Highlight of the fortnight
Fetch.ai to hold Catalyst Sale on Bitfinex
On 18 August FET was listed on Bitfinex and we’re excited to follow that development with the news that we have been selected by Bitfinex for its inaugural secondary token sale program: Catalyst Sales.
The sale will begin at 10am UTC on 27 August. Learn more about Catalyst Sales.
1 million FET tokens (the equivalent of less than 0.09% of the total amount of FET tokens that will ever exist) will be available in the limited sale. In the run-up to the sale, we are also holding a trading competition. The winner will receive 40,000 FET. The competition closes on 25 August though so get involved while you can!
