Monthly community AMA

The February 2023 Monthly AMA took place on our Telegram community channel with Co-Founders Julian Kwan and Aaron Ong. They provided insights on the latest security token and tokenization market trends, updates on IX Swap, and more. Watch the video AMA here.

Key points from the AMA include:

• Major institutions like BlackRock and J.P. Morgan, have built token issuance platforms, promoting tokenization and encouraging small to mid-sized players and investors to consider it.

• The Bahamas is becoming a leading digital asset jurisdiction and working on regulations for lending, borrowing, and staking.

• Korea has clarified its security token rules and is seeing investment from Korean conglomerates and banks in STO platforms globally.

• Hong Kong is becoming more blockchain-friendly and may become China's crypto and STO hub. The SEC is attacking crypto and emphasizing the use of security tokens.

• We are in the final stages of completing the launchpad. The launchpad will be subject to a bug bounty program that will be open to the community to help ensure a smooth launch. Deals have been finalized and are ready to be launched once the launchpad is live.

• We are planning to relaunch our ambassador program, which will provide individual roles for qualified applicants such as influencers, content creators, and more. To ensure that ambassadors meet our high standards, they will undergo training and assessment before being accepted into the program.
