Token-as-a-Service (TaaS), the tokenized closed-end fund dedicated to blockchain assets has announced a strategic investment advisory partnership with Singapore-based COSS (Crypto One Stop Solution) a merchant payment gateway platform, exchange, and wallet allowing consumers to manage all their finances in one place.
Having provided guidance to COSS’ management for the past month, TaaS has decided to become an official strategic investment adviser to COSS, which recently concluded its 72-hour token pre-sale. The Token Generation Event (TGE) launches on August 8, 2017, at 1:08 pm GMT and ends on September 6, 2017, or earlier should the hard cap of $55 million be met.
The strategic partnership includes listing TaaS’ own token on the COSS exchange, which represents the proof-of-membership in the fund. The token can now be traded for ETH and BTC on coss.io. Since late April when TaaS concluded its own TGE and raised $7.6 million from close to 4,000 investors, TaaS has invested in numerous TGEs and also began active trading activity, which includes dozens of cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC, DASH, NEM(XEM), ARK, SNM, PAY, LSK, BNT.
Once COSS concludes its TGE and its tokens become available for trading on September 20, TaaS plans to include the COSS token to the cryptocurrencies it trades actively.
