Sorry to break it to you but crypto assets have been trading since beginning of bitcoin.
Maybe James doesnt remember GLBSE?
Or how about this:
www.cryptostocks.comOr the oldest of them all,
https://www.therocktrading.com/en/exchange/stock which is also currency exchange.
But I must admit, paradigm shift does sound cool....if only it was true lol
I said it was the first on a major crypto exchange, I guess the last part maybe got edited out during the press release-ization
I indeed dont remember GLBSE, I only discovered crypto last November.
cryptostocks is at least still around and doing some amount of business:
BTC
7 day volume 88.94
30 day volume 704.06
Still, Poloniex does in a good day what cryptostocks does in a month. Not sure they are really in the same category. Coinomat raised over 100 times what it raised via cryptostocks on the NXT AE, in a day. Poloniex represents a lot more potential volume than the NXT community can bring to AE at the moment.
The point is not that JLH is trading, after all it was born within NXT AE and that is all about trading. The point is that JLH is trading alongside cryptos like XMR, LTC, DOGE, DRK, XC, etc. So far it actually has more volume than all of those other than XMR as is #9 in trading volume without a full day of trading.
This development paves the path for other assets to trade on crypto exchanges, instead of backwater (no offense cryptostocks!) asset only exchanges.
So maybe if taken literally, there are some minor inaccuracies, but the point is still quite valid. A new age is here for cryptoassets. I expect a mad dash to all the cryptoexchanges for crowdfunding now
