Vaultbank Raises $3 Million, Launches Vaultbank Fund
Vaultbank (www.vaultbank.io), the cryptocurrency exchange platform for buying, selling, and trading asset-backed tokens, today announced it has raised over $3 million in funding, reaching the soft cap for its VB token sale. VB tokens are currently being distributed to Vaultbank token sale backers. The company also announced the launch of the Vaultbank Fund, which provides the main asset-backing of each VB token and intends to pay quarterly dividends in Ethereum (ETH). Of the $3 million raised in the VB token sale, $1.3 million has been allocated to the Vaultbank Fund, providing the main yields to be used for potential dividends which are expected to be distributed at the end of Q2, 2018.
"At Vaultbank, we're building a suite of financial services to support the evolution of cryptocurrency trading and investing, and the Vaultbank Fund is a major feature of this effort," said Christopher Cummock, Co-Founder and Chief Compliance Officer. "We are pleased by the support from our backers in the VB token sale, and look forward to continuing to build out our platform and fund offerings."
