Bitcoin.com Completes a $33.6M Private Sale for Its New Token VERSE

Bitcoin.com announced today it had completed a private sale of $33,600,000 for the Bitcoin.com VERSE token.

It is with participation from Digital Strategies, KuCoin Ventures, Blockchain.com, ViaBTC Capital, Redwood City Ventures, 4SV, BoostX Ventures, and select individual thought leaders and influencers, including Roger Ver, Jihan Wu, and David Wachsman.

Verse will expand Bitcoin.com’s ecosystem of cryptocurrency products and services, linking the utility and rewards features of the VERSE token to every step in the crypto journey for everyday people.

“Since 2015, Bitcoin.com has been a leader in introducing newcomers to crypto and guiding them along their crypto journey. So far, we’ve built an incredible portfolio of products and services that count more than four million monthly active users and 30 million self-custody wallets created.”

“Today, we’re proud to announce VERSE, a utility, and rewards token for everyone who participates in the ready-built Bitcoin.com Verse ecosystem,” said Dennis Jarvis, Bitcoin.com CEO.

“VERSE is user-centric and adds tremendous value across our range of crypto products and services, including the Bitcoin.com self-custody wallet app, the Bitcoin.com Exchange, the Verse DEX, Bitcoin.com News, and our upcoming crypto-enabled debit card.”

“We’re also extremely excited to announce the Verse public token sale, which is scheduled to begin in June.”

VERSE, which will be minted first this summer as an Ethereum (ERC-20) token, is closely comparable to CRO, BNB, and FTT, the utility and rewards tokens for the Crypto.com, Binance, and FTX offerings, respectively.

Some VERSE features can also be compared to the native tokens of CeFi platforms like Nexo and Celsius, as well as the native tokens of representative decentralized trading protocols such as Uniswap and TraderJoe.

Eric Weiss, Managing Partner, Digital Strategies: “In our view, the utility of the Verse token in conjunction with the Bitcoin.com brand and broad suite of tools will create a powerful moat for its ecosystem. We’re thrilled to be part of this journey with Bitcoin.com and Verse.”

Justin Chou, Chief Investment Officer, KuCoin Ventures: “The next wave of growth in crypto will be led by strong global brands that create real-world products for millions of people. Bitcoin.com will accelerate the development of products and partnerships that expand their reach globally.”

The Verse public token sale is set to begin in June 2022. Six percent of the Verse total supply (12,600,000,000 VERSE) will be sold. The sale will take place as the first token project launch on the new Bitcoin.com Verse Launchpad, which will release simultaneously.
