How do we enable our LCX ecosystem and the LCX Token to prosper and grow?
Key reasons to our token economics update:
- Global Growth and Market Expansion in the North American and Asian Markets: As we enter new markets, register for additional licenses, list on other compliant exchanges and partner with other regulated platforms, we want to ensure that our token economics are supporting this growth.
- Usage of LCX Token: We are expanding the utility and use cases of LCX Token as we roll-out a variety of new functionalities, products and services. Increasing consumption and usage.
- Token Economics: We want a healthy and thriving ecosystem for our LCX community and our utility token. Reducing the supply of shares or tokens over time can discourage capitalization just like deflationary currencies discourage consumption. Also burning of tokens limits the ability to reinvest in itself. Placeholder.vc published an article showcasing the downside of token burns.
- Regulatory Reasons: Endless opportunities ahead and we don’t want to limit our growth. LCX Tokens are classified as utility token under US, European, Singapore and Liechtenstein laws. Several legal assessments performed by qualified legal firms in different jurisdiction have confirmed this classification. For LCX’s future growth we want to ensure that the classification will not be questioned in any way. A good reference guide is the Crypto Rating Council, introduced by Coinbase, with a classification and rating of digital assets wether they classify as digital securities or not.
The LCX Token is your chance to be part of LCX’s vision to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the new monetary world powered by blockchain and cryptocurrencies.
