INGOT: CONNECTING THE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL AND CRYPTO MARKETS THROUGH BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

Over the years, the number of investors in the global financial market has increased tremendously as result of expansion of the market which consists of a variety of financial services such financing, investment management and advisory, trading and insurance.

However the current financial market is lacking efficiency and transparency when it comes to trading and financing as the market entry complications which pose a threat to investors and the service fees that are charged are quite exorbitant which eventually discourage investors from participating in the current financial market actively and sometimes smaller investors are often overlooked in favor of the bigger and wealthier investors which does not promote fairness in the current market system. These coupled with the lack of trust in the global financial system that has increased ever since the global economic crisis in 2008 has hindered the current market from reaching the optimal efficiency.

Additionally, the crpto markets have not been incorporated into the current traditional market to provide a large global market that consists of all assets and commodities to give investors more opportunities to trade and fully utilize their digital assets for either fiat currencies, commodities or other major cryptocurrencies. The financial institutions such as banks, brokerage firms, stock exchange and other stakeholders in the financial market do not provide a platform for digital assets to be incorporated into the current traditional market despite the fact that the percentage of the world population including companies, organizations, cooporation and individuals that embrace and use cryptocurrencies increases at an exponential rate on a daily basis.

The Traditional financial markets and the crypto markets are however face with a number of challenges which are discussed below.

CURRENT CHALLENGES IN FINANCIAL AND CRYPTO MARKETS

1. Lack Of Connection Between Crypto And Traditional Markets:
   The crypto and the traditional financial markets are quite separated without any connection which does not give participants/investors who attempting to cross over of move from one market to another on the same market platform. The reason for the separation is are large transaction cost, time and money. The transaction cost of moving from one market to another is often too expensive such that the profit might be eliminated of in some cases lead to loss. This is a major problem as investors tend to run from any activity that might cut down their profit margin. Also, the time frame for moving funds from one market to another usually takes up to five working days which are within the working hours and some transactions eventually get declined depending on different factors such as liquidity, day of execution, time of execution throughout the day, type of order and size of trade.in which case, participants are either unable to move funds between different markets in a reasonable time frame or restricted because of the transaction fee attached to do so.

2. Current Market Ineffective Structure:
   The current market structure is not favorable when it comes to proper management of time. In the current financial world, a great deal of time is lost due to the current financial market having a highly centralized data processing structure which eventually leads to loss in lead and edge as time is extremely of high value for those people engage in trading or seek financing and the local compliance standards such as KYC and AML which are sometimes irrelevant or outdated to international compliance standards often cause complications for foreign investors who are looking participate in the local markets.

3. High Fees In Financial Markets:
   There is quite a large number of financial institutions such as the banks, brokerage firms and intermediary banks involved in the chain of financing and trading activities. These intermediaries however which deduct excessive fees from investors on multiple stages which are often unattractive and discouraging to investors who are attempting to access different markets

4. Impractical Crypro Exit Strategies:
   Transferring funds in bull market is quite hard and this have a negative impact on participants as they are either unable to liquidate/exchange their tokens into other financial assets or they forced to pay large fees to do so. This is a hard part on participants and investors since cryptocurrencies are highly volatile and the price changes every second, the more time spent on trying to liquidate the tokens, the more likely the price is to change against the investor’s target.

5. Lack Of Trust In Crypto Markets:
   The difficulty in transferring current assets to the crypto markets in terms of liquidity, diversification, bias to price discrimination and lack of consistently available markets services has made the crypto market unreliable to propective participants and limiting them from entering.
   With the challenges in the Financial and crypto markets, it is however essential as a matter of urgency to proffer lasting solutions to for optimal efficiency in the market.
