Crypto on your terms: taking back your financial sovereignty

A few months ago, to mark the tenth anniversary of the genesis block, crypto holders across the globe withdrew funds from third party exchanges. This ‘Proof of Keys Celebration’ honored crypto’s founding principle of independence from centralized financial systems. Recently, a similar movement has taken shape. This time, the focus has been on wallets.

At Blockchain, we’ve always believed that without having full control over your private key, you’re missing the defining aspect of crypto: user controlled, sovereign assets. (Not sure what your private key is? Learn more here.) In fact, “be your own bank” has been our ethos since the inception of the Blockchain Wallet.

Competitors have often claimed that ensuring that users retain control over their funds requires a trade off in functionality. We proved them wrong once again with last year’s launch of Blockchain Swap, a next generation trading product that allows Blockchain Wallet users to exchange crypto quickly and with ease for the price you’d pay on exchange, without giving up control of your keys.

In addition to being driven by a passion to empower our users, we’re equally committed to sanctifying their security. That’s why, as a non-custodial wallet, we never have access to your password or funds.

Not one of the 30M+ Blockchain Wallet holders using our platform to store, trade and transact while maintaining full control of your funds? It takes moments to create a free Blockchain Wallet with a verified email address.

And transferring funds to your newly created Blockchain Wallet is easy: simply send the funds from your existing wallet to the address created when you click on request in your Blockchain Wallet.

Get started here and be on your way to taking back control of your crypto!

The Airdrop That Keeps On Giving

At Blockchain, we’re driven by a relentless passion for making crypto easy to use. In that spirit, last last year we launched the biggest giveaway in crypto history. This ongoing giveaway has already allowed us to begin broadening the crypto community and has given our users a way to participate immediately and directly with a new decentralized network.

This week, we’re excited to provide yet another way to use crypto with ease and security, all the while unleashing generosity across the Blockchain community.

Starting Tuesday, February 26th, users in the U.S. and Canada who sign up for our Stellar Airdrop will prompt a donation of $5 worth of XLM to one of our participating charities: charity: water, Code.org, and DonorsChoose.org.

We’ll be partnering with Network for Good, a platform that makes fundraising effortless and transparent, to facilitate these donations.

Whether supporting charity: water’s mission to bring safe, clean water to people in developing countries, expanding access to computer science education via Code.org, or helping teachers and classrooms across the country via DonorsChoose.org — we’re honored and proud to take an extra step towards building a better future with this airdrop.

So, how will this work? Head to this page to create your wallet and claim your XLM. Once you have been verified and receive the airdrop, we’ll send $5 worth of XLM to Network For Good on your behalf, so they can help distribute the donations evenly among the three charities.

We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Stellar Development Foundation and NFG to further open up the world of donations to the crypto community. We hope you’ll join us.

Introducing: 2019 State of Stablecoins Report

At Blockchain, we’re committed to doing more than making it easy to speculate on crypto assets. We’re here to build a better financial system that allows billions across the globe to access an open, fair and accessible future while retaining financial sovereignty.

We believe stablecoins play an important role in delivering on that vision, by enabling the use of crypto for day to day economic transactions without the fear of price volatility, and could act as a tipping point into wider crypto adoption.

Last year, our first major research report analyzed the rapidly growing world of stablecoins. The report took a detailed look at the strengths, trade-offs and concerns associated with all 57 active stablecoins, using a new data set that included previously non-public information.

Today, we’re excited announce the release of the 2019 State of Stablecoins report. The 2019 report builds on its predecessor to provide an updated and expanded look at the current state of the stablecoin market - a space where we expect to see significant innovation in the coming years. It includes:

• New research primers on three leading stablecoins: Paxos Standard, Stasis and Reserve;
• A new in-depth comparison of Paxos Standard, USD Coin and Gemini Dollar;
• Expanded data profiles on 34 stablecoins, including many new stablecoins (the report is twice the size of its predecessor!);
• Refreshed data and analysis across the full report to reflect the substantial changes observed over the last six months; and
• An overview of how to gain investment exposure to the growing use of stablecoins

