Brilliant Crypto sets record for highest IEO participation, starts trading on Coincheck
Coincheck reported that the “Coincheck Initial Exchange Offering (IEO)” service for the Brilliant Crypto Token (BRIL) received applications amounting to 33.3 billion yen from 79,400 applicants, setting new records for the highest JPY value and number of applicants of any IEO conducted on Coincheck IEO to date.
The IEO closed purchase applications on June 10, 2024 and a lottery was conducted. Lottery result notifications and BRIL distribution to winners was carried out on June 11 and June 12, 2024. Additionally, trading of BRIL commenced on June 17 on the Coincheck Exchange and the Over-the-Counter Market (once sufficient liquidity has been reached).
Alongside the BRIL IEO, Coincheck also conducted an “INO” (Initial NFT Offering) for the “Tsuruhanashi NFT” collection, which is required to play the blockchain game “Brilliant Crypto”. All applicants of the BRIL IEO were granted a pre-order slot to participate in the “Tsuruhanashi NFT” pre-order sales that started on June 12, 2024. The “Tsuruhanashi NFT” is an item necessary to obtain BRIL and gems within the “Brilliant Crypto” game that was released on June 17, 2024, and this INO presented the earliest and most affordable opportunity to acquire it.
