Client Spotlight: LCX

LCX (Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange) is providing the perfect platform for people to issue their own crypto tokens and provide tools to help manage the whole process. Before diving into the main topic of LCX,  let’s quickly break down some terminology that’s foundational to what will be discussed.

Explaining ICO & Crypto Tokens

An ICO (Initial Coin Offering) is the crypto equivalent of an IPO (Initial Public Offering). ICOs are a great way for companies to raise funds for projects that are tied to cryptocurrency. When buying into an ICO, the investor will receive a cryptocurrency token. This token could have some utility or symbolize a stake in the company. 

In order to get an ICO successfully started, a person should find a reputable trading venue that will host the token. This is where LCX comes into the picture.

LCX takes a very rigorous approach when it comes to reviewing applications. To shed light on this process, Sumit Sagar, product marketing manager for LCX, said, “LCX prides itself very much in its rigorous due diligence process before deciding to work with a project for launching their token. This is done to protect the investors who have signed up at LCX from any malicious projects and scams.”

Below you can find the criteria that they use to review an application:

• Project team: What are the long-term goals of the team, and how will they steer themselves toward a successful future?
• Project Technical Background: LCX is looking for teams that are experienced and innovative in the world of crypto.
• Project Ethics & Vision: LCX believes that no matter how valuable a project may seem, a weak go-to-market strategy can negate everything.
• Project Community: The state of a project’s community is very important. They ultimately decide how a project will perform.
• Project Regulatory Framework: Looking at the company’s legal setup and whether it meets compliance requirements of where the project is registered.

Building Legitimacy in the Crypto Space 

That last part mentioned ways that LCX is combating scams. Crypto is a fast-growing industry and many laws and regulations are still being put into place to properly regulate it. Some people take advantage of this to produce their own malicious crypto projects in hopes of scamming unsuspecting users. This in part has given crypto a shady and uncertain look, which has been a challenge for LCX to overcome. According to Sagar, LCX builds legitimacy by obtaining the proper legal licenses and seeking counsel from trusted business advisors. 

Crypto Advice

With new businesses and projects launching on a daily basis, it can be difficult to establish a solid foothold in the crypto market, but Sumit Sagar provided some advice on how to be successful.

• Be as unique as possible. Take a look at what your competitors are not doing.
• Constantly market your company and product(s). The most promising projects can be easily forgotten by not maintaining a strong presence
• Grow your company by networking with others in the industry
• Nearly every trader/crypto investor are opting for mobile apps over desktop, so make sure to have a working app
• Offer value to your users to create a strong, lasting community
