Today, there are many cryptocurrencies around. Since their inception, their market capitalization have grown tremendously and is now valued at +$650 billion. However, this value doesn’t fully represent where the market should be. The fact that there are now too many cryptocurrencies to choose from has birthed the problem of choice which consequently leads to increased cost, complexity, and the need for advice. Also, the extreme volatility, high risk and complexity peculiar to the cryptocurrency market makes it increasingly difficult to buy and safely store various collection of cryptocurrencies. It is thought that there is still wide margin for growth, using Gold or US Equities as a reference. Therefore, the SMARTER THAN CRYPTO, the world’s first cryptocurrency-only SMARTER THAN BETA tokenized portfolio will autonomously maintain a collection of up to the top 20 cryptocurrencies, based on market capitalization. It should be noted that, the SMARTER THAN BETA strategy guarantees 40% more return and 40% less risk. Also, so as to have an efficient portfolio that hedges against risk and guarantees returns, the SMARTER THAN CRYPTO asset portfolio is constantly adjusted, i.e rebalanced. SMARTER THAN CRYPTO functions as a Comingled Managed Account (CMA) and has the lowest fees on offer in the entire cryptocurrency industry, due to the fact that it is independent and automated. SMARTER THAN CRYPTO has its token, a utility token that represents it, and can initially be acquired through the closed-cap token offering process. Very importantly, the tokens provided will represent a participant’s share of the SMARTER THAN CRYPTO portfolio. All monies contributed during the token offering will be used to buy the underlying cryptocurrencies. The SMARTER THAN CRYPTO token operates on the Ethereum blockchain and is ERC20 compliant. The blockchain enables the STC tokens to be globally accessible, transparent, traded all day-everyday, and can be publicly verified.

Very interesting, I followed through & read the website. So the (automated) system will invest 87% of the 98% taken from ICO into the top 20 crypto's, if I understand correctly. The rest used for costs etc. Let's assume as part of the top 20, the 20th coin in that list is ICON and 21 is Binance - is the idea that the autobot trade would trade one for the other, as and when conditions are triggered, eg the cap on ICON dips and Finance raises, trading positions 20-21 respectively...
At which point I assume, the assets held by STC would continue to be the top20? Thanks for the answer
