The Main Market of the London Stock Exchange now lists a new blockchain dispute resolution firm which uses smart contracts to manage arbitration and dispute resolutions around transactions. As officially announced on January 17, the firm intends to list on the LSE.
Proof of Trust Ltd. is the name of the business and even though it did not give any financial details or timetable for the listing, the CEO Dean Armstrong said that the company was excited at the prospect of the listing and “look[s] forward to providing investors with the opportunity to share in this groundbreaking project.”
Additionally, the blockchain dispute resolution firm describes its proprietary technology in the crypto news as one that stands to be the first-ever “insurance protocol for blockchain transactions and smart contracts.” As it stated:
“The Proof of Trust owns the worldwide patents to a protocol which facilitates clear dispute resolution based upon smart contract disputes which are highly efficient both in terms of speed and use of resources.”
The system also delivers an anti-collusion algorithm which ensures the authenticity of the data used to execute smart contracts. Proof of Trust claims that the protocol has come to the attention of major governments and corporations globally and has been presented to a number of prime ministers.
Now, the blockchain dispute resolution firm is probably going to gain more respect after it decided to seek a listing on the LSE and similar exchanges. The truth is, the crypto industry has long suffered from a poor reputation in the traditional financial circles and the lack of regulation during the ICO boom did nothing to alleviate this.
The blockchain news now show that more and more crypto firms are choosing to go down the more traditional route and have an initial public offering (IPO) of shares on a major stock exchange. The first firm which did that on the LSE has been doing pretty well – Argo Mining has added 1,000 new mining machines and had seen its share price almost triple since May 2019, reaching £9.50 ($11.85) per share. Even though the price dropped back, it is still strong standing at £7.15 ($9.32) per share.
The market news show that there might be a bullish run soon and that BTC could finally reach the $10,000 mark.
