It seems the physicist, and blockchain guru Sasha Ivanov, founder and CEO of Waves Platform never sleeps, perhaps he never even rests. Not only does he keep a grueling road schedule appearing a every major blockchain forum on earth, he also manages to lead development of Waves and make huge deals with corporations and even governments.
Sasha Ivanov has been involved in Internet payment systems software development and neural network prediction software for financial markets for the last several years. After the emergence of blockchain technology he launched the first instant cryptocurrency exchange coinomat.com, the first fiat blockchain token coinoUSD, and the first tradable cryptocurrency index coinoindex.com. I've told you in the past that based on his track record and vision, I bought Waves in the ICO for 21 cents over a year ago, I'm a believer in the project, the product and the team.
As I write this Waves is at $3.77 and has been as high as $7.00 in trading just a few weeks ago. The price as for all Alt coins was pulled down by the Bitcoin controversy and movement of monies by investors and traders to jockey for position in the Bitcoin Fork. This type of market swing is normal in this still very young market. Now the cryptocurrency world can resume a more normal course provided that there are no nasty hidden drawbacks in the Bitcoin fork. So far so good, a few more days should tell the tale concerning the Bitcoin fork.
Side Note: I advised my readers elsewhere prior to the fork to park their bitcoin on a ledger hardware wallet or similar device / wallet were you have the private keys, I am telling them to hold pat on all Bitcoin trading for a little while longer as the dust settles. Those who followed my advice reaped a duplication of their Bitcoin assets in the form of an equal number of BCC coins which are currently trading at $600.00 on Bittrex. A very nice bonus!

Another big announcement concerning Waves comes today. One day after the news that Waves has been selected to build a digital blockchain platform to serve digital assets including Cryptocurrencies and tokenized assets for the National Settlement Depository (NSD), the central depository for the Moscow stock exchange. Waves as now been selected by Gazprombank Digital to enter a partnership for ICOs.
Maxim Ermilov, CEO of Gazprombank Digital said, “Blockchain technologies are gaining ground, already allowing technology start-ups to raise significant amounts of funding in cryptocurrencies. ICOs are best-suited for small- and mid-size venture projects, but should not be limited to the technology sector alone. We see big potential in bringing cryptocurrency financing innovation to the real sector of the economy — in particular, to metals and mining exploration and development projects. We are pleased to cooperate with the Waves Platform and are confident that our joint efforts will help bring real projects that meet very high standards of financial soundness and risk disclosure to cryptocurrency investors.”
Sasha Ivanov has met with many high level business people and government leaders over the last year and it has resulted in a steady stream of exciting announcements, partnerships and projects. This guy is a Blockchain rockstar, this project is serious, and it has legs.
Waves founder and CEO Sasha Ivanov said:
“Our partnership is a significant step towards mass application of blockchain technology. Presently, initial coin offerings are not regulated and carry significant risks for investors. Our strategic partnership with GPB Digital, the daughter company of Gazprombank, will allow us to generate a high-quality deal flow for global cryptocurrency investors. It is an important step forward for the entire blockchain industry, in Russia and across the world.”
My favorite place to purchase Waves is on Bittrex, there are other exchanges of course but Bittrex has very good volume, fast trades and I've never had an issue there in hundreds of transactions with wallets, transfers or anything else unlike some other exchanges. As you can see, I'm not linking to Bittrex and have no interest there other than as a customer so take the tip for what it's worth.
Here are two more developments at Waves announced today Aug. 3, 2017 “The Wavers Decentralized Exchange has been integrated within Waves Android client” and "The new BCC - Bitcoin Cash coin now is available on the Waves Platform"
I believe that it's only just the beginning for Waves, and I encourage you to research Waves and consider catching the Wave!

Great Post, will look at Waves a little bit more planning to expand my Cryptocurrency Portfolio at the moment, looking for coins that have great value.
Bought 550 waves at $2/ another 200 at $3.14. With Polo going down and shady lack of communication to the community I have fully moved over to the Bittrex trading platform. Did you happen to catch the sneak peak of the new GUI for the WAVES DEX trading platform? It looks amazing, even better the COINIGY which I love. You have to hunt around for the image, maybe on Medium I believe. If that trading platform is free and gives as many trading tools as COINIGY, I will completely move over to trading on the WAVES DEX. Decentralized exchanges are the future of trading anyway because they cannot be shut down, regulated by government, or DDOS attacked.This guy knows what he is doing. The leased proof of stake is genius and is a passive income generator that makes the network lighting fast. The traffic from the improved WAVES DEX alone will skyrocket the amount of transactions, letting me collect the fees. I don't see many people talking about this coin yet. Its led by a financial genius whos made deals with the Russian government and business sectors to operate on WAVES. They also have several on ramps for purchasing WAVES and getting into crypto currencies. Making it super easy for people to download a lite client (thats already in the google chrome app store and doesnt make your computer run slow) and buy crypto with a debit card fiat currency along side bitcoin and ethereum is very smart. Its all coming together, glad someone wrote about it.
Exactly right. I have ceased dealing on Polo and I have run hundreds or perhaps 1000's of trades via Polo. I never liked that the ownership and management of Polo is very concealed. The support at Polo is pretty much non existent and there have been wallet troubles as well. BTW I won't use Kraken either due to Kraken's history of crashing during any heavy market activity. Kraken cost me a lot of money on trades that did not execute during fast market moves due to the platform being offline.
The Waves DEX is coming along and has the potential to be a killer app that brings cryptocurrency trading to the common man. I currently have a Waves node. It does not make much money, in fact it does not even cover the cost of hosting it yet. But it will in time as traffic rises. You are right, I own a bunch of different cryptos and none of them come even close to the speed of execution as Waves. Often If I transfer Waves from an exchange such as Bittrex, the Waves are in the chrome wallet before I can get there to check on it. --- FAST
