2018 is already shaping up to be a great year. We are preparing to deliver another amazing array of improvements, progress, and new features, such as the real-time assets under management tracker we released today.

Looking Ahead

At the end of December, we released “ICONOMI in 2018,” outlining some of our achievements in the past year and previewing our goals for 2018, including fees payable in ICN, a fiat ramp-up, and a Big Four audit, among many others.

New Executive Team Members

We were proud to announce two new additions to the team, Matej Tomazin and Miha Vidmar. As COO, Matej will use his vast financial experience to the digital asset management industry to help make ICONOMI the best place to diversify your digital portfolio. Miha’s extensive knowledge of complex systems and more than fifteen years of experience creating software solutions for the financial industry will ensure ICONOMI remains the leader in digital asset management technology.

Higher Tier 1 Deposit and Withdrawal Limits

We have upgraded our identity verification system and increased Tier 1 deposit and withdrawal limits, now offering support for 187 countries. Make sure to verify your account if you haven’t done so already.

Users who do not want to verify to Tier 1 will be able to withdraw up to $5,000 of funds from the platform until January 31, 2018. We strongly recommend withdrawing your funds before the deadline. After the deadline, funds will be locked, and you will need to contact our support team for any further action.

New DAA Managers and DAA Insights

New DAA Managers

  • DAA manager Matjaz Rakovec is an accomplished professional with over twenty years of experience in insurance, finance, and investment. His Global Blockchain Arrays — Top 15 (GBA15) DAA is composed of fifteen equally weighted digital assets with the highest market capitalization and high trading volume that are supported by the ICONOMI platform.
  • DAA manager Francis Lee has been a cryptocurrency investor and trader since 2014. His Future Crypto Economy (FCE) DAA aims to provide a combination of highly innovative projects that will stand the test of time and proven coins with consistent trajectories.
