CONS:

SUGGESTIONS:

• The team should generate ways in which the different news are displayed in the platform according to their category and recovery
• The platform should have insurance policy to protect the token holders from losses

Opportunities:
Cryptocurrency investment is gaining recognition rapidly. Demand for financial analytics in the crypto space is surging – especially when institutional money start coming in.
The team has a strong background in finance and investment which helps the project to open doors to institutional investors. This helps driving demand for premium content and services.
CoinFi is bringing an all-in-one solution to cryptocurrency investing and trading. Their scope is more ambitious than other similar projects.
The tokens have a clear utility in that higher access level would be unlocked when a user holds more tokens. This prevents too many users having access to the same signals which will dilute the value of such information.

Concerns:
There are many similar projects that compete with CoinFi to some extent, for example, Cindicator, Santiment, Enigma, CoinDash, and Coinigy. These projects generally have a more advanced development progress since they started earlier.
The ICO is essentially a white paper project with the public beta scheduled to be released late Q1 2018 – it is one thing to have ambitious roadmap but it is another to be actually able to deliver.

Conclusion:
Overall, we like both the short- and long-term potential for this ICO. Our thoughts of the tokens for short term and long term are as follows:
For ​short-term holding:
Good. All the projects that compete with CoinFi have a market cap of well over $100 million. With the high market awareness that CoinFi has, there should be plenty of unmet demand for the tokens once they are listed on exchanges.
For long-term holding:
Good. Cryptocurrency investing is the Wild West right now and we believe there are significant inefficiencies and information asymmetry that traders can take advantage of. If investors have better information, they can outperform the market.
With the team’s background, we believe CoinFi is well positioned to attract usage from institutional investors.
