Ubank launches a Token Sale for Ubcoin Market, a peer-to-peer ecosystem that would allow its users to become crypto investors simply by selling real goods and receiving cryptocurrency in exchange.

The team behind the mobile payments app Ubank expands its business and launches a blockchain ecosystem called Ubcoin Market. Its participants would be able to easily sell and buy real goods in exchange for cryptocurrency. The Token Sale is listed and favorably reviewed on foundico.com, icobazaar.com, and other rating platforms.

Ubcoin Market bridges the gap between crypto and real worlds. On one hand, those who are not well-versed in blockchain will be able to become crypto investors in an easy and safe manner, and, on the other hand, experienced members of the decentralized universe will be empowered to spend their crypto wealth without converting it to fiat currencies.

Ubcoin Market offers a solution for two clear-cut and objective opportunities. The first opportunity stems from almost 2 billion digital citizens, many of whom are keenly interested in cryptocurrency but have their path to crypto investment hindered by technological and legal barriers: mining is expensive and changing fiat money to cryptocurrencies is a cumbersome process. The second issue is the one faced by more than 23 million cryptocurrency owners who are not able to easily spend their crypto investments due to restrictions imposed by governmental and financial organizations.

“If people want to sell their goods, they know where to go — eBay, Taobao, Etsy (60% of all internet users sell and buy goods on similar peer-to-peer platforms, according to Internet Retailer 2017). We do not compete with those platforms for users who want to receive fiat money. Our goal is to give consumers an easy way to become investors in crypto coins by using a peer-to-peer mechanism that is very familiar to them, — says Felix Khachatryan, Ubank’s CEO. “You put up your goods — a laptop, a car, an item of clothing, whatever — for sale, sell it, receive tokens, and then hold them as investment or means of payment or change it to any major cryptocurrency like Bitcoin or Ethereum. And that’s it, now you are a crypto investor. Same way, you can buy anything you see on Ubcoin Market using the crypto wealth you’ve accumulated without exchanging it to ‘real’ money.”

The Ethereum-powered platform will promote peer-to-peer interaction by cutting out the middleman; provide a completely legal marketplace by developing an AI technology for pre-screening seller postings for potential infringements of reason, morality, safety, and due care; and cultivate an open community by making the API available for adapting the platform for local needs and by engaging third-party providers as well.

Ubcoin Market will be integrated into Ubank — the leading mobile payments app in the Eastern Europe that has been pre-installed by Samsung and Fly on their smartphones.

Ubank was launched in 2013. It received an $8 million investment from Runa Capital fund. As of today, the app has 2.5 million monthly active users, has been downloaded by more than 16 million users around the world and it processes 20+ million transactions a year.
