According to a report in December, “The global blockchain market size is expected to grow from USD 411.5 million in 2017 to USD 7,683.7 million by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 79.6%. The demand for distributed ledger technology, reduced total cost of ownership, rising cryptocurrencies market cap and initial coin offerings, increasing demand for simplified business processes, transparency and immutability, faster transactions, and Blockchain-as-a-Service are said to fuel the growth of this market.
In addition, rising importance and adoption of blockchain for communication service providers, transformation of international trade and supply chain management, new breed for programmable blockchain platforms, and high adoption of blockchain for payments, smart contracts, and digital identities would create opportunities for the growth of this market.“
In early December, Fineqia International Inc. (CSE: FNQ), (OTC: FNQQF), (Frankfurt: FNQA) announced that it will adopt distributed ledger technologies, commonly referred to as the blockchain, as it builds out its alternative finance business.
Fineqia's business focus within the emerging paradigm of blockchain based financial services is being crafted by its management in dialogue with regulatory bodies, technologists, investors and entrepreneurs involved with blockchain companies.
As part of this strategic shift, the Company will consider strategic investments in and acquisitions of companies developing and propagating blockchain based financial solutions that are adjunct to the Company's core business of placing debt and equity securities.
"Blockchain technologies and crypto currencies represent a potentially powerful ally in our mission to democratise financial services," said the Company's CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar. "Use of the blockchain could create more efficient means for financial transactions than those in use today."
On January 29th the company announced that it has made a cash investment for an equity stake in Nivaura, which recently demonstrated the world's first crypto-currency denominated bond issuance that was cleared, settled and registered entirely on a public blockchain.
Fineqia joins New York-based Digital Currency Group (DCG), the world's top investor in blockchain companies in 2017 according to market research firm CB Insights, in Nivaura's first institutional financing round. Allen & Overy, the world's eighth largest law firm by revenue according to American Lawyer, also invested in Nivaura. Both received minority equity interest in Nivaura.
Fineqia will be able to deploy the world's first fully automated bond issuance and administration platform utilising Nivaura's technology at significantly lower cost than existing channels. Issuers will be able to structure, execute and administer legally enforceable bond contracts using public blockchain infrastructure. To meet current client requirements, the bonds will be denominated in fiat currency. The cash held in Nivaura's client money accounts will, however be tokenised to enable blockchain clearing and settlement.
The Company’s Chairman, Martin Graham, has an extensive and notable career in the financial services industry. Between 2003 and 2009, Martin was Head of the Alternative Investment Market (AIM), the sub-market of small and emerging companies at the London Stock Exchange Plc (LSE) where he had direct responsibility for more than $500 million of revenue and 75% of group profit. Martin also served as Director of Markets at the LSE, where he led the exchange's transformational growth strategy focused on driving market efficiency, resulting in a fivefold increase in market size between 2003 and 2008. He was also instrumental in building the LSE's international franchise, which significantly outperformed its main competitors. It is now Europe's largest exchange and the world's third largest after the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market.
