Block.one to launch a new cryptocurrency exchange called Bullish

Blockchain software company and developers of EOSIO, Block.one, has revealed that its latest funding round raised $10 billion. The firm will use the funds to launch a new cryptocurrency exchange called Bullish.

In a press release earlier today, Block.one said, “Operating as an independent entity under the Block.one parent company, Bullish Global is focused on the 2021 planned release of Bullish, a new blockchain-based cryptocurrency exchange designed to combine the performance, user privacy, and compliance offered by central order book technology with the vertically integrated user benefits of decentralized finance (DeFi) market architecture.”

The Bullish cryptocurrency exchange is expected to provide traders and investors with new automated market making, lending, and portfolio management tools. The exchange will use EOSIO and the EOS Public Blockchain to improve its transactions.

In fact, the new exchange will offer cryptographic validation using approved algorithms. It will also provide a provable, and immutable audit path for transaction processing on the platform. Undoubtedly, this will help ensure a strong level of trust in the platform.

The team claims to be the first to introduce this level of integrity and use an externally verifiable, high-performance trading and asset management platform.

Peter Thiel and Alan Howard invest in Bullish exchange

Block.one is the primary investor in the Bullish exchange. In fact, the company is inserting $100 million, 164,000 BTC, and 20 million EOS into the project. The $10 billion was recently raised from popular investors such as PayPal’s Peter Thiel and Alan Howard.

Other investors in the project include Louis Bacon, Galaxy Digital, Richard Li, Christian Angermayer, and global investment bank Nomura. As a result, investors Christian Angermayer, Peter Thiel, Alan Howard, and Richard Li will become senior advisors to the new cryptocurrency exchange.

CEO Brendan Blumer commented that “The Bullish exchange will leverage blockchain technology and a new market architecture to revolutionize the high-performance trading landscape by transparently automating expensive third-party functions and turning them into yield-generating portfolio management tools to offer institutions and individuals better and safer access to the latest cryptocurrency investment strategies.”

Peter Thiel said the crypto exchange has a strong balance sheet. Its vertical integration model eliminates the need for outside entities. As well, it provides stability and liquidity to the digital currency market. Investors Howard and Louis Bacon also expressed their excitement at joining the Bullish crypto exchange team.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
