. Combine that with ever-changing worldwide regulations, and it’s evident major issues remain for this new asset class.
A clear solution to these problems would be better professional guidance for investors and traders. This is where XResearch can play a key role.
The problem with crypto investing today
Popular strategies like “buying the dip” and “HODLing” aren’t the most effective or the most ideal, given market conditions and volatility. More sophisticated tools and content are needed for institutional investors and traders to enter the market confidently.
For retail investors, tremendous risk exists without proper tools and guidance. Although lots of folks made incredible amounts of money with cryptocurrencies in 2017, as total market value jumped from $17.7 billion in early January to $572.9 billion by year’s end, there are plenty of stories of those who lost it all trading cryptocurrencies.
For example, if you had invested $100,000 during Bitcoin’s peak in December 2017, that same investment would only have been worth $37,000 by February 2018 (over a 60% loss).
All investors interested in crypto require more in-depth research and better tools to minimize risk, maximize gains, and — most importantly — avoid destructive losses.
XResearch fills the gap in crypto research
While sites like Coin Telegraph provide lots of valuable info for cryptocurrencies, blockchain firms and ICOs, their content doesn’t deliver the real-time analysis and professional research that’s provided by market research platforms, such as a Bloomberg Terminal.
In short, there is no real crypto research firm to support investor and trader decisions. This has created a marketplace that’s driven almost entirely by emotion and manipulation, rather than analysis and objectivity.
For professional investors who’d like to diversify their portfolios and enter the crypto industry, a lack of good research is keeping them from pulling the trigger. They need better guidance to make smarter, more objective decisions.
XResearch empowers professional and retail investors and traders by filling this glaring gap in the markets — and by serving as the world’s first decentralized crypto, STO and blockchain research firm.
The ‘source of truth’ for crypto research
Led by a team of finance, investment research and blockchain technology professionals with more than 30 years of experience at institutions like PIMCO, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, and Merrill Lynch, XResearch is building a transparent, crypto investment research platform designed to empower traders to make more effective decisions.
Here’s how XResearch aims to become the go-to source of information for all things crypto:
- Hiring a world-class, editorial team to produce accurate, timely information covering crypto, blockchain, and ICO-related investments
- Publishing professional research from the core XResearch team to our members website that including an event calendar, 24/7 data feeds, market quotes, indices, and heat maps
- Incentivizing community contributors to produce their own independent research and get paid for it in XRES tokens, other approved cryptocurrencies, and eventually fiat currencies
Our crypto investment research platform will attract, identify, and empower the best investment research talent around the world by providing them the right tools and target audience.
Similar to publications that crowdsource content, our publication portal will have a section for contributor content, which will be ranked by traffic and engagement metrics, accuracy scores, and even automated member voting.
A 21st-century research platform and publication
Think of XResearch as CoinDesk meets SeekingAlpha, but with the added benefits blockchain technology brings to the table. Running on the Ethereum framework, our platform will provide*:
- Greater visibility: Keep an audit trail of your investment performance, providing you with an immutable record of your trades
- More efficiency: Get in-depth research through encrypted messaging (Tier 1 members) and real-time data feeds for faster, smarter decision-making (Tier 2 members). Also, link trading activity across various cryptocurrency exchanges to capitalize on trades when the time is right (Tier 3).
- Better security: Get anonymous private and public keys for signing off on linked trading activity (Tier 3).
*There are three levels of services offered to paying members: tiers 1,2 and 3. Read here for detailed information on services offered at each level.
We want all XRES token holders to focus on what matters most in investing: making the best, most informed decisions.
How can XRES token holders earn money?
All Tier 2 and above XRES Token holders can contribute their own content to our website, and can also apply to become verified contributors. Approval depends on both the quality and accuracy of contributed content.
If approved, verified contributors can set up a smart contract to charge subscription fees for their research, just like the core XResearch team. Payment will be made in our XRES token, other approved coins (like ETH) and even certain fiat currencies.
Between the research published by our editorial arm, the core XResearch team, and our verified contributors, XRES token holders and the public at large will have access to the best research being produced.
That’s because contributor content and data will be rigorously vetted by our expert team, the larger XRES community, and an immutable record of performance. Moreover, performance audit trails ensure that XRES token holders can see whose ideas and strategies are working (and whose aren’t).
XResearch is the first investment research firm of its kind
By bringing the best internal and external talents together on a blockchain-powered platform, XResearch aims to give crypto traders the right tools and real-time research to make better investments — something we believe every investor deserves.
We’re hard at work developing a blockchain-powered, community-driven investment research platform for the crypto world. Our goal is to empower XRES token holders to participate in our platform and profit from their great ideas.
