Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange sets February date for RKT token sale

Published by CryptoNinjas.net
01/10/2018

Aiming to be a leading blockchain asset trading destination and token sale platform, the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX) today announced its upcoming public token sale event will commence on February, 7th 2018 and conclude on February, 14th 2018.

Tokens issued will be called Rock Tokens (RKT). Approximately 60 million RKT, equivalent to $6 million USD in total, will be issued during the event. As a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX), the GBX endeavors to be one of the first licensed and regulated token sale platforms and digital asset exchange that is operated by a European Union (EU) regulated stock exchange.

RKT coins are ERC-20 compliant utility tokens issued on the Ethereum blockchain. They will function primarily as a medium of exchange for trades on the GBX platform as well as be offering a range of functionalities within the GBX ecosystem.

Rock Tokens be also be utilized to get early access to new token sales; to pay trading fees; for listing and payment of sponsor fees; for issuer and sponsor staking; as grants and prizes at the Blockchain Innovation Centre (BIC); and as payment for business services such as corporate and fund services, as well as e-money services.

“The introduction of rules-based systems is necessary if the blockchain sector is to reach maturity and if actors are to be assured of market stability. Based upon principles of decentralization and community consensus, the GBX seeks to create a new era of trust, openness and global acceptance for the crypto industry, one quality token listing at a time,” said Nick Cowan, CEO of the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange.

“We’re very excited to share the Rock Token with the world. Everyone at the GBX is fully committed to blockchain technology and its potential to change the way that people build their own projects. We invite you to join us on our journey and to join the community we’re building.” added Cowan.

GBX’s successful pre-sale period concluded in December 2017 and was oversubscribed with 210 million RKT already sold, amounting to $21 million USD. Proceeds from the GBX token sale have been earmarked primarily to further develop the GBX trading platform and facilitate the further expansion of the full GBX fintech ecosystem. GBX aims to develop the capacity to be able to support projects at any stage of their development covering all of their business service needs.

The GBX will also benefit from the jurisdiction’s Distributed Ledger Technology Regulatory Framework which came into effect on January 1st, 2018. From this date, firms in or from Gibraltar that use distributed ledger technology (DLT) to store or transmit value belonging to others, and whose activities are not regulated under another financial services framework, will be regulated in Gibraltar. The scope of these regulations will encompass companies using blockchain technology, including the GBX.

“The sale of RKT in tandem with a widespread user-base will help the GBX achieve its intention of becoming a world-leading, institutional-grade token sale platform and cryptocurrency exchange. To see such overwhelming support for our project already in our successful presale period is both inspiring and humbling.”

“The GBX is working to lay the foundation for the global expansion of a regulated cryptocurrency market with all proceeds raised in our token sale event helping further this vision and make it a reality,” concluded Cowan.
