Something important happened on Friday as BitMax, with it's over $160M in trading volume, went live with their integration of the @fioprotocol into their deposit and withdrawal experience.

BitMax.io Moves to Eliminate Public Address Usage with FIO Protocol

The FIO Ecosystem continues to grow with more wallets coming online all the time.

If you haven't tried FIO yet, get yourself a free FIO Address using the Edge Wallet. You can also experience a checkout using a FIO Request at our shop: https://shop.fioprotocol.io/

The mass adoption of cryptocurrency is coming and usability improvements are the main barrier today. FIO is solving this.

For some other recent thoughts on crypto, check out my post on Voice with some speculations:

1. Centralized exchanges will have their liquidity vampired into DeFi swaps
2. Authenticator wallets are the future.
3. Confusion around contract addresses and long strings of characters for public addresses is going away.
4. Multisig will become required for almost anything of real value.
5. The rise of multisig will become the killer app for DACs.

I've also been playing around with DeFi some more. You can track this experiment involving 200+18 EOS converted to VIGOR, USDT, and Staked for DeFiBox liquidity.
