Sofia, Bulgaria, 9th June, 2022, Chainwire — Hybrid Banking/DeFi project ChangeX is proud to announce the onboarding of a new advisory board, with experts of SoftBank, Merrill Lynch, and Citibank fame. The move reflects ChangeX’s efforts to streamline institutional capital acquisition and strategic development, after successfully oversubscribing the ICO for the CHANGE token by 180% on June 1.
ChangeX’s newly formed advisory board sees SoftBank Vision Fund’s Neil Cunha-Gomes, whose crypto investments include Consensys (one of the most reputable brands in the industry, behind flagship projects such as MetaMask) and Elliptic (one of the most trusted crypto compliance solutions providers), working alongside seasoned experts Dimiter Gurdjilov and Stefan Ivanov, who together have 50+ years of experience with finance, investments, and capital management.
“We are extremely excited to have Neil, Dimiter, and Stefan onboard as our advisory team. Together, they represent what ChangeX is about, bringing knowledge of traditional finance, cryptocurrencies, and the DeFi space – the three pillars of our project”, said ChangeX CEO Nikifor Iliev. “Neil’s experience at SoftBank, and Dimiter, who has worked for Merrill Lynch Asset Management, JPMorgan, and George Soros’ Bedminster Capital, will bring invaluable insight to ChangeX”.
The third member of the advisory board is Stefan Ivanov – an alum of Harvard Business School’s Program for Leadership Development and a senior banker with 25+ years of experience at Citibank, Banque Paribas, and Challenger Capital Management, who has also served as the CEO of Citibank in Bulgaria.
“With Stefan, Dimiter, and Neil, we feel pretty confident for the future. The CHANGE token is 180% oversubscribed.”, added Mr. Iliev. “The numbers are remarkable considering market conditions, and paint a long-term profile for investors. This is evident through our self-vesting mechanism, which many of them used to lock their tokens for an average of 11 months. The locked amount turned out so high, that when CHANGE is released on September 30, there will be only 67 million tokens in circulation in the 11 months that follow. Because of CHANGE’s design and utility, and because it is deflationary, we’re expecting a very stable and sustainable aftermarket economy ”, Mr. Iliev concluded.
After the commitment phase, where investors pay the rest of their deposits, is completed in June, CHANGE will make its initial DEX offering (IDO) on the HYDRA DEX in the first week of July. Investors who missed the ICO will be able to buy the token on a first-come, first-served basis.
The ChangeX app and CHANGE staking are set for an official release in July, with the beta version already available on the Google Play Store and App Store.
