So big one here with the news directly from blockfolio and here is what they have to say;
First of all an explanation of Status
Status is an open source messaging platform and mobile browser to interact with decentralized applications that run on the Ethereum Network.
With Status your mobile device becomes a light client node on the Ethereum Network, enabling you to access Ethereum’s entire ecosystem from anywhere.
Status is more than a messenger. Send payments and smart contracts to friends from within chats, and enjoy encrypted messaging by default, using a peer-to-peer protocol that doesn’t rely on centralized servers.
When can you get some Status for yourself?
The Contribution Period will start on June 17th 2017 at 2pm GMT (UTC+0) and will end on 1 July 2017 at 2pm GMT (UTC+0), or within 24 hours after the First Ceiling has been reached.
And a bit about the team.
Carl and Jarrad, the cofounders of Status, have worked together for several years, most recently building a successful software distribution network. They have attracted a talented team of 12+ as well as a number of respected advisors.

So we can't send ETH from an exchange. Am I going to need to set up an "myethwallet" and send it from there?
That is correct, also if you want to get into any of these erc20 tokens it's better to have the myethwallet.
I'm currently Alpha testing the app, I'll be back with more info in a bit.
So currently I have several coins in exchanges and I am ready to have my address in my possession. So myethwallet isnt an exchange? Myethwallet will allow me to havey keys secure?
No it is not an exchange and I do believe so, that having been said I have not done an in depth look at myethwallet.
Here is what i can tell you for their allowed security options:
Keystore file (utc/jcon) which is a file u download when creating the wallet
Private key
Mnemonic phrase
Ledger Nano S
Trezor
