Welcome to the first Weekly Update of June. This week, we achieved one of our biggest milestones so far: a fiat gateway, making it easier than ever for everyday users to enter the crypto-economy. We also hosted our first events in Asia.

ICONOMI Fiat Gateway

This week’s announcement was one of the biggest milestones ICONOMI has reached so far. In addition to the recently added TrueUSD stablecoin, ICONOMI now offers a fiat gateway — direct fiat deposits and withdrawals through OTC (over-the-counter) deals. Our users can now buy and sell bitcoin and ether with fiat and diversify their digital portfolios using baskets of cryptocurrencies — Digital Asset Arrays.

Events

Meet the Managers: Hong Kong & Singapore

On Tuesday, May 29, ICONOMI hosted a Meet the Managers event in Hong Kong. Two days later on May 31, we hosted another event in Singapore.

In Hong Kong, we were joined by representatives from the Cybermiles team, a blockchain-based company building a decentralized ecosystem for e-commerce.

Meeting with TenX, the team behind the TenX cryptocurrency debit card, in Singapore.

Slovenian Marketing Conference

ICONOMI co-founders Tim M. Zagar and Jani Valjavec attended Slovenian Marketing Conference (SMK), where they spoke about how blockchain will influence the future of marketing and discussed new and upcoming trends in the blockchain industry.

TedX

ICONOMI sponsored TedX Slovenia (a TED event independently organized by the Faculty of Economics at the University of Ljubljana), which was attended by more than 370 economics students and others interested in the future of technology. By supporting and attending events like TedX, we hope to introduce the crypto-economy to younger generations and educate them on potential future employment opportunities in this field.

East Chain Open Hub (ECOH 2018)

Jure Sutar, Head of DAAs at ICONOMI, was a guest speaker at East Chain Open Hub, a two-day conference that aims to gather people from around the world to discuss the exciting new opportunities offered by blockchain and distributed technology.

Digital assets powered by the blockchain have opened up investment and trading — a previously “closed” world — to everyone with an interest and access to the internet. Listen to the full presentation “The New ICONOMI” by Jure Sutar to learn more about the benefits of the ICONOMI platform:

New DAA

Global Crypto One is a German investment management company focusing solely on the new sector of crypto, which they consider a new asset class with huge long-term potential.

Media Highlights

“One way to make these management platforms even more accessible is the introduction of fiat currency. Iconomi has recently announced the release of the first stage of its fiat currency support: over-the-counter (OTC) deals.”

“ICONOMI has devised a unique platform that can help customers take advantage of managed digital asset portfolios and to hopefully reap sustainable, long-term returns — something that is often a rarity in today’s volatile crypto markets.”

“Karayaneva told CoinDesk that she believes the auction is a unique opportunity to record the sale of a historic building on a blockchain, one made more notable in light of the fact that real estate applications of blockchain are still in early stages.”

Sneak Peek

Our blog post with our basic rules, prerequisites, and due diligence requirements for adding new digital assets to the platform will be published next week, as well as interesting insights from our Meet the Manager events in Hong Kong and Singapore. Keep an eye on our Events page for updates!
