Quoine launches ICO platform on Qryptos
Quoine, a cryptocurrency startup from Japan, has launched its ICO Mission Control platform, an all-in-one initial coin offering (ICO) execution service. The platform is initially being implemented into Quoine’s Qryptos exchange before being integrated into the forthcoming Liquid platform for which Quoine raised a staggering US$105 million[1] in its token sale in late 2017.

From our own ICO experience, we decided to build a platform that solves the problems we faced and provide a tool for blockchain projects around the globe.”
ICO Mission Control is an end-to-end solution designed to help blockchain startups and teams conduct token sales securely, transparently, all the while remaining compliant with KYC and AML requirements.
Token issuers receive real-time data on the token sale, including performance driven marketing analytics. ICO settlement occurs in real-time which minimizes the uncertainty and risk inherent in the current standalone ICO processes. Additionally, token issuers that conduct their ICOs through ICO Mission Control will automatically have their tokens listed on Quoine’s cryptocurrency exchange Qryptos, ensuring secondary market trading. By mid-year, Qryptos will merge into Liquid.