View Point Summary

• While there is a great deal of excitement surrounding stablecoins, the technology is still nascent and further experimentation (and innovation) is expected
• As we correctly forecasted in our last report, some of the enthusiasm for algorithmic stablecoins has at least temporarily dampened due to the exit of Basis and growing concerns over whether some stablecoins can successfully navigate legal uncertainty and securities laws
• Due to the aforementioned design uncertainty as well as regional factors (e.g., local regulations), we continue to believe that space exists for approximately 5-8 significant stablecoins in the short to medium-term; our view here received some validation in Q4 2018 with the reduced dominance of Tether
• Stablecoins continue to be more complementary than competitive with other cryptocurrencies like bitcoin or ether, with many stablecoins relying on the security, compatibility and infrastructure provided by such cryptocurrencies
• Stablecoins will continue to see an increase in listings on more cryptoasset exchanges, and these listings will be motivated for reasons beyond reduced exposure to market volatility (e.g., algorithmic stablecoins may prove popular to list as they could attract ‘Soros-attack’ trading - and significant trading volume - aimed at breaking the automated stability peg)
• Key near-term regulatory issues include whether stablecoins (or aspects of stablecoin systems) are in compliance with securities and money service laws in some jurisdictions

We hope you find this report interesting and informative. We look forward to sharing more of our team’s research in the future.

Highlight Reel: Blockchain's 2018 Year in Review

Celebrating Proof of Keys today… and the other 364 days a year

To mark the tenth anniversary of the genesis block - the first-ever block of Bitcoin mined - crypto holders across the globe are withdrawing funds from third party exchanges. Doing so, will ensure these exchanges are solvent and, more importantly, honors crypto’s founding principle of independence from centralized financial systems. This ‘Proof of Keys Celebration’ has gained steam and we are supportive.

At Blockchain, we’ve always believed that owning and controlling your private key - and with it your crypto - is the single most important aspect of using crypto. Without having full control over your private key, you’re missing the defining aspect of crypto: user controlled, sovereign assets. Not sure what your private key is? Learn more here.

Enabling users to “be your own bank” and truly maintain control of their crypto has been at the core of the Blockchain Wallet since its inception. Our passion for ensuring that users retain control over their funds was extended last year with the launch of Blockchain Swap, a next generation trading product that allows Blockchain Wallet users to exchange crypto quickly and with ease for the price you’d pay on exchange, without giving up control of your keys.

Not one of the 30M+ Blockchain Wallet holders using our platform to store, trade and transact while maintaining full control of your funds? It takes moments to create a free Blockchain Wallet with a verified email address and be on your way to taking back control of your crypto from centralized exchanges. Get started here.

Note to those planning to take part in the Proof of Keys Celebration: As you prepare to transfer funds from your exchange account to your wallet address, make sure to factor in withdrawal limits and network congestion. And, as always, it is critical to keep your private keys secure. Don’t share them with anyone you don’t want to share full control over your funds.

Bitcoin Cash services will resume

As many of you know, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced a hard fork as planned on 15 November. As a precaution, we halted Bitcoin Cash services within the Wallet until we felt the situation was stable. We now feel confident that it is safe for our users and will be resuming Bitcoin Cash services in the Wallet over the next few days.

Please note, when we resume Bitcoin Cash services in the Wallet, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) will represent Bitcoin Cash ABC.  Because one result of the fork was the emergence of another BCH chain (Bitcoin Cash SV), we suggest that you confirm that the party you are transacting with is also using Bitcoin Cash ABC when sending or requesting BCH within your Wallet to avoid any loss of funds.

Have a specific question? Drop us a line, our Social Team is here to help.

What you need to know about the Bitcoin Cash hard fork

We have been closely tracking the Bitcoin Cash (BCH) hard fork set to take place at 16:40 pm UTC (11:40am EST) on Thursday, November 15th and what it means for you. The outcome of the hard fork will likely be two different blockchains and tokens. But not to worry, we’ve got you covered!

First, your funds are safe, but we are taking some precautions on your behalf. We will temporarily disable Bitcoin Cash services starting at 13:40pm UTC (8:40am EST) on Thursday until we can determine that the situation is stable. During this time, you will still be able access Bitcoin, Ether, and Stellar services within the Wallet.

Following the fork, your Bitcoin Cash balance will reflect the value from 24 hours before the fork. The the fiat value of your Bitcoin Cash holdings will begin updating as soon as the network stabilizes.

