FTW Token SEX #05: Why Whitelist0x Is Chosen Over Other Security Token Platforms.

Welcome to the 5th edition of the FTW Token SEX Series. A Series of blog posts by the Whitelist0x Team, well … inspired by weird tickers in the blockchain fundraising sphere. Read more about the First Series Here.

“We spent weeks, days, and nights … studying the core values most security token issuers would like to be provided that are currently not offered by other security token platforms. Every issuer would like to … create more liquidity, refrain from ‘fake advisors’, create values for their money, earn ‘not buy’ media credibility, create solid marketing campaigns, and build effective investor relations not fake telegram chats.” Said Banjo.

Some of the core values Whitelist0x provides security token issuers include but not limited to free securities exchange listing, free strategic advisory, refund policy, public relations, integrated marketing, and investor relations.

FREE Exchange Listing.

A security token offering is still very much in its early stage as there are only a few out there and most security token exchanges currently aren’t live due to regulatory approval, etc. This brought up the question of liquidity for most security token issuers as this is one of their core priority. Moreover, the listing cost is another factor affecting issuers.

“Around half a dozen market participants, from investors to CEOs of companies with their own coins, told Business Insider that some exchanges are charging anywhere between $50,000 to $1 million to get their tokens listed.” Business Insider.

While not all exchanges are equal, since most are unregulated, volumes and other activities could be fishy. And some would even go between $100k to $200k. The BIG question now is … would regulated security token exchanges charge issuers their lives all because they are regulated and compliant? Before that happens, Whitelist0x is launching its own security token exchange [ currently pending broker-dealer approval ] to list all the security tokens issued via its platform without a single cost attached.

“We currently have over 500 small businesses who have shown interest in tokenizing their company’s equities, more than 100 of which have registered in our pilot program along with over 25,000 accredited and 100,000 non — accredited investors in our whitelist.” Said Banjo.

FREE Strategic Advisory.

Corruption creeps into everything. Some people are just out for the money and the blockchain is a convenient tool for them; from fraudulent token offerings to fake team members to greedy advisors and endless rating agencies accepting payment to promote offerings without doing basic due diligence. When it comes to public relations, integrated marketing, and investor relations, security token issuers should look no further than the FREE strategic advisory the team at Whitelist0x provides.

Refund Policy.

There are three [ 3 ] stages every issuer needs to take before issuing their security tokens via Whitelist0x. These are the proposal, evaluation, and approval stages. The Company does have an evaluation fee and security fee which is required to be paid by every issuer prior to moving their proposal to the evaluation stage and approval stage respectively. Depending on the package chosen, both the evaluation and security fees are fully refundable. More information about this is provided here.

Add-On Public Relations.

While it’s not common for an issuer to see a security token platform providing extensive public relations as add-ons to their services at no cost, Whitelist0x leverages its extensive relationships with more than 10,000 media outlets to help security token issuers earn and build ‘not buy’ robust credibility with the general public.

Add-On Integrated Marketing.

It’s not a usual thing for a security token platform to provide marketing and promotional solutions for their issuers, most would only offer their infrastructure a.k.a. the technical side and issuers are generally on their own in terms of marketing — wise. However, it’s a different scenario with Whitelist0x as the Company provides an extensive integrated marketing to promote its issuer’s offerings.

“We are not trying to be everything as an issuer wouldn’t want to go to bed, wake up the next day and boom! $20m has been raised. Nah! Whitelist0x is not an advertising agency, and public relations, integrated marketing, and investor relations ain’t same with advertising. Thus, every issuer still has their homework to do — with sponsored contents”. Said Banjo.

Add-On Investor Relations.

Investor relations is not the same as public relations, but a subset of it. Most security token issuers might easily get this wrong as Telegram is recently seen as a means of communicating with investors. Wrong, huh? With Whitelist0x, issuers can gain access to deep and trusting investor relationships built through years of quality service provided by professionals. Media list includes financial, cryptocurrency, and investment circuits. Furthermore, the Whitelist0x investor relations solution includes drafting of various disclosure documents such as Private Placement Memorandum, filing with the SEC and various securities regulators in other jurisdictions.

Whitelist0x is what it is :: a Whitelisting Firm. That says it all. However, there’s more beyond the name. Whitelist0x focuses on helping small businesses go public to raise funds via the security token offering mechanism. Unlike similar security token platforms that only offer technical solutions, Whitelist0x enables private companies to launch extensive public relations, integrated marketing, and investor relations campaigns, draft various offering documents such as prospectus, file with securities regulators in the U.S. and various other jurisdictions, and then issue security tokens that represent shares and allow shareholders a stake in their company’s equity as well as a share in their profits in form of dividends, interests, and so on.
