UTRUST hopes to raise its profile and build momentum leading up

firming up business synergy with relevant partners throughout the
duration of its project.
Users and supporters are welcome to meet and speak to the team
members at any of these events, so if any are attending, do come up
for introductions.
The UTRUST ICO will run for a maximum of seven days or until a
hard cap of $49 million is reached
from the sales of its tokens (priced at a base rate of $0.065 each), or until sold out, whichever occurs
first. No further tokens will ever be issued and any unsold tokens
will be burnt, permanently reducing the total supply, currently at
1 billion.
This ICO represents the final round of fundraising for the
world's first blockchain payments platform with consumer
protections, that is also targeting some 2.5 billion unbanked
worldwide.
About UTRUST
UTRUST has currently raised $3.5
Million through private early investors and the sold-out
pre-ICO, with the public ICO scheduled for November
2nd, 2017.
UTRUST is the world's first cryptocurrency payments
platform to implement consumer protections on a mass scale. The
company is building a global PayPal–like payments platform with
extensive cryptocurrency support.
UTRUST's end goal is to provide all the benefits of fast,
secure, convenient, and inexpensive cryptocurrency transactions, in
tandem with the world's first cryptocurrency payment protections,
which consumers need to fully embrace blockchain technology en
masse.
With 2.5 billion unbanked people in Emerging Markets yet to
benefit from financial inclusion, UTRUST is also planning to build
the bridge to enable the unbanked worldwide to access the
mainstream global financial system.
UTRUST ICO and Tokens
UTRUST's public ICO will be held on
November 2nd. The company will use
the collected funds to establish key industry partnerships and to
develop the world's first PayPal-like cryptocurrency payments
platform. The ERC20 compatible tokens are created over the Ethereum
protocol, and can be used as a means of payment on UTRUST's payment
gateway along with other cryptocurrencies.
UTRUST's token can be used for making zero fee payments to the
thousands of merchants accepting any cryptocurrency via UTRUST, and
be traded against other currencies on supported exchange
platforms.
UTRUST will allocate a certain portion of the revenues to
buyback and destroy the tokens in circulation. Being a deflationary
currency by design, the demand for UTRUST tokens will increase with
time, which combined with buyback should lead to appreciation in
its market value.