No immediate action is required on your part. We will be closely monitoring the situation and will make sure to update you via our social channels and from within the Wallet. Have a specific question? Drop us a line, our Social Team is here to help.

Introducing: Stellar, now in the Wallet, and $125M of free crypto in your pockets

The Blockchain Wallet is designed so users can control their crypto with ease and truly use it. But we’d be nowhere without the tens of millions of people that have used the Blockchain Wallet and allowed us to pioneer user-controlled finance at scale.

There are so many ways we could say thank you to our 30M (and counting!) Wallet users - but we narrowed it down to 125 million.

Starting today, in celebration of adding full support for XLM in the Blockchain Wallet, we’ll begin giving away $125,000,000 of Stellar (XLM) to YOU, our users. With nearly 30M Blockchain Wallets to date, we’re excited to add an entirely new way for users to get their first crypto.

And just as Blockchain never charges listing fees to join our platform, we aren’t keeping a single XLM for ourselves. We’re giving them all away. That’s a lot of 0s to distribute. In fact, this is the largest airdrop in the history of crypto and likely the largest consumer giveaway ever.

Why are we doing this? We’ve already shared our thoughts on how Blockchain Airdrops are a great way for crypto creators to drive decentralization and adoption for new networks. We think they’re great for crypto users too. They let you test, trade, and transact with the next generation of crypto assets without having to buy them or mine them. Your Blockchain Wallet has always been the safest and easiest way to use crypto. Now, with the launch of the Blockchain Airdrops program, you can count on your Blockchain Wallet as a place to learn and discover new assets, too - all for free.

We’re starting with Stellar because its network is built for scalability. Its token, XLM, enables quick, low cost, worldwide transactions, even when millions of people are using it at once. Stellar can even create custom tokens representing real-world or virtual goods and services. Lastly, Stellar has a world class development community and a vibrant, functioning ecosystem.

We’re also partnering with a number of organizations on this airdrop, including the Stanford d.school's emerging tech initiative, Code.org, and Network for Good, who share our vision for using this transformational technology to build a better future. And we'll be partnering with charity: water to make donations in support of their mission. More details on those partnerships will be revealed in the coming weeks!

By growing the Blockchain community, we can help more people own and control their financial future. Our first Blockchain Airdrop, Stellar XLM, is another step in driving this mission forward. Visit blockchain.com/getcrypto to be among the first to claim yours.

Exploring Crypto Just Got Easier

Welcoming ETH to the most popular and trusted block explorer

The tenth anniversary of the bitcoin whitepaper is coming up and we're a bit nostalgic. When we first started out in crypto, we wanted to solve a critical issue - creating a simple way to see what was happening in the bitcoin ecosystem. Our first product was a bitcoin explorer that allowed everyone the ability to find detailed information on transactions, mined blocks, and statistics across the entire network. Since then, the explorer has provided users around the world direct access to the block chain and has become the most trusted source for bitcoin data.

Today, almost 7 years to the date, we’re excited to continue to give users more control with the addition of Ethereum which puts ETH data right at your fingertips. We’re also giving the explorer a fresh new look and streamlining the way users interact with the data. Now you can view top network statistics, watch real-time incoming transactions, search for blocks, addresses, or transactions, and more all from one place.

Whether you’re a wallet user who wants to find more information about your addresses and transactions, a researcher looking for data on the health of the networks, or a crypto enthusiast who wants to make informed trading and transaction decisions - the explorer has all your data needs covered. So go ahead and dive deep into the new Ethereum explorer or check out your bitcoin favorites from the same place you always have.

Keep an eye out for future updates! As more protocols and assets emerge, we’ll be expanding the explorer functionality to support the growing ecosystem.

New Ways to Control Your Crypto 🚀

We built the Blockchain Wallet because we’re driven by a relentless passion for making crypto easy to use. We want everyone to be able to use it, not just invest in it.

We believe that owning and controlling your own private key is the single most important aspect of using crypto. Without a private key, you aren’t using crypto - you’re just speculating and you’re missing the defining part of crypto: user controlled, sovereign money.

It was enabling that exact need that underpinned the development of the Blockchain Wallet six years ago. The mission? Make it easy for every user to have their own private key, to get users away from storing funds at exchanges and “bitcoin banks”, and to enable everyone to be their own bank.

