The cryptocurrency is not something new. However, its use is booming. In recent years we have seen in the news how some of them have increased their price enormously. No one knows what will happen in the future. The reality is that nowadays more and more people decide to invest in these digital currencies. For this there are many methods. Some of them use mobile applications that are not as secure as we would like. Many users are not aware of the possible problem.

We are talking about a market of more than 350 billion dollars. Daily volumes exceeding 10 billion and prices raising rapidly, more and more users are investing. The fact that it has little or no regulation, with all of the above, is combined to make the world of cryptocurrencies a primary target for hackers. In addition, security is not exactly a top priority for many investors, since numerous thefts are shown.

Many cryptocurrency applications that allow investors and merchants to store coins have dangerous vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit to steal user funds.

Let's face it, it's just another technological conundrum that is attracting the attention of technology nerds and criminals alike; Sooner or later someone will discover how to do it. Of course, the real reason is because the block chains represent value and money, and where there is money there is motivation.

That said, there is a great risk for cryptocurrency traders and investors. Remember, we are talking about real money regardless of the form and that means there will be criminal elements lurking in virtually every digital shadow they can find. While the chain of blocks and the altcoin in them are relatively safe from hacking, you still have to connect to the internet to buy and sell them. The connection itself can and will be directed. Hackers can monitor traffic for those websites or travel to and from them.

After that, you must link the information of your bank or credit card to an exchange to make your transactions and that will put your data at risk. Of course, most, if not all, exchanges, is using a two-factor authentication process, but even that is not impossible to hack. Now you have your entire account set up and it's time to buy some altcoins, but where do you keep them? Online exchanges are vulnerable to hacking, as evidenced by the Bithumb theft in early 2017. The exchange reported that information from 30,000 customers had been compromised and that more than $ 1,000,000 in cryptocurrencies had been stolen. 

One solution for this is to keep your coins offline in a computer-based wallet. This means downloading more software to your device, storing a cumbersome list of security questions / answers and risking a personal attack. To further secure your coins there is a final step, cold storage, saving your coins in an encrypted file on a memory card. Safe against attacks but at risk of degradation a magnet for loss or damage.

And the risks do not stop there. If you are not careful with your choices, you could easily fall into a series of scams and fraud based on cryptocurrencies.

Caspian, is the first full stack cryptographic asset management solution for institutional and sophisticated investors, offering a solution that meets the needs of cryptographers who are implementing a diverse strategy that requires them to execute exchanges and maintain target assignments in many exchanges. This fragmentation creates liquidity and slippage problems, as well as a challenging audit and compliance environment.

The partnership between the full stack cryptographic platform and the exchange of digital assets will allow institutions and people to interact with multiple exchanges from one place

"Our goal at Caspian is to drive an exponential growth in the participation of crypto-commerce between institutional and sophisticated investors. Our new partnership with Gemini will help us not only to increase our user base, but also to provide sophisticated connectivity and interoperability through various cryptocurrency exchanges. "

Robert Dykes, CEO of Caspian.

Caspian, which is a joint venture between Tora, the leading global provider of advanced investment management technologies, and Kenetic, the blockchain firm committed to expanding the development and adoption of blockchain platforms, provides commercial ordering, execution, compliance functions and professional level risk management to meet the regulatory and operational needs of investors. It currently connects to more than 10 major encryption exchanges, including Gemini (FIX), BitMEX, GDAX (FIX), Bitfinex, Poloniex, BitFlyer and Binance.

Caspian provides investors with a comprehensive Order and Execution Management System (OEMS), a Portfolio Management System (PMS) and a Risk Management System (RMS), backed by an experienced customer service. Its features include professional level execution, portfolio management and reporting capabilities.

Through this step the user will be able to connect to all the major encryption exchanges, allowing easier management of our cryptographic assets.

Among its main features it has:

• Unified negotiating interface in exchanges

• Customizable market data

• Quick execution of the order and modification

• Use workflows in multiple different users and user roles

• Generation of audit reports for all activity in OEMS

2. Portfolio Management System (PMS)

If I tell you that all your data can be displayed in one location, what would you think?

For Caspian your portfolio is the result of thousands of hours of research, analysis and hard work, and therefore they track everything, but all your cryptographic activity. This is part of a hands-free system that manages software, hardware, data, and integrations.

They are your data in one place. You can configure it and customize it as you wish in just seconds.

Among its main features it has:

• P & G in real time and historical in any time interval

• Real-time monitoring of positions in exchanges and portfolios

• Fully integrated with OEMS, PMS, Risk and Reports

• Scale without problems as your fund grows

3. Compliance

If complying with the negotiation becomes a problem, our server verifies tens of thousands of simultaneous orders against dozens of complex portfolio-based compliance rules with 0.0005 seconds of latency or less.

Among its main features it has:

• Authorized users can configure new compliance controls

• Complete audit trail for each order, available at any time

• Automation for restricted trading lists

• Flexible workflows with optional approval protocols

4. Risk Management

In this step, Caspian helps you manage risks in real time. That is, you can assess and contrast prices and precise valuations, in a single complete image.

The server allows you to execute simulation-based scenarios that generate risk metrics in seconds, allowing you to make faster and more effective decisions.

Among its main features it has:

• Historical and real-time risk monitoring

• Real-time assessments

• Accurate reconciliations that ensure that transactions have been executed correctly

5. Reporting

6. Algorithms

Finally and very important at this stage of the game, Caspian allows you to perform automated strategies designed for superior performance, that is, it provides you with the best overall execution price and the least impact on the market against manual negotiation orders, while at the same time hide large orders by dividing them into small portions and disseminating them through multiple exchanges.

Among its main features it has:

• Complete set of institutional-grade trade agreements, including VWAP, TWAP, implementation deficit and online volume

• Pairs that can exchange pairs through multiple exchanges and cryptographic currency pairs with each tranche potentially negotiated in different places in different currencies.

• The Intelligent Smart Order Router technology takes into account the commission and exchange of fiat and crypto scales.

• Algos integration with distributed exchanges and OTC desks, driving liquidity to DEX

• Comprehensive post-negotiation TCA reporting functions to analyze the performance of something / exchange execution quality

In conclusion

Caspian allows you to take control of all your cryptographic activity; you can see its graphical evolution, both every hour, as in the day, the last days, the month or the year. In addition, you can see if your portfolio of that currency has won or lost (again in each temporary phase) and how much. You can even create alerts to warn you when a value goes up or down above a certain amount so you can buy or sell.

Another advantage is that you can quickly check the evolution of the same and establish appropriate strategies to obtain a better performance.
