Coinbase Launches a ‘Wallet as a Service’ Business

Coinbase, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the US, is launching a “wallet as a service” business that would allow companies to personalize blockchain wallets for their own consumers. The service might be used by gaming apps that include tokens or non-fungible tokens (NFT), or by organizations who wish to embed a wallet within an app and make it “virtually undetectable to the end user,” according to Patrick McGregor, Coinbase’s head of product for Web3 developer platforms. In addition to individuals who use the exchange, Coinbase Wallet, and institutional investors who utilize its trading and custody solutions, Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) is working to broaden its capabilities to blockchain developers. Meanwhile, The INX Digital Company, Inc. (NEO:INXD) (OTCQB:INXDF) has launched INX.One, the world’s first fully regulated platform, bringing together investment and trading in security tokens, cryptocurrencies, and capital raising offerings in one location. CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), Block Inc (NYSE:SQ), and PayPal Holdings, Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) are other companies innovating in the crypto space.

The INX Digital Company, Inc. (NEO:INXD) (OTCQB:INXDF) is the first digital asset trading platform for both cryptocurrencies and security tokens that is regulated by the SEC. On March 23, the company announced that it will be facilitating the first-ever security token dividend distribution using blockchain technology on its platform.

Trucpal Token issuer HGC Info Tech will be leveraging INX’s SEC-registered Transfer Agent solution to distribute dividends in the form of USDC stablecoins. This dividend payment represents the next evolution of digital asset investing and is the first of its kind globally. HGC’s dividend payout with INX provides issuers with enhanced possibilities for reducing operational costs, deepening engagement with investors, and raising capital. For investors, it offers liquidity and an opportunity for more wealth creation that wasn’t previously available.

“Trucpal’s first dividend distribution to its investors is a full circle moment for the INX team, and implementation of the company’s vision to allow true democratization of finance,” said INX Digital’s deputy CEO and COO Itai Avneri. “We have supported HGC through its entire journey, starting with its first capital raise for the Trucpal Token, the first security token offering on INX.One, and now the next evolution of the token’s life cycle in the form of a dividend.”

“With the support of INX and Magic Circle, we are proud to issue the first dividend to Trucpal investors – more than 6 months ahead of schedule,” said HGC Founder Wendong Zhang. “Even more significant will be the launch of the Trucpal Token, exclusively on INX.One, which allows HGC to share the long-term benefits of the SaaS ecosystem with investors, shareholders, management team and users, rapidly scaling Trucpal’s business in a quantifiable flywheel effect.”

In December, INX Digital announced a strategic partnership with SICPA, a global leader in authentication, revenue realization, and secure traceability solutions, to help governments create digital assets that are both innovative and sovereign.

The Swiss-based joint venture integrates blockchain infrastructure and digital cash technologies to meet the core needs for Central Bank Digital Currencies, which include privacy, security, financial inclusion, resilience, and other factors. This paves the way for the development and deployment of a secure and scalable environment in which all central banks can use digital currencies.

INX‘s CBDC and blockchain experience will be combined with that of SICPA’s digital team to create CBDC solutions and the ecosystems that support them. These solutions will assist clients in strengthening monetary sovereignty and efficiently growing the country’s GDP. The merged team will set the bar for developing innovative approaches to meeting critical needs from central banks and their ecosystems, including compliance, scalability, cross-border transactions, and programmability. The CBDC ecosystem will make extensive use of SICPA’s complex and advanced security features.

In the third quarter of 2022, INX Digital had $25.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and $8.7 million in short-term and long-term assets. The vast majority of short- and long-term investments are in investment-grade corporate bonds and Treasury securities issued by the US government.

Throughout the quarter, INX took significant steps to establish cutting-edge technology that would aid in the creation of a new and responsible digital economy. It also formed new, strategic international relationships and launched a slew of new projects to broaden the Company’s services and reach, promote brand recognition, and increase sales in the future.
