MarketOrders quoted in AMB Crypto about blockchain & art

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in AMB Crypto article ‘Can blockchain be a good canvas for Art?’.
The journalist, Chayanika Deka, wrote:
While tokenizing art may sound appealing, according to Sukhi Jutla, Co-founder and COO at MarketOrders, it might actually “overvalue or inflate the price of the artwork” and buyers may find they are paying more for a smaller piece. She said,
“Then, there is the lack of homogeneity between different artworks, which makes it difficult to value and price a fraction of the artwork; this may lead to buyers questioning if it’s really worth the investment.”
The Co-founder went on to say that while most businesses offering tokenized art also promise that the buyer can still make money by trading the token which is backed by the asset [the artwork], such promised exchanges are yet to materialize.

MarketOrders quoted in Finance Magnates on Fintech growing in Singapore

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Finance Magnates article ‘Crypto Country: Singapore’s Bid to Become Fintech’s Largest Hub’.
The journalist, Rachel McIntosh, wrote:
Sukhi Jutla, chief operating officer of blockchain-based gold jewelry platform MarketOrders, said that the passage of the PSA is part of Singapore’s bid to “position itself as the go-to place for the Fintech community.”
“Singapore has long been a leader in terms of business on the world stage making it the most competitive Asian country and the world’s easiest place to do business,” Jutla explained. “Singapore benefits from its strategic location by being a leading port for those looking to enter Asian markets and also has a pro-business environment.”
Now, the country seems to be attempting to follow in the footsteps of “countries such as Malta, Switzerland and Gibraltar,” which “have been leading the way by providing clear regulations,” and, in some cases, “driving direct inward foreign investment.”
Sukhi Jutla noted that because “Binance is very influential in the crypto scene and is seen as a company trying to do the right things by abiding by relevant legislation,” its quick and public compliance with the PSA “is a vote of confidence from Binance in the Singaporean Fintech landscape as a welcoming place to do business.”
Sukhi Jutla also pointed out that “Singapore defining clearer legislation for the crypto scene is an indication that even successful and wealthy countries such as [itself] are anticipating that Fintech and crypto will become an increasingly larger part of consumers lives.
Therefore, “it only makes sense to embrace new technologies whilst they are still young.”

MarketOrders quoted in Fit Small Business on pros & cons of crowdfunding

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was quoted in Fit Small Business article ‘The 10 Pros & Cons of Crowdfunding That Businesses Should Consider’.
She said: “Crowdfunding has limited time frames in which to raise and run your campaign. This helps to nudge investors to make up their minds and decide if they want to invest or not instead of dragging their heels. It’s better to have an outcome one way or another rather than an investment round dragging on forever with no definitive end in sight, which makes it difficult to plan for the business.”

MarketOrders quoted in AMB Crypto on crypto in the sport industry

Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in AMB Crypto article ‘Boom and Bust: Crypto-education can be the safety-net footballers need’.
The journalist, , wrote:
AMBCrypto recently spoke to Sukhi Jutla, Co-founder of MarketOrders, a blockchain-based platform and she identified an alternate pathway as well.
Speaking about crypto and blockchain, she believed getting familiar with the technology and space is no longer difficult and athletes can take advantage of it through social media branding.
She explained that athletes can follow in the footsteps of various influencers and create their own micro-following with a fan base of 10,000 or fewer followers. She added, “And as long as the crypto has trading activity, the player can always generate an income even after their playing career is over. This would act as a type of royalty payment similar to how authors get paid in the publishing world each time their book is sold or loaned out in the library.”
