Spotcoin has published a new instalment of its weekly roundup series on October 16th. The update touches on the platform’s progress in growing its community before the token sale event that’s due on October 22th. Spotcoin’s whitelist is currently open and will close on October 27th, with registration being compulsory for participation in the token sale event.

When the token sale event goes live, SPOT will be sold for $0.50 per token. SPOT token holders will be entitled to receive a 51% dividend from exchange fees and a quarterly 12% dividend from all of Spotcoin’s business lines.

In a separate update made on October 20th, Spotcoin released a spotlight video of its attendance to the NEO Black Sea Community Hackathon.
