SA’s Vinny Lingham joins investment platform’s token sale advisory board

South African entrepreneur and Civic founder Vinny Lingham will join investment platform BnkToTheFuture‘s  token sale advisory board.

In a press release yesterday, BnkToTheFuture said executives from Civic, Smith + Crown, Abra, BitAngels, and more signing on to help the platform to launch a tokenised secondary market and due diligence platform for equity tokens.

BnkToTheFuture’s online investment platform already brings vetted deals to qualifying investors. The platform will now issue its own token, BFT, to support deal flow analysis, due diligence and investor relations on the platform. BFT will be available in a public token sale in February 2018.

BnkToTheFuture provides this gap in service, and I’m excited to see this project grow through its next phase, says Vinny Lingham

“Investors in today’s burgeoning ICO landscape are seeking more professionalism, accountability, and compliance, while equity investors are seeking greater liquidity and trading,” said Lingham, in the press release.

“BnkToTheFuture provides this gap in service, and I’m excited to see this project grow through its next phase.”

The platform has 45 000 qualifying investors and has helped invest over $200-million in rounds listed on its platform including companies like Kraken, BitFinex, BitStamp, ShapeShift and others.
