NEW YORK, May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-- Over 7,200 retail and institutional investors participated in the world's 
first SEC-registered token IPO. Final amount raised to be confirmed following 
approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange

INX Limited ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3148456-1&h=215177279&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inx.co%2F&a=INX+Limited 
) ("INX" or the "Company"), the blockchain-based platform for trading digital 
securities and cryptocurrencies, is pleased to announce today that it has 
officially closed the first SEC-registered token IPO with an estimated $85 
million in gross proceeds from token sales, received from over 7,200 
institutional and general public (retail) investors. When combined with the 
pending CA$39.6 million private placement ahead of its planned listing on the 
TSXv (reported earlier this month), and previously-closed private token sales, 
INX expects to have raised over $125 million for the launch and operation of 
the INX fully-regulated trading platform for cryptocurrencies and digital 
securities.

INX is the world's first company to debut and successfully complete an 
SEC-registered IPO of a blockchain security token (the INX Token). This 
breakthrough achievement opens the path for legal, regulated and safe capital 
raising and trading for both enterprises and early-stage companies by issuance 
of security tokens as an alternative to legacy equity offerings. INX plans to 
enable both cryptocurrency and security token trading as well as capital raise 
listings of security tokens.

Shy Datika, INX Co-Founder and President has commented: "When we founded INX in 
2017, we envisioned a new future of what we called 'Capital Markets 2.0'. A 
vision of digital securities replacing the role of equity in the markets for 
capital raising and trading. Cryptocurrency exchanges are taking center stage. 
A revolutionary new technology is being implemented. We anticipate that the 
majority of financial assets will soon move onto the blockchain."

"We have built a state-of-the-art digital asset trading platform and a strong 
team of over 50 top talents that we plan to grow rapidly this year.  With the 
successful completion of our IPO, we are well positioned to execute on our 
vision to shape the future of capital markets with new and exciting financial 
instruments - based on blockchain and digital assets. I want to thank our 
management, partners, community and advisors for making this vision and this 
journey possible."
     
In 2017, our vision and targets were:

    - To launch an unprecedented blockchain IPO under a prospectus filed 
      with the SEC 
    - To develop a regulated trading platform for all blockchain based 
      assets; and 
    - To raise $117 million to execute on our vision and business plan

"I am proud to share that we have now achieved these goals. We have received 
commitments for over $125 million in proceeds resulting from our successful 
sale of over 100 million INX tokens and a CA$39.6 million private placement 
ahead of our TSXv equity listing. (The completion of the TSXv listing is 
subject to the satisfaction of various standard conditions)."

The INX Token Holder Community

The company's foundation has been built by our more than 7,200-strong community 
of token holders who will now work with us to introduce INX to others.

It was always our goal to find a way for investors across the income and age 
spectrum to have the opportunity to invest in early-stage companies, an 
opportunity that before INX, was largely reserved for accredited investors, 
private equity and venture capital companies. 

We are pleased to report that we met this goal. INX Tokens were bought by 
retail and institutional investors in 75 countries, with more than 61,000 
investors expressing interest but unable to invest in the IPO in part due to 
Blue Sky restrictions.

In terms of investor demographics, those aged 60+ purchased 11%, 50-59 
purchased 24%, 40-49 purchased 30%, 30-39 purchased 26%, and under 30 purchased 
9% of the offering. The average age of the participants was 42. 

Payments for the tokens were almost evenly split with 54% from the 
cryptocurrencies BTC, ETH and USDC (which were converted to US dollars), and 
46% coming from US dollar wires. 

The token offering outside of the United States was advised by A-Labs Advisory 
and Finance Ltd. The private placement was in Canada managed by PI Financial 
Corp. and Eight Capital, and co-led by Beacon Securities Limited and Cormark 
Securities Inc..
