FinNexus (FNX) ICTO will be conducted on Bitrue on May 11th!
A new type of public offering will allow users to either hold FinNexus’ native tokens, FNX, or convert them to the first tokenized product in the FinNexus ecosystem, UM1S, at their discretion! The ICTO provides a 3-month conversion period to maximize the suitability of the investment for different risk-return profiles. Holding FNX allows for active involvement in FinNexus ecosystem development, while holding UM1S provides a fixed return of around 10% APR. 5% APR could be equivalent to an additional 20% APR for the converted FNX tokens, and the ICTO could give the holders a bottom APR of 30% while with unlimited upward potential.
So, even if the price drops, 80% of FNX could be converted back at ICTO price with interest. No chance of a loss for the majority.
Moreover, Bitrue & FinNexus will arrange several events to celebrate the occasion with FNX tokens as a reward!

JAPANESE CRYPTO ECOSYSTEM
From very early on, Japan has been a crypto hub. Mt. Gox, the world’s biggest crypto exchange at the time, was a Japanese company. Roger Ver was promoting Bitcoin heavily in Tokyo and around the country during the first few years of Bitcoin’s existence.
Since 2016, Japan has officially recognized crypto as a type of money for making payments. This official recognition brought cryptocurrencies under the control of the Financial Services Agency in Japan. The FSA both legitimizes cryptocurrency and puts standards in place for operating a cryptocurrency exchange. So the Japan Virtual Currency Exchange Association was set up as a group of exchanges operating in the country who agree to follow certain rules and best practices while operating in Japan. There are only 22 cryptocurrencies available for trading for Japanese citizens.
Nowadays, Japan has 3.5 million citizens trading cryptocurrencies. Among Men aged 25-30, 14% own cryptocurrencies, this is a very high adoption rate and it places Japan at the forefront of cryptocurrency adoption worldwide.

DAO Maker has introduced a new approach for Token Sale - DYCO (Dynamic Coin Offering)
A DYCO offers its participants the ability to refund any token, no matter if they held them or sold them at a profit. 100% of the circulating supply is backed by USDC for the first 16 months after the Token Generation Event. The token supply remains static during this time. If the token value falls by more than 20% from the initial price, DYCO participants can generate risk free profits by buying tokens from the market and refunding them. Refunded tokens are automatically burned reducing the circulating supply by up to 100%.
