Introduction to Globcoin
Globcoin is a Swiss Group that created a multi-currency platform which will allow all of its users to perform instant, secure and cost-effective transactions with digital and fiat currencies.
Globcoin’s clients will be able to create basket currencies conforming to their needs. Currency baskets are a portfolio of selected currencies with different weightings. These baskets have been commonly used to minimise the negative effects of currency volatility.
Globcoin has been marketing these currency baskets since 2012 to family offices and institutional investors and now they are preparing to launch this currency management service to the mainstream public.
The platform makes use of Ethereum’s blockchain technology and the following Group Structure:
- Reserve Currency Solutions (RCS SA) – established since 2012 in Zug, Switzerland, it has the purpose of creating and developing managed currency products such as Global Reserve Currency. Several pieces of IP related to multi-currency index management belong to RCS.
- OptimInvest – a regulated member of the OARG (Organisme d’Autorégulation des Gérants de Patrimoine), this Geneva-based currency manager provides advisory mandates for large clients.
- GLOBCOIN Ltd., created in 2016 ,- this company markets one of the first multi-currency e-wallets linked to a multi-currency Platinum Mastercard that provides its owner an access to interbank foreign exchange rates and free instant peer-to-peer transactions in most of the world’s available currencies. Based in London, its clients are business and individuals, travellers and expatriates out of 32 countries.
By using RCS’s Dual Token solution, Globcoin has come up with two Ether tokens:
- GCP: A Utility Token which was created with the purpose of issuing and accessing different currency baskets on the platform, including but not being limited to the World Reserve of Currency.
- GLX: This token functions as a store of value and a medium of exchange. Its value is linked to 15 of the most important currencies plus 5% gold. It is backed 100% on a 1 to 1 ratio.
