Holdex and ChainPlus open the doors to compliant fundraising in China via Hong Kong

HONG KONG, January 14, 2019 — Today Holdex, the leading compliance-focused decentralised fundraising platform, and ChainPlus, the one-stop marketing service offering visibility in China to overseas projects, officially joined forces to make it even easier for blockchain projects running on the Holdex platform to connect with investors in China.

Founded at the end of November 2017 by blockchain enthusiasts Vadim Zolotokrylin, Giorgia Pellizzari and Mark Curchin, Holdex aims at making smart contract-based fundraising accessible to the many projects while providing all the tools necessary to stay compliant and secure.

The rise of cryptocurrencies and tokenisation started nothing less than a revolution in 2014, shaking the very foundations of the fundraising industry. First, crypto crowdfunding (most commonly known as ICOs, or Initial Coin Offerings) boomed with over 12 billion USD raised in 4 years. Now, following the increased involvement of regulatory bodies in the ecosystem, the market has settled putting institutional and professional investors back at the center of attention, making services like ChainPlus’ invaluable for projects fundraising in Asia.

“For us it’s all about helping projects raising funds. Our core skills are in product development but we know that a lot still happens offline in this industry and in this market. We just entered the era of tokenised assets, which comes with many unknowns around it. The only way forward, in our opinion, is to come together with other trusted companies — like ChainPlus — and focus on doing what we all are best at to serve the many great projects out there”, says Vadim, Holdex CEO. He then continues: “Our goal with Holdex is to provide projects with access to everything they need — whether it is technology, knowledge or connections — to get them the funds they need and ChainPlus has already shown to be an invaluable partner in this journey.”

“With the combination of Holdex’ software and our marketing services, we firmly believe that we can better serve any upcoming blockchain project, big or small. As we head into the new year and a new age for the blockchain industry we believe partnerships like this will be key in adapting to the ever-changing needs of companies in the space.” said Chainplus’ founder, Raymond Lam.

Chainplus worked with over 50 blockchain projects assisting with their marketing in China. Altogether the projects they’ve worked with have raised nearly 1 billion USD.
Partnering with ChainPlus is only the latest milestone in Holdex’ journey towards creating a global network to top providers for Security Token Offerings (or STOs). Holdex already boasts strategic partnerships with leading players in the industry of decentralised and trustless transactions such as Blockpass, Hosho, Entersoft and ChainSecurity, while integrating in its platform high profile compliance providers like Dow Jones and Coinfirm.