Fast forward six years and we’ve achieved a few things that we’re proud of:

• Building the first cross platform, non-custodial, and cross chain wallet
• Signing up 30 million wallets in 140 countries globally
• Powering over $200 billion in consumer transaction volume and over 80 million consumer crypto transactions in the last two years alone
• Championing the cause of financial sovereignty and user-control with regulators around the world. (We’ve spent thousands of hours and millions on education and outreach.)
• Helping our users store millions of BTC, BCH & ETH coins and generate over a quarter of bitcoin network traffic alone

Most importantly, it’s been a honor and privilege to be the first place tens of millions of people turn in order to actually use crypto and hold their own keys.

But there’s a lot still to do.

At the end of the last bull run, we did a serious self-assessment and asked ourselves, what do users need that we aren’t delivering today? We identified four common requests and frustrations:

1. Better, faster ways for new users get their first crypto and make their first transaction
2. More storage types, like hardware, as users’ balances increased
3. More assets as users want to store and use an increasingly diverse asset set
4. Better, more reliable sources of liquidity as trading and investing across assets continues to increase

Satisfying these demands meant building a huge extension of our platform, at scale. We’ve had our heads down much of this year doing exactly that and starting today we’re excited to begin delivering new solutions to you, beginning with two new capabilities.

First, we’re launching Swap by Blockchain: a next generation trading product with best-in-class liquidity and execution, powered by our new machine trading software platform that ensures best execution across assets. Blockchain Wallet users will now have access to exchange-like prices without giving up control of their keys or their crypto. And trade limits will increase from hundreds to thousands of dollars of crypto per trade.

While the system currently has deep liquidity drawn from a variety of sources, we plan to add more liquidity sources over time, including decentralized exchange protocols. We’ve rebuilt our risk and KYC systems, so that you can onboard with ease, in minutes. Swap ensures our users stay liquid and can trade at the best prices in the market, regardless of overall market volatility and challenges. We’re started rolling Swap out today and everyone will have access over the next two weeks.

Secondly, we’re launching Lockbox: a hardware vault in your pocket, built in partnership with hardware leader Ledger. Lockbox is simple to use and is even more secure thanks to a locked endpoint that prevents phishing and spoofing attacks. It’s hardware made easy, with a setup that takes just a few moments thanks to our custom hardware-software integration.

With Lockbox you’re able to check your balance and receive transactions, on mobile and web, without the inconvenience of having to plug your device in every time. In an industry first, you’ll also be able to trade directly from your Lockbox while still maintaining your keys. In conjunction with Lockbox, we’re also excited to let current Ledger device owners seamlessly pair with the Blockchain Wallet and trade directly from the Ledger device they already own.

And we have more coming this year, including additional assets and new products within the Blockchain Wallet that will bring you new, faster, and better ways to get started in crypto.

We’re here to build a new financial system and the Blockchain Wallet is your passport to that new world. Store crypto, trade crypto, transact with crypto and most importantly truly own and control your crypto.

We’re dedicated to building the functionality you want, without compromising your control of your key. Your crypto is yours, and it should stay that way.

Announcing Blockchain Airdrops

At Blockchain, we know that crypto tokens thrive on decentralization and network effects: the more individual users of a network, the more useful and valuable the network’s token becomes. To bootstrap these networks, creators have increasingly turned to airdrops as a simple, transparent method of distributing free cryptoassets to a wide audience. We think that airdrops, when executed properly, have the potential to meaningfully drive decentralization and supercharge network effects.

That’s why we’re thrilled to share a set of guiding principles that will inform Blockchain Airdrops. In a Blockchain Airdrop, token-based network creators distribute tokens directly to our users via our (almost 30 million!) wallets.

Blockchain Airdrops are great for network creators whether they’re looking to drive decentralization for new networks or amplify the reach of existing networks. More importantly an airdrop directly to addresses controlled by users can ensure the power of a network rests in the hands of many, rather than just a few. This is particularly important as protocols increasingly shift to proof-of-stake security models. A properly targeted airdrop can even achieve regulatory goals: a decentralized network is less likely to make its issuer a money transmitter, and less likely to create risks under the securities laws.

