Over 50% of INX’s fundraise through a regulated token sale are in the form of crypto payments.
On Monday, May 3, blockchain-based cryptocurrency and security tokens trading platform INX Limited made an important announcement. The INX platform completed its first-ever SEC-approved token sale through an Initial Public Offering (IPO).
Calling it the first SEC-registered token IPO, INX announced an estimated fundraise of $85 million in gross proceeds from the token sales. Also, it announced that nearly 7200 retail and institutional players participated in this funding. However, these are not the only funds that the company has raised. When combined with the CA$39.6 million private placement before its planned listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) INX Limited has raised over $125 million for the platform launch.

Of the total fundraise, crypto payments received in Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and USD Coin (USDC) accounted for more than 50%. However, the company converted all its crypto payments received into US Dollars.
INX Limited will use these for the launch and functioning of a fully integrated cryptocurrency and digital securities trading platform. Moreover, being the first company to complete the SEC-registered IPO is a major milestone for INX.

“We have built a state-of-the-art digital asset trading platform and a strong team of over 50 top talents that we plan to grow rapidly this year. With the successful completion of our IPO, we are well positioned to execute on our vision to shape the future of capital markets with new and exciting financial instruments – based on blockchain and digital assets. I want to thank our management, partners, community and advisors for making this vision and this journey possible.”
