Cashaa July 2018 Wrap-Up!Dear Cashaa Family,
Another great month passed with new achievements, our regulator friendly approach is helping CAS token to become a key for regulated banking platform. — let’s get to know Cashaa’s progress over the past weeks!
CAS Token Updates
From June 8 on, we distributed the monthly PoS tokens to the existing CAS holders:
7995 addresses which have a stake of 351,776,879.1 CAS who have been allocated a maximum PoS bonus of 223,059,099 CAS received their monthly installment of 31,863,418.13 CAS. Details can be found HERE.
Crypto Businesses are realising the importance of CAS token, after we gave its detailed utility. This resulted in three ICOs in July who started accepting CAS token in their ICO.
Following the partnership announcement with Times Group-backed discovery app Bubblo on 13 July, 2 more token sales, Stellargold and KitToken announced on 22 July that they’ll be accepting CAS tokens. Soon we can see a plethora of ICOs that will start using the CAS token in their ICO to get access to the banking system through Cashaa. Crypto businesses based in Europe and UK who can satisfy our compliance policies will get a IBAN (international bank account) through Cashaa.
Concerning exchange listings, we had 2 great news this month: On July 2, CAS got listed on CoinExMarket, which is a worldwide cryptocurrency and token trading platform. This allowed traders to exchange CAS against BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, XRP, OMG, TRON, BCH and USDT, adding the greatest variety of pairs so far.
Furthermore, on 30 July, Australian Cryptocurrency Exchange-platform, TopBTC listed CAS for trading against ETH. It offers trading services via API / Web trading platform with zero withdrawal and deposit fees.
Furthermore, on 31 July we had a successful meeting with OEX in our Mumbai office, which agreed to list us in August.
Aside exchanges, CAS tokens on 11 July also got listed on Singapore based e-commerce site, MegaXstore, which has over 200 brands and a wide range of over 20,000 products and over 25,000 customers, and listed CAS tokens as one of the modes of payments, following a voting competition which we won with 80 % thanks to the votes of our community — again, many thanks for that!
Thus, it’s predictable that CAS is going to gain more popularity in near future. So far, it has already made its way to major exchange sites, medical sector, e-commerce sector, food industry and very soon it is expected to make greater impact in some more potential areas.