Airdrops are good for the crypto ecosystem, too. They serve a discovery function, driving exposure for new assets and creating a testing ground for network participants. They also encourage new and existing users to experiment with new cryptoassets and build awareness of the power of decentralized networks.

Finally, airdrops are great for users, who get crypto without having to buy it, mine it, or work for it. Buying crypto on an exchange can be difficult, time consuming, and expensive. Mining, even more so. In a Blockchain Airdrop, getting crypto is free and easy for everyone. Even better, since Blockchain users self-custody, they have immediate control, ownership and use of their newly-airdropped crypto. They can participate directly in the network without going through a cumbersome intermediary.

Our Guiding Principles articulate our thinking around asset selection, distribution methodology, economic rationale, and legal considerations. You can read more here or watch this short explainer video:

Shining light on The State of Stablecoins

We’re delighted to announce the publication of The State of Stablecoins, a major research report focused on the rapidly growing world of stablecoins.

The report is the first of its kind to take a full look at the current state of the stablecoin market - an under-discussed but increasingly important part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. And a space where we expect to see significant innovation in the coming years.

As stablecoins are tied either to the price of a commodity or to the operation of an algorithm, their prices are much less volatile than other cryptoassets. This means they’re appropriate for a whole host of use cases in the longer-term, ranging from store of value and derivatives, to smart contracts and remittances. Collectively, these are potentially worth tens of trillions of dollars. This means that stablecoins could act as a tipping point into wider crypto-asset adoption.

It’s an area that is also gaining increasing attention from investors, with over $350m committed to date from established funds such as Bain Capital Ventures, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, among others.

The State of Stablecoins report takes a detailed look for the first time at the strengths, trade-offs and concerns associated with all 57 active stablecoins, including both live and pre-launch projects, using a new data set that includes previously non-public information.

The report gives an overview of the different stablecoin formats currently in use, their relative performance and provides insights into the regulatory landscape. It also gives projections for how the market will develop over the next few years.

This report is also the first publication from our new research team, led by Dr. Garrick Hileman, Head of Research at Blockchain, who was recently named one of the 100 most influential economists in the U.K. and Ireland by City A.M.

As well as providing great products to our users, Blockchain has been committed to shining a light on the state of the markets, ever since the early days of Blockchain.info, when we first launched our block explorer service.

We hope you find this report interesting and informative. We look forward to sharing more of our team’s research in the future.

You can read the full report or take a look at the summary slides at blockchain.com/research.

Welcome Katie Wells: Blockchain’s new General Manager of the Blockchain Wallet

We’re excited to welcome Katie Wells to the Blockchain team as our General Manager for the Blockchain Wallet. Katie joins us from Twitter, where she spent the past two years as a General Manager of Twitter’s Live Video business, a business she helped grow from before its launch. Prior to that, she was Twitter’s Head of Consumer Product and Strategic partnerships.

When we launched the Blockchain Wallet, we had a simple goal - give individuals the ability to manage their crypto via their own private keys through an easy-to-use digital wallet. This was a radical approach, but as the digital asset ecosystem has evolved the Blockchain Wallet has been the leading way to store, transact, and invest in crypto around the world. More than ever, people want autonomy and control over their financial futures. Katie’s experience will be key as we realize our vision building the next generation of finance.

Katie has spent most of her career in consumer technology and financial services. Before Twitter, Katie was Head of Mobile Product Strategy and Partnerships at American Express, helping build mobile experiences for cardholders. She also worked on Amex’s Strategic Planning Group, an internal strategy consulting team reporting directly to the CEO, primarily focusing on expanding international acceptance. Katie was previously a consultant at the Boston Consulting Group and a sales and trading associate at Lehman Brothers specializing in interest rate derivative products.

“The Blockchain Wallet was designed to be the single easiest way to get started in crypto and we’re proud to serve such a diverse user base,” said Peter Smith, CEO and Co-Founder at Blockchain. “Katie’s expertise will be integral as the ecosystem evolves and we’re thrilled to welcome her to Blockchain.”

“I’m thrilled to join Blockchain to continue supporting the needs of our existing 28 million users, and to open up the crypto world to new users, regardless of their level of experience or knowledge about the space,” said Katie Wells. “I believe that innovation in this space is offering people more financial empowerment, and I look forward to building on Blockchain’s mission of connecting the world to crypto.”
