A landmark merger, bringing together the most reputable companies in cryptocurrency analysis.

Crush Crypto merges with Picolo Research and Astronaut Capital in strategic partnership move

For over a year now, Picolo Research has been focused on providing the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem with independent and transparent views on blockchain companies and initial coin offerings.

Since our humble beginnings in early 2017, tens of thousands of people across 56 countries have been reading our publication to get better informed on new opportunities in the blockchain ecosystem.

Bringing together two companies to create the platform of the future.

Today we are pleased to announce a new strategic merger that will be taking our cause to the next level.

“As of June 2018, Picolo Research has entered into a merger agreement with Crush Crypto, a leader in retail consumer-based content and research for Initial Coin Offerings and emerging coins.”

The Merger

Crush Crypto (Hong Kong) will be acquired and placed under the banner of Picolo Ventures PTE (Singapore). Picolo Ventures is the beneficial owner of both Picolo Research and Astronaut Capital Group.

As part of the merger, all employees of Crush Crypto will be working under the banner of Picolo Ventures as one single team.

About Crush Crypto

Crush Crypto has been operating in the cryptocurrency market since June of 2017 and is extremely well-known for their transparent and independent research publication.

Headed by Victor Lai, an expert in financial analysis, the team provides detailed due diligence on upcoming ICO’s via their website www.crushcrypto.com as well as video content and walkthroughs of their analysis via their YouTube channel.

Crush Crypto has also been operating a tokenized fund, Crush Crypto Core, as a DAA on the Iconomi platform since late 2017.

Why is Picolo Research and Crush Crypto merging?

We believe that there is a significant amount of noise in the cryptocurrency market, with very few reputable publications that specialise in truly independent and non-remunerated research.

Upon meeting with the Crush Crypto team now on many occasions, we have formed a great relationship and have identified significant similarities in our methods of analysis, due diligence and most of all, our ethical approach to blockchain investment and advisory.

What does this mean for Picolo Research subscribers?

As of later this month, Picolo Research and Crush Crypto will be merging under one entity (Picolo Ventures) with its head office located in Singapore.

Subscribers can look forward to more regular and in-depth research of upcoming ICO’s, market reports, cryptocurrency commentary and more.

Both websites will still operate independently, with Picolo Research focusing on a more institutional style of analysis, while Crush Crypto will cater for the distribution to everyday readers.

You can expect some significant changes in both of the websites and reporting methods over the next few weeks.

What does this mean for Astronaut Capital subscribers?

In 2017, Picolo Research launched Astronaut Capital, a tokenized investment vehicle to gain exposure to new initial coin offerings. Token holders of Astronaut can expect more research, increased deal-flow and complimentary analysis for its new prospective investments. We anticipate that this will also provide more exposure for Astronaut Capital’s ASTRO listed token.

In addition to this, Crush Crypto will be assisting in developing an institutional-focused asset management vehicle for participation in ICO activities going forward. More information on this will be released shortly.
