What is an Token Sale?

A Token Sale, is a modern approach to raising capital through the creation of a new cryptocurrency - which is usually implemented as an Ethereum Token. Tokens are sold to investors in exchange for fiat currency, or frequently, through a more established cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or Ether. These coins are sometimes thought of as shares in the newly established firm or are sometimes used in the firm’s specific ecosystem/business model. Investors participate such that they can gain access to the proposed platform or in the hopes that these coins will increase in value from the original purchase price available during the Token Sale.

CRYPTO20 Fund Reporting

CRYPTO20 will produce quarterly reports to enable investors to track the performance of the fund and to ensure all operations are as transparent as possible. Financial statements will be issued annually.

Accounting for cryptocurrencies remains a grey area. CRYPTO20 aims to resolve this. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) will either create a new standard or change existing standards to address accounting for investments in intangible assets, including digital currencies.

The IASB might take years to develop and implement a new standard - however, they are known to take example from the way successful businesses account for their investments, such as in the case of commodity broker-traders. Considering all possibilities early will enable CRYPTO20 to lead the way and give tokens serious credentials as alternative investment vehicles.

How will CRYPTO20 remain legally compliant?

CRYPTO20 seeks to be fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations. This would mean that CRYPTO20 and the fund directors discharge their duties in accordance with laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. One aspect of this would be to compile annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS - it should be noted that CRYPTO20 will be working closely with professional accountancy firms after the Token Sale and continue to build a professional relationship to not only ensure compliance but also ensure that the operations are as transparent as possible through high quality financial reporting.

The analysis undertaken in our Public Reporting Requirements report concludes that the guidance offered by IAS 38: Intangible Assets would give the most true and fair reflection of the company’s financial position at year end.

Fund Performance - In Real-Time

CRYPTO20 utilizes a powerful back-end trading system to manage and rebalance the fund. Automated high performance services are able to calculate the slippage for amounts purchasable across multiple exchanges in real-time, this ensures the fund always pays the lowest possible amount for its assets.

What is the CRYPTO20 Portal?

The CRYPTO20 portal is a fund information dashboard. Investors can login to participate in the Token Sale and check their account page to see the status of their investment and details of their C20 tokens. On the performance page, investors will be able to transparently see the fund's performance and download quarterly statements. On the withdraw page, investors are able to use the smart contract to exchange their C20 tokens for ETH, based on the fund's value.
