The Global Cryptocurrency Market Continues to Grow as Blockchain Technology Evolves

NEW YORK, November 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

According to data compiled by Bekryl, the global cryptocurrency market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 43.7%. The market is being propelled by the backend technology of blockchain which allows for safe and secure transactions. The technology behind cryptocurrency is still continually evolving. Most cryptocurrencies are backed by two mechanisms; the first publishes every transaction in a public database and the second protects the ledger cryptographically. Notably, bitcoin has become one of the most common digital coins after its prominent rise last year. The coin was one of the first decentralized alternate currencies offered to consumers. The cryptocurrency market is being heavily driven by new emerging solutions used in different markets such as healthcare, retail, IT services, media and logistics. Netcoins Holdings Inc.

Despite the prominence of cryptocurrencies, it has received backlash from official regulators because it is not a form of a recognized currency. Nevertheless, many financial institutions and firms are still using and recognizing cryptocurrencies because of its technology. "Legislative changes regarding financial products are bringing in more transparency and legitimacy to the crypto-trading space," said Hayato Terai, Co-Chief Executive Officer of G8C token-issuing GanaEight Coin Ltd., a Ganapati Group company, according to a Forbes article. "The ICO space will soon undergo similar changes as well. With better regulations and security mechanisms such as tokenized securities and stablecoins already being introduced, we should expect more interest and participation from institutional investors."

Netcoins Holdings Inc. GARLF is listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the ticker NETC. Earlier last week, the Company announced breaking news that the, "previously announced upcoming 150,000+ retail locations are live and active as of today.

On September 17, 2018, a definitive agreement with a global voucher partner was made to expand the Netcoins retail network to 171,000+ locations. Integration with this voucher partner is now complete, and people can now walk into these 150,000+ new locations across 6 continents to purchase a cash voucher which can then be redeemed online at http://www.goNetcoins.com/redeem for a cryptocurrency of their choice.

'The team at Netcoins is always executing, and we are excited that effective today these 150,000+ locations can start selling vouchers that can be redeemed for crypto via Netcoins.

Intel Corporation INTC, a leader in the semiconductor industry, is shaping the data-centric future with computing and communications technology that is the foundation of the world's innovations. Today's cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving with emerging threats, which means Intel must be vigilant in delivering solutions that protect customers and their data. Given the cybersecurity axiom that hardware is the foundation for innovation and is the root of trust, Intel has long been focused on driving security innovation from the silicon to applications and from the client device to the edge and to the cloud. Earlier this year, Intel announced that it is taking another step forward, with two new technology announcements: Intel® Threat Detection Technology (Intel® TDT), a set of silicon-level capabilities that will help the ecosystem detect new classes of threats, and Intel® Security Essentials, a framework that standardizes the built-in security features across Intel processors. The Company is also announcing a strengthened academic partnership with Purdue University, to help accelerate the development and availability of cybersecurity talent. Intel also announced its launch of Intel Security Essentials, which will ensure a consistent set of critical root-of-trust hardware security capabilities across Intel® Core™, Intel Xeon and Intel Atom® processors. These capabilities are platform integrity technologies for secure boot, hardware protections (for data, keys and other digital assets), accelerated cryptography and trusted execution enclaves to protect applications at runtime.
