In each CoinReview I do, I track performance of coins I've covered in the past - both good and bad performance:
#01: Change ($CAG) up 8% to $64M cap in 1 day since post
TO DATE: If you'd invested $100 in each at time of posting, you'd have turned $100 into $108.

What is Verify ($CRED)?

Verify aims to be an all-in-one financial hub with a wallet and a marketplace to manage traditional investments, loans, insurance and more.

It is currently valued at a cap of $51 million, with a coin price of $4.25. This is up 248% for the week.

Who is building it?

  • Yazin Alirhayim, CEO:

VP at Amazon’s “Payfort Start” division. He previously founded White Payments, a “Stripe
for the Middle East”. White was acquired by Payfort (and later by Amazon) just 12 months after it launched.

  • Ibrahim Mokdad, Head of BD: Master's in machine learning, solid experience in R&D at Exa

Hit me with some technicals.

  • Currently in ascending phase, near ATH with increasing volume:

Green Flags:

  1. People HATE PayPal. Enough said.
  2. Yazin has some solid experience. Is he enough to run the whole show? No - but he has done good work in fintech before, and I'm sure he will continue to - whether on this project or the next.

Red Flags:

  1. Does UTrust already have a lock on this application? There is certainly room for emerging competitors to rise, as we've seen from ERCs like $REQ.
  2. Small team with slow GitHub contributions. In my experience watching ICOs, this is a bad sign for progress and eventual successful product, but it doesn't mean the price won't go up in the short term.

Where can I trade it?

$CRED trades on EtherDelta.
