Introduction
As cryptocurrency enthusiasts, we often need a way to trade currencies, and due to the volatility of the markets, we need to be able to trade fast. Welcome Lykke, a trading ecosystem. This is no average trading ecosystem, this is a 0 commission, human speed, 2 key fingerprint security system, and they also have their own cryptocurrency listed at rank 52 on coinmarketcap.com with amazing solid growth.
Who is behind the project?
Founder and CEO Richard Olsen. He also co-founded OANDA with incredible success with Business Insider giving it a $1.2 billion evaluation during the year 2008. He wishes to “transform financial markets into a seamless system without the inefficiencies that we take for granted today.”
How does the technology work?
Lykke uses Bitcoin’s distributed ledger technology. Using this technology, they can reduce the risk of fraud because there is no fixed location of the ledger, but rather, it exists in many places at the same time therefore, one person cannot access it. It is a very interesting method of trade because it also allows for many people to have access to the markets with their smartphone. They even have a user-friendly app for both iOS and Android. In short, they allow for participants to negotiate prices and complete transactions without holding the assets at Lykke. They use 2-of-2 multi-signature address, which requires the trader’s signature as well as the exchange’s. It is a very secure method as trust is eliminated from the situation. I don’t need to trust the exchange because I contain the second signature, and the exchange controls the coin flow.

Conclusion
I feel that their growth is organic and positive, therefore I would jump on and hold. Their company is legit, it is using well-known methods pioneered by Bitcoin, and has a lot of security measures. My favorite part of the exchange is that I do not have to place trust on the exchange because of their multi-signature system, and I feel that other people will too believe that this is a great asset for the exchange. I would invest.
