Santiment, the datafeeds platform for showing the true state of the crypto-markets, has successfully closed its two-stage token crowdsale on July 5, 2017, raising a total of $12,215,250 USD worth of ETH. Santiment raised 32,000 ETH in a preliminary community sale, followed by a pre-sale facilitated by Cofound.it’s Priority Pass community, which raised 13,000 ETH in less than 60 seconds. Santiment became the first project to partner with Cofound.it, a platform for nurturing and incubating the world’s most innovative startups planning crowdsales.
Santiment Founder Maksim Balashevich said: “Santiment is proud to announce the successful sell-out of our token crowdsale. Now that the offering is complete, we can accelerate our mission to give crypto critical information packaged in an ideal interface so that traders can make optimal data-driven decisions in rapidly-surging markets. We are immensely grateful for the support of our community. Their support makes our quest to deliver data and analytics to the crypto-markets possible.”
Santiment’s crowdsale commenced with a community sale on July 4, 2017 for its most engaged supporters, followed by a sale via Cofound.it’s Priority Pass community on July 5 that reached the overall cap. The result means Santiment will not hold its public crowdsale planned for July 6, 2017.
Cofound.it CEO and Co-founder Jan Isakovic said: “Cofound.it is delighted to have partnered with Santiment in their crowdsale process, and cemented Cofound.it Priority Pass as a best practice for crowdsales in 2017. The highly successful sale will help to establish Santiment as the leading datafeeds platform for the crypto community and mature the rapidly growing crypto-market.”

Thanks to the enormous support of our community, Santiment can continue to build out its mobile and web terminal. Moreover, the crowdsale places Santiment in prime position to establish itself as the financial market data and content platform of choice for the cryptocurrency and blockchain space, comparable to the position that Bloomberg and Thomson Reuters hold in traditional financial markets.”
