Why should you invest in Globcoin?

1. The best of both worlds
GLOBCOIN is the first to fill a gap between the crypto world and the world of “traditional” (fiat) currencies. We propose a solution for holders of cryptocurrencies who want to diversify at least part of their portfolio.Our cryptocurrency combines the benefits of Blockchain technology with the stability of a basket of “traditional currencies”, so you get all the advantages of both.

2. More stability, less volatility
With GLOBCOIN, you can lock-in the value of your crypto portfolio and protect it against drawdowns and volatility. Imagine you can manage your savings in several currencies and chose the most convenient one to you — That’s what our currency basket does. The correlation between the currencies in a basket helps to dampen volatility — a technique that has made our use case 1 basket (GLX) more stable than the Swiss Franc.

3. 100% backed token
Some investors fear the crypto trend because of the lack of real assets backing their value. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, GLOBCOIN is a token but it’s backed by real assets, one for one, with real creditworthiness at a custodian bank… our currency basket (GLX) is already traded for our large clients on a traditional foreign exchange forward market. So by construction, it will be 100% asset-backed and very stable.

4. Our prepaid multi-currency card
Our successful GLOBCOIN Multi-currency Prepaid MasterCard has been offered to clients in the SEPA region since June 2016. One of the very few cards in the world that allows you to hold several currency wallets, and also to add funds to them in advance to ensure favourable rates.

Right now, this card is free and exclusive to the first subscribers to the token sale (provided they are residents in one of the 34 countries within the European SEPA area).

It is the perfect solution for anyone looking to save money when travelling or sending money abroad. We plan to add our currency basket 1 (GLX) to the currencies available on the card — then after that, cryptocurrencies in the future.

5. Talented team
We do believe we have the best team for this. Our team combines FX and Blockchain experience, all in one successful entrepreneurship. Our CEO Helie d’Hautefort set up the first European currency overlay manager, sold it to BNP Paribas AM and turned it into a world leader with over USD 23 billion of AUM. Our CFO Linda brings nearly 20 years of banking and FX knowledge. Felix and Gaspard are leading the GLOBCOIN dev section with innovating thinking that later materializes in our platform. Our Reputation lead Jean-Marc Seigneur has published more than 100 scientific papers on computational trust and online reputation management.

6. Currency neutrality
You can use GLOBCOIN as a hedge to an existing portfolio of investments for something “currency neutral”, something global, without having any currency bias. GLOBCOIN enables the investor to transform the currency exposure linked to an investment and give it a neutral stance regarding currencies.

7. Ideal for P2P payments
The currency neutrality is ideal for P2P transfers. GLOBCOIN will be used on a P2P base offering clients a cost-effective, convenient and instant transaction service with total transparency. Companies like Venmo, PayPal and Square Cash allow users to send money from their mobile devices through a linked debit card but using only ONE currency. Enabling P2P payments to be “currency neutral” is a big step forward in this growing industry.

8. Strong partnerships
Our team has extensive connections in the target sector and experience in business, software development, and distribution channels. We already have partnerships with exchanges and trusted banks, and we’re working on new alliances as your read.

9. Flexibility for investors
The GLOBCOIN Platform intends to provide flexibility to investors and to allow them to express a view on a national currency or a group of currencies, or to hedge against the weakening of others. For example, if an investor thinks that the US dollar is going to generally strengthen against a selection of the major world currencies, he will be able to buy a token which tracks the performance of the US dollar against a basket of currencies — that will be our ultimate vision.

Not only provides diversification, the basket is also a safe and cheap way of allocating money to the future multipolar world, because it invests more than 40% into young emerging currencies with high growth potential, truly representing the economy of tomorrow.

10. Pre-Sale Benefits
There is a 70% bonus on token distribution during the pre-sale period only. Instead of receiving 10,000 GCP per 1 ETH, you will receive 17,0000 GCP per 1 ETH during the presale period February 12 — March 4.
