A n a l y t i c s
Platform proliferation will continue. We are
expecting more contenders to emerge, given
the number of well-funded projects that are
under way and promise to address some of
the key shortcomings in existing
architectures.
From 2018 to 2024, there will be
significant growth, as we will see more
validated information from lessons learned
and new use cases, better software,
service providers and accurate clarity
2017 and 2018 noise is clearing and cryptocurrency / ICO projects are
diminishing in importance. 2019 is predicted to be the year of enterprise-level
decentralized ledger technologies (DLTs)
Institutional players enter the market and serious investment funds increase
activity, hindered only by regulatory and insurance uncertainties.
Less projects get funding, but the deal structure is increasing in complexity
(more investors per deal) and more $ USD are invested per DLT Project,
indicating blockchain investment market growing maturity.
While Finance and Cryptocurrency sectors dominated investments in 2018, 2019
is predicted to be the year of insurance, oil & gas, and supply chain solutions.
Most importantly, 2019 will see blockchains taking on digital goods.
Venture capital overtakes angel investment in seed stages and almost half of
leading investors in deals are from the Asian region.
While seed capital is open to projects without a product, those with a product
have greater chance of fundraising success and raise more per deal.

OUTLOOK
2019: THE YEAR 2018 ‘Cleared the Noise’, 2019 Will Be the Time for the
Big Players”
As the sector clears of opportunistic low-quality projects, institutional
players and enterprise-level solutions will dominate the technology.
Integration becomes easier. Clearance & settlement, IOT, and insurance
lead the way in adopting enterprise-level systems, according to analysts.
Blockchain is one of the seven technologies insurers
must master for digital transformation [… or] new
market entrants will do what Amazon has done to retail”
2019 will be revolutionary in UX and adoption support. Integrating
decentralized solutions will get easier, enterprise-friendly, and multi-faceted.
It is inconceivable that [blockchain] remains desktop-
first when clearly the most important computing devices
are mobile. And this is clearly changing.”
Blockchain technology is still maturing and implementation is slow. Some
sectors, especially supply chain, are investing far less than expected.
A n a l y t i c s
By 2023, 90% of blockchain-based supply chain
initiatives will suffer blockchain fatigue for lack of strong
use cases.”
Blockchain is at an inflection point, with momentum
shifting from “blockchain tourism” and exploration to
the building of practical business applications.”As business-ready solutions offer greater usability and integration, higher
institutional attention will give blockchain the necessary boost in 2019.
10. BGX 2019 DIRECTION 10
A n a l y t i c s
Blockchain introduces a new vector to
accelerate the move to digital business. This
allows enterprise architecture and
technology and innovation leaders to create
or represent assets in a digital context and to
create a new, decentralized economic and
societal model.
The blockchain ledger is only a small part
of the overall enterprise app. Many off-
chain components are also needed – user
management, workflows, systems
integration, user interface, APIs, security,
event mediation, and many more.
Current status: BGX has released a fully operational v 0.5 of its network, a
white-label mobile application, API, and published its unique consensus.
Market focus: Enterprise-level DLT with a focus on digital enterprise
organizations in the digital retail and services sector
Product focus: Network growth through increased nodes, modifying
anchoring system, unveiling AI ORACLES
Strategic priorities: Attracting funding to continue development and
accelerate network adoption among enterprise clients
Investment focus: Seed funding venture capital round with 30% in equity
and token options

Editor's Notes
Stable Coin system – maybe more towards white-label tokens? Exchange-ability?
Comparing to Vanig – no bold, have to read… maybe shorten, but add titles?
