After a hectic 2018 with plenty of FUD, it's time now to take a look at the starting positions of fundamentals towards the start of 2019. Let's see if the loss of value of most coins corresponds with the general state of the market, and what could potentially be the game-changing trends to come.
Stable coins
Maybe more of an ongoing trend, but it seems as if stablecoins will continue to be a thing in 2019. Even more perhaps with the recent news confirming that Tether packs some solid dollar bags at their Bahamian bank or the latest reports regarding Facebook’s launch of a stablecoin in India.

Scalability
Scalability limitations on cryptocurrency networks became evident to all around the all-time high one year ago. With Crypto Kitties collapsing Ethereum and Bitcoin fees tearing the rooftop while transaction confirmation times became excessively long, it was clear that something had to be done about scalability.
Lightning network for Bitcoin increased block size for Bitcoin Cash, or the Raiden Network for Ethereum and the ERC20 family, are all different solutions towards avoiding the blockchain consensus bottleneck.

As 2018 has seen many of these projects rolling out for the first time, it could be expected that in the next year their pros and cons will be judged by the markets.
Will STO’s finally take over ICO’s?
Funds raised through Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) have dwindled along 2018, as it can be seen from the following graph extracted from CoinSchedule. However, the Security Token Offering (STO) market seems to be gaining traction, although data for the current exercise don’t allow a proper comparison.
The underlying difference between STO and ICO is that tokens coming from the first can be redeemed for an asset which they tokenize, meanwhile ICO tokens are intended to be used as a means of currency. For example, a currently ongoing STO allows investors to take a stake of a Swedish real estate company which builds residential houses.
One of the main advantages of STO’s is that they are mostly not colliding with existing legislation nor requiring new ones, excepting the Chinese case. In the U.S. they can be regulated by several existing frames, some of them related to crowdfunding.
