New DAA Managers and DAA Insights

DAA Insights
- Juraj Bilik, Juraj Hlista and Karol Skocik of JJK Crypto Assets explored the innovative potential of blockchain, the growing crypto scene in Slovakia, and more.

Events & Media
We have created a new events page to help you stay up to date with upcoming events. After London, our next Meet the Managers event will be taking place in Madrid. Keep an eye on our events page to find out when ICONOMI will be coming to a city near you!
Conferences Attended
- ICONOMI attended the 7th Annual European Family Office Winter Symposium from February 26–27 in London. The symposium demonstrated that while blockchain understanding remains low, awareness is growing rapidly. ICONOMI representatives made many new connections and relationships, developing a base for long-term cooperation.
- Matej Tomazin, ICONOMI COO, spoke at Moje Finance’s event in Ljubljana, which focused on the future of financing entrepreneurial ideas and investing money.
Upcoming Blockchain Conferences
In April, ICONOMI will attend Prestel and Partner’s Family Office Forum in Wiesbaden, where company leaders will present ICONOMI to a broader, traditional audience.
ICONOMI Meet the Managers Event
Following the success of our first Meet the Managers event in Vienna, we will be hosting further events around the world, beginning in London on March 29. Don’t miss your chance to connect with other leading industry figures and join us in London!

New Features & Releases
We introduced fees payable in ICN for DAA creation, rebalancing, and tokenization. To read more about these fees and about our new buyback system, read our full blog post.
We will introduce DAA creation and rebalancing fees in May, together with a new back-end features related to these aspects of the platform. DAA tokenization fees will be introduced in April, and the adjusted buyback system will take effect on July 1.
With the most recent Android app update, Android users can now verify for Tier 1 directly on their phones. Download the updated app in the Play Store.
Android App Update
Verifying through the ICONOMI mobile apps is a much easier and more efficient process for our users, and we recommend it over verifying through browser access.
For the smoothest experience, please follow our recommendations and pointers for successfully verifying for Tier 1 verification.
New Supported Countries
Fourteen new countries are now supported for Tier 2 verification on the ICONOMI platform (Angola, Australia, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Namibia, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, Taiwan, and Thailand), bringing the total supported countries for Tier 2 to 63. Read more in our blog post.
Two-Factor Authentication for Withdrawals
Withdrawal 2FA allows users to divide authentication across two separate devices: one device can be used for login 2FA, and another device can be used for withdrawal 2FA, ensuring no single point of failure. It is especially applicable for company accounts, allowing these two roles to be split between two different people.
Withdrawal 2FA adds a second layer of protection for assets stored on the ICONOMI platform. We always stress the importance of keeping your assets safe, and features like this really make a difference.
