Introduction to Regolith
Regolith is is an entire ecosystem of financial and investment instruments. Let’s start with a brief background.
In 2016, buying shares on the background market and even more so participating in an IPO was quite a complicated process. It was not easy for investors to enter into a contract and start working with brokerage companies. Many securities market participants lacked personal offices for clients and managerial feedback. In a nutshell, broker service was far from being as high quality and customer-oriented as it is today. Moreover, the word “broker” alone was something very difficult to understand if you were not a professional investor.
A team of 4 entrepreneurs at the time, working with one of the brokers, saw this as an opportunity to launch their own project, which would stand out against the rest as being open, transparent and accessible to clients. They set out to create an honest, straightforward and easy-to-understand asset-buying platform and did not intend to be limited to securities.
They needed a symbolic name for the launch, Regolith. Generally speaking, regolith is a moon rock, and in fact, it is perceived as something almost unattainable. The whole secret is that only astronauts who have been to the Earth’s satellite are able to reach and touch it. Also Regolith and the expression “to the moon” are perceived as a certain concept, as a state of mind about continuous development, moving forward, primarily concerning the qualitative and quantitative improvement of the products provided.
Thus, in 2016, Regolit launched a service for analytics, assistance in opening, maintaining accounts and buying shares at IPOs, i.e. it provided advisory services to its clients, replacing the broker’s support service. Over several years, a powerful team of analysts was assembled, the range of products was expanded, offering opportunities to make money through investment services for both beginners and experts in the stock market.
In 2020 they added the service of counting, drawing up and filing tax returns, when the base of active clients numbered more than 100 people working through brokers from different countries.
That’s how Regolith began to scale, evolving into an independent project. The key reasons of the successful development are full commitment of the team, payment only from profitable deals, positive feedback from the clients. Moreover, let’s note that the client base was expanding not through advertising, but through word-of-mouth, thanks to the referral program, the essence of which was that Regolith shared its profits with active investors.
Concluding with the history, we should emphasize that the end of 2021 marked the transition to a new stage. This was facilitated by getting to know the professionals of the American financial asset market. The future Regolith partners liked the concept and idea of the project, so they took the initiative to launch a larger international investment platform.
Gradually more sophisticated products for investing were introduced, such as real estate, arbitrage, gold, cryptocurrency and others. In other words, working with markets was becoming an understandable reality for every investor at every level.
By 2022, Regolith was a collection of financial and economic products. It also included an internet platform, client service, and a personal account through which transactions could be tracked. Basically, everything you need for a clear, easy and transparent work with the platform for clients from different countries.
Among other things, Regolith has additional advantages compared to other structures. While some foreign jurisdictions do not allow direct purchase of securities on the U.S. stock market, the Regolith mechanism does. For example, “Regolith” within the framework of Pre-IPO owns shares of Discord (new generation messenger), SpaceX (American company, space equipment manufacturer), Metamask (software cryptocurrency wallet, used for interaction with Ethereum blockchain), OpenSea (NFT trading platform), Qwil (the world’s first B2B SaaS instant messaging platform between financial companies), Dataminr (one of the world’s leading leaders in artificial intelligence), Klarna (a fintech company that provides financial services online) and this is by no means the entire list of available assets.
In most cases, Regolith acquires securities directly through the company’s board of directors. At the same time, a corresponding certificate from the issuer is issued, confirming the official status of the Investor of this Company, which can say a lot about Regolith’s approach.
Moreover, the first fractional NFT (non-fungible tokens) FRANC club was recently opened. Potential and existing clients can invest in the lot and become members. In large part, this was made possible by the acquisition of the NFT monkey image from BAYC (short for “Bored Ape Yacht Club”), where the total collection of NFTs from BAYC is valued at a billion dollars.
To wrap up the introduction, I’d like to point out that you shouldn’t identify “Regolith” with one or two products. “Regolith is an entire ecosystem of financial and investment instruments that are continuously working in different directions and continuing to evolve, thinking on an increasingly global scale.
