2018 has witnessed a flood of initial coin offerings. While a few projects have survived and gone on to pursue powerful developments, a vast portion have not made it past first quarter of operations. It’s true that most start-ups fail, but it’s abnormal for such an excessive amount of developments to collapse within a few months.

The ICO eruption has lead to haphazard funding of unqualified teams.

Initial coin offerings have given opportunities to entrepreneurs all over the world, but not everyone has the caliber of drive and conceptual clarity of project vision to actually develop a sustainable operation. And investors, in the blockchain space, are now starting to recognize this. However, ICOs were intended to keep project funding decentralized, and this cannot be sustained if people need to thoroughly vet the projects—everyday people have jobs to do.

A Complete Digital Asset Platform

Iconiq is a company that aims to provide a digital asset management ecosystem that can retain the decentralization of venture capital, while also providing advanced enterprise-grade investment instruments.

Iconiq is creating an ecosystem for credible, trustworthy, and effective investment opportunities in digital assets.

Following its successful ICO earlier this year, Iconiq went on to develop its startup incubator, Iconiq Lab. This incubator is supporting the development of blockchain-enabled startups that stand to actualize the utility of disruptive concepts. Iconiq gets hundreds of applications; thus, they handle the vetting process on behalf of everyday people. The selected applicants are given the necessary knowledge to develop successful projects.

Once the Iconiq alumni are ready to launch their own ICOs, ICNQ holders are able to access investments at incredible discounts, an opportunity that had been limited to only wealthy investors.

Iconiq is properly pursuing its goal of decentralizing venture capital, while developing a digital asset management ecosystem. Indeed, ICNQ tokens up investment opportunities in tokens; the unique factor here is that these tokens allow access to invest in properly vetted projects.

The efforts by Iconiq will ensure investors are able to retain trust in the Crypto market. This is an industry in which scams are rampant and unqualified teams, sadly, are given funds that they cannot manage.

This is a sure-recipe to eliminate the future of cryptocurrencies and ICOs, but Iconiq’s team is working hard to ensure this space is given a greater degree of credibility by bringing their expertise to the availability of truly dedicated teams.

Regulatory Demands

Iconiq is also aiming to keep its digital asset management ecosystem future-proof. Cryptocurrencies have attracted the attention of global authorities and regulation is inevitable. Rather than pursuing means to dodge the regulatory demands, Iconiq is adopting them through the launch of Iconiq Funds.

Regulatory approval will be an inevitable part of advanced Crypto securities and while the vast portion of financial products in the Crypto market attempts to dodge regulations, Iconiq Funds has the competitive edge.

Iconiq is partnering up with BITA to launch index funds; managed funds will then be able to utilize the platform to launch advanced investment products.

While a number of developments are touting their goal of adopting regulations, it’s important to note, once again, that the cryptocurrency market is rampant with scams. Iconiq’s goal will be once again targeting the provision of reliable investment products. Iconiq Funds’ team has the expertise to vet fund managers that aim to provide new Crypto-centric investment products and they also have the industry grasp to provide consultancy on the proper means to introducing advanced investment vehicles to the Crypto market.

Iconiq Funds aims to instill confidence in investors. The team has worked in major financial institutions and Vanguard, the leading ETF issuer. This allows them to be well-positioned to launch credible, new investment vehicles in this market.

A Maltese Professional Investment Fund (PIF) is taking the lead in utilizing Iconiq’s offering. The fund manages over one hundred million Euros. The Fund’s AUM will enable the development of a new class of Crypto assets, including ETFs and ETNs. Thus, Iconiq is justifiably on the path to become the premier digital asset management ecosystem.

Wrap-Up: Iconiq is paving a future of digital assets where investors are given convenience and confidence. The development will establish a reliable provision of investment opportunities in a space that is plagued with scams; Iconiq’s mission will play a critical role in instilling new confidence in the Crypto market. Its team is utilizing its rich background in the financial and investment markets to both vet quality startups and launch enterprise-grade investment tools.
