THE ALL NEW ICONIQ HOLDING WHITEPAPER 2.0

Digital asset market capitalization reached record highs in 2018 and ICOs offer alternative funding mechanisms with improved liquidity for early-stage investors. With trustless custodial sources and decentralized wealth generation, allowing for global financial inclusion, it’s easy to see why digital assets are the fastest growing asset class today.
However, what is lacking in the digital asset space are standard investor quality assurances typically afforded to institutional and retail participants of the traditional financial markets. Regulated, trusted investment vehicles, such as ETFs and ETNs, are almost non-existent and many ICOs have been revealed as scams or do not perform long-term due to management teams being held to a lower level of accountability than traditional startups.
To bring professional digital asset management to the space, Iconiq Holding launched Iconiq Lab in early 2017 as the world’s first decentralized VC club, and Iconiq Funds in 2018, an asset manager issuing a series of digital asset index funds capturing the top cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as well as an Asset Manager as a Service (“AMaaS”) platform. The entire Iconiq Holding digital asset management ecosystem is powered by the ICNQ token.
Iconiq Lab offers financing and professional company building to blockchain startups and quality investment opportunities to investors through its decentralized VC club and ICO accelerator.
Through its unique platform, Iconiq Funds offers professional digital asset management with regulated, structured vehicles. By integrating premium market data, trade execution, custody, auditing and compliance tools, investors will gain diversified exposure to the highest growing asset class in the market today through traditional investment structures such as ETFs and ETNs.
The ICNQ token powers the Iconiq Holding ecosystem through privileged rights offered to holders and is redeemable as a voucher instrument for in-ecosystem services. ICNQ holders receive access to exclusive Iconiq Lab graduate presales and Iconiq Funds share classes with reduced management fees. As a voucher, ICNQ is used by all funds to pay management fees. 10% of all redeemed voucher tokens are burned on a quarterly basis, and ecosystem behavior is incentivized through a loyalty rewards program distributing ICNQ tokens to longtime club members.
