Ubcoin Marketplace is a global mobile marketplace for buying and selling real world goods for cryptocurrency.
The number of cryptocurrency holders is projected to increase nearly 10-fold, from the current 22 million to 200 million worldwide by 2020. The simplest way to become an owner of cryptocurrency is by selling goods for crypto. This approach will drive mass adoption in the coming years.
Capitalization of the cryptocurrency market is around $400 billion. There is a great demand to spend that wealth by buying real world goods for crypto.
Nearly half of all online buying and selling activity now occurs in marketplaces, while mobile commerce will soon surpass web commerce as global smartphone penetration reaches 37% of world’s population by 2020.
The Ubcoin Marketplace is not a greenfield project, but an extension of the Ubank mobile app:

Market Competitive environment:
According to BI (Business Insider) report, over the period 2015-2020 the annual average growth of mobile online payments in the amount of 40% is expected, the volume of such payments will grow to $128 billion by 2021, and the number of people making payments will grow at the same rate and will make up about 150M people by 2021.
EBAY, Amazon, Aliexpress, etc. are indirect competitors among global marketplaces, but for today they didn’t adopt blockchain and opportunity to pay with cryptocurrency. Ubcoin claims to get significant competitive advantage with the use of blockchain-technology and cryptocurrency payments.
OpenBazaar is the closest competitor, but since it is fully decentralized it is prone to darknet-like transactions because there is not monitoring and screening of postings. Ubcoin is committed to fully legal transactions and goods being sold on its marketplace.
There are the following competitors on the decentralized market:
Storiqa – in the course of ICO $25M was raised, capitalization - $64,2M, ROI USD - 1.14x
INS Ecosystem - raised - $41,5M, capitalization - $23M, ROI USD - 0.30x
Soma - raised - $6M, capitalization - $0,8M, ROI USD - 0.20x
In the near future leading cryptocurrencies plan provide buyers with single payment solution, where payment gateways will be integrated, which allow making payment not only in crypto currencies but also in fiat. However, the legislative regulation of the crypto currencies of majority of countries is in its infancy.
The project advantages:
The main advantages of Ubcoin are as follows:
Large existing user-base, not a greenfield. DApp has access to 16 million apps for immediate distribution
Minimum mediators. Using the app, the number of participants taking part in the process of link sale is maximally minimized – the process occurs P2P according to smart contract conditions.
Decentralization. The app provides that initiating, settlement and consulting of transactions will be recorded in blockchain. Thus, all necessary information will be always available and which is very important – no one could change it.
Smart contracts automate execution
Zero cost for internal UBC token transactions
Unique distribution strategy through app preinstallations

he Ubcoin project is expanding its business as a marketplace and intends to offer its own token to be used in transactions on a proprietary platform developed on the basis of the successful Ubank product.
Despite the use of cryptocurrency’s rapid increase in popularity, it still remains somewhat incomprehensible for the majority. Many prefer to stay away from any non-fiat transactions due to conservatism; there is only a superficial penetration of cryptocurrency into everyday life. Ubcoin may have to deal with this problem. However, the project counts on attracting crypto users, rather than those who prefer to settle in fiat currencies.
Factors that could have a negative impact on the future development of the project and the forthcoming ICO include the following:
However, we note that the project has advantages over its competitors; a business model and a global marketing strategy are presented, and the token is tied to platform services. Unlike its competitors, the project has a ready audience as a result of 16+ million installations of the Ubank app; the Ubcoin Marketplace will be part of this, which is an advantageous position compared to competitors that have to build up their user bases from scratch.
