AlphaPoint blockchain technology selected to build Thailand FinTech hub “Trust City”
Capital Trust Group and W Ventures (Hong Kong) have selected the AlphaPoint platform to create the blockchain financial technology infrastructure for Trust City. The AlphaPoint Distributed Ledger Platform will enable the creation of asset-backed ICO’s for potentially 20,000 wholesale factory representative clients of Trust City.
The first Trust City client to leverage the AlphaPoint platform will create an asset-backed ICO (Initial Coin Offering) in order to fund the expansion of a super luxury private airport in Thailand.
This airport will facilitate the travel of private jets enabling business people and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to visit and do business in Trust City.
“With this initiative, Capital Trust Group Limited and W Ventures (Hong Kong) Limited are leading the pack in demonstrating what can be done with blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is revolutionizing economies and commerce and the Trust City project will be an example of the future.”
Capital Trust Group Limited, a lead investor in transactions as well as a co-investor with other financial institutions, will be acting as the blockchain exchange and trustee provider for the project. W Ventures (Hong Kong) Limited, the Trust City project owner, will help with fundraising for the project and attract fintech companies to Thailand.
“We are pleased to be working with a global leader in providing blockchain technology. AlphaPoint’s technology enables us to rethink financial infrastructure and how Trust City will operate at the core and will enable our vision of creating a world-class financial tech hub.”
The Trust City project, which has started construction, is set to be completed by 2020. The project is being built on the 197 acres of land on Bangna-Trad Road KM29 in Thailand, on the way to Suvarnabhumi Airport, and it will comprise 2.5 million square meters of exhibition space and a FinTech hub.
Fintech Tower will have 5-star hotels and 12,000 condos as well as over 30,000 parking spaces. The project is a joint venture between Hydoo International Holding Limited (HKEX Stock Code: 1396) and Mr. Sitichai Charoenkajonkul, owner of Best Ocean Golf and Best Ocean Airpark (Super Luxury Private Airport Project). The whole Trust City project is financially supported by a private equity group, W Ventures (Hong Kong) Limited.
