Stratis is arguably one of the most promising projects in the ecosystem. The course of STRAT, the native cryptocurrency of this platform dedicated to the creation of blockchain applications, flamed at the beginning of the year.
x 1600 since the ICO
Among the investors who decided to bet on Stratis, some complain: the teams would not be sufficiently involved in promoting the project . However, they have said for a long time that this is not yet their priority, and they preferred, for the moment, focus their efforts on the development of their platform .
We remember that the first Stratis were sold as part of an ICO , conducted in June 2016. And savers who participated must certainly not regret their choice: the price of STRAT has since been multiplied by 1600 , in from $ 0.007 to $ 11.76.
Stratis, a sleeping giant
That night, a Reddit user reported that the cryptocurrency had been integrated with Payza , a Canadian payment service provider.
But this news does not seem to have had any effect on the price of STRAT - an asset known as " sleeping giant " by some investors, who believe that the platform deserves much better than its current valuation, about 1.16 billion dollars .
At the same time, the digital currency was still down sharply compared to its historical record against Bitcoin , recorded in June 2017, when the STRAT had managed to cross the threshold of 0.004 BTC.
But investors were probably more worried about the recent fall of Stratis, in dollar terms. At the time of writing this article, it was a decline of nearly 45% for the digital asset since it exceeded the threshold of 21 dollars on January 8th.
Stratis could be found on the South Korean site Upbit (whose price was not taken into account by CoinMarketCap), as well as on Bittrex , Binance and Poloniex .
It is likely that higher trading volumes could help the asset to set new records. But at the same time, it was relatively difficult for new investors to enter this market , while Bittrex had tightened its identity verification requirements, and Binance limited the number of accounts that could be created.
From "development" to "business development"
Stratis PlatformStratis could also benefit from the arrival of its first two ICOs , which should be conducted on the platform in the coming weeks.
Chris Trew , the founder of Stratis, said he was seeing a rise in interest in his platform in the United States, but also in the Netherlands.
He told the Block.News website that he was also developing technologies for Bitcoin ( Breeze Wallet ). The reason ? He believes that the assets of Satoshi Nakamoto should remain a reference, and that his company has every interest in providing tools to the Bitcoin community.
He also explained that his teams, based in London, would quickly move from "development" to "business development", in an attempt to seduce companies.
Finally, we know that Stratis plans to set up a "developer's academy" - the company has not yet announced the date of its launch.
