Blockchain technology is still an attractive proposition to investors. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that a software company, Block.one, raised USD 4 Billion for its EOS project from investors on the promise that the blockchain platform could change the way the internet works. "EOS is a network that allows developers to build and host applications. It is similar to Google's Android, but because it is based on the concepts behind blockchain, a software protocol designed to run on a network of linked computers, there is no central authority," the report explained.

The company's flagship product, taking full advantage of Blockchain benefits like security, privacy, reliability and extendibility, is also the first system to offer instant settlement capabilities and an end-to-end, natively-integrated product suite. GreenBox existing and new clients have lined up to be among the first to adopt the new technology, and full-scale installations are now ongoing. The company already sees a dramatic improvement to earning quality and predictability and expects this trend to persist. GreenBox's success in securing robust commitments pipeline to deploy the new technology created opportunities in several new business verticals for the company. As a result, updated gross revenues projections reflecting that for the next 18 months have more than doubled."
