- Ever since Satoshi Nakamoto released his whitepaper and corresponding software
- for bitcoin, the cryptocurrency ecosystem grew rapidly. Bitcoin created an
- ecosystem which everybody could use to \emph{transfer} value without
- unnecessary middlemen, banks or counterparty risk. Having the blockchain
- and consensus technology established and proven stable, the question arose
- whether this technology could be applied to allow \emph{trading} of multiple
- assets without the need for a broker or central entity.
- % Several so called bitcoin 2.0 projects (among which are BitShares 1.0, NXT,
- % Counterparty, Ethereum, \dots) showed the feasibility (DEX).
- The aim of BitShares 2.0 is to evolve the term \emph{decentralized exchange}
- (DEX) and not only provide trading of assets but also offer classical
- financial instruments on the blockchain. Two of these instruments --- market
- pegged assets and user-issued assets --- are discussed here.
- % With price stable digital tokens such as bitUSD, a whole new set of
- % financial contracts are now directly available through the decentral
- % exchange.
