Rapids November Update
The 2018 holidays rapidly approach as the crypto community continues to endure one of the most prolonged bear cycles to impact the market. Many cryptocurrency projects are holding fast, patiently awaiting the impending bull market and the elusive “mass adoption” we all would like to achieve. Since the last project update in October, Rapids has been steadily gaining momentum as exchange listings have been sought, beneficial partnerships have undergone negotiations, prospective members have been contacted, vetted, and added to the team, and more roadmap goals near completion.
For the month of November, the Rapids team is proud to announce several updates and advancements for the project pointing to a promising future for RPD holders and social media users alike. First, we would like to start off by informing you of additional members of the Rapids team:
- John Dough — Social Marketing Advisor
- Justin Szilagyi— PR Director
These two team members have an impressive and reputable background, specializing in Public Relations and social media strategy — John Dough and Justin Szilagyi will take the lead in social media marketing as well as public relations, legality, and market psychology, respectively. Since Rapids is a social media cryptocurrency, the fit is ideal as the addition of these two members will assist to solidify the social media networks, social following, and public image of Rapids.
The next bout of exciting news includes a partnership, a new exchange listing, and a strategic, philanthropic sponsorship:
- Rapids has partnered with and is trading on SWFT
- RPD is now trading on the Mercatox exchange
- Rapids has become a community sponsor of Tour de Crypto
The partnership with SWFT includes both collaboration between the Rapids project and SWFT, as well as a listing of RPD upon the SWFT platform. This partnership allows Rapids to list the RPD asset on SWFT’s “one-stop cross-chain transfer solution,” and exchange RPD between various assets listed through SWFT. The platform hosted by SWFT facilitates fast, secure, and simple transactions from blockchain to blockchain, aligning with the goals laid out in the Rapids whitepaper. The following list is comprised of the partnerships displayed on the SWFT website, hinting at a certain synergy for Rapids and other top brands in the crypto space:
Once the RPD token was listed on BiteBTC and Crex 24, the Rapids team reached out to more exchanges to continue the momentum. The next exchange featuring RPD/BTC trading pairs is the established Mercatox exchange. With Mercatox in the top 100 cryptocurrency exchanges by 24-hour volume per coinmarketcap.com, this exchange opens more doors for trading RPD amongst top digital assets and broadens the range of knowledge concerning Rapids and the central goal of fast, secure, and effortless social media payments.
Last but certainly not least according to importance, the Rapids team has committed to sponsoring the prominent charitable endeavor, Tour de Crypto. The Tour de Crypto has set out to raise both funding for charitable organizations and to raise awareness of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology across the United States. This venture features cyclists riding across the continental U.S. in an effort to accomplish support for charities through the donation of cryptocurrencies and digital assets. A favorable side effect of the Tour de Crypto undertaking has been to establish an appreciation for cryptocurrencies and their contribution to our modern financial world, propelling digital assets that much closer to mass adoption.
The Rapids team is thrilled to deliver all of these announcements and intends to present further updates as the project continues and as the new year approaches.
