Dear investors, followers and friends,

The crypto market has shown significant contractions in the last few months. We’d like to assure you that this has no operative impact on our business. We have converted most of our capital raise into fiat a few months back.

The current correction of the market is not bad for us. It will reduce the speculative element in the field and reward companies that produce tangible outcomes like Smart Containers. We are confident to profit when the market picks up or stays constant.

Update on exchange listing strategy

We have been working tirelessly and are ready to launch our tokens on exchanges. However, as you can imagine, the current market contraction generates a particularly bad timing to list tokens at the moment. With the latest developments, a listing doesn’t make sense for us at this point of time. Let us explain why:

Successful tokens are measured by trade volume and value development in the first 2 weeks. This is when crypto traders evaluate if the token is worth observing. The higher the trade volume the more interest the token will raise and the better the token price is likely to develop. In the current market environment, trading volumes are low in general, which is unfavourable for a listing of any token.

Most investors have bought SMARC / LOGI tokens when the ETH price was around 450 USD and the BTC price close to 9'000 USD. Consequently, they will not want to sell tokens at this point of time but rather hold on to them. It is therefore fine for them if we wait for a market uplift before hitting the launch button.

Tokenholders that will probably like to sell are our bounty participants. They have received smaller amounts of tokens for their loyal contributions during our ICO. While this token amount is small, if these are thrown on the market while there is no buyer (due to bad market condition), the token price is likely to fall, which is not in the interest of the majority of token holders.

Consequently, the Smart Containers Team, together with their expert advisors have decided to postpone a token listing for the time being. Rest assured that we are ready to go live whenever the market conditions become more favourable. We will provide updates as soon as we see changes rising.

Please keep in mind that all our token holders, including ourselves, have aligned interests. It is our goal to list our tokens on qualitative, secure and scam free exchanges as fast as possible. Since FINMA (Swiss financial market authority) has qualified both our tokens as asset tokens, we need to find exchanges with according trading capabilities in compliance with local regulation.

Meanwhile, we have excellent news on the business side: please find the latest business update hereafter.

A growing network

Today, SkyCell containers can be used to more than 200 airport destinations. Worldwide. To further increase SkyCell’s global availability, we’ve expanded our service center network in the US and Asia.

On top of this we have decided to build up a dedicated SkyCell team in China. We see tremendous potential in addressing this specific market and have therefore translated our website and processes into Chinese. See here.

CO2 reduction champion in the industry

Sustainability is one of our three company core values and incredibly important to us. It has always been our goal to create better solutions for the industry as well as the environment. To us, providing the safest pharma containers worldwide is not enough. We also do our utmost to reduce CO2 emissions for each shipment. This gives us a purpose as a team.

To increase the visibility of CO2 emissions, SkyCell has mandated an independent party to analyse the ecological footprint of its containers. The results demonstrate significant CO2 savings of 35–50% if using a SkyCell container. Read more.
