Renq Finance Is Holding Its First Stage Of Token Presale

13 Feb 2023

Bakkt Holdings Inc. announced Monday that it will solely focus on business-to-business technology solutions and discontinue its consumer application. The company stated that the app will officially be discontinued on March 16, 2023, and app users will continue to have access to all of their assets.

Following Bakkt’s pending acquisition of Apex Crypto from Apex Fintech Solutions, the company has announced it is discontinuing its consumer business venture. Bakkt’s consumer platform will shift its focus to provide businesses with crypto and loyalty experiences for their customers through software-as-a-service and application programming interface solutions on a secure and compliant platform. The crypto company refers to this focus as its “business-to-business-to-consumer” strategy.

“As we continue to gain traction with our B2B2C strategy, we are laser-focused on providing our partners and clients with seamless solutions that best serve their needs,” Gavin Michael, president and CEO of Bakkt said in a statement. “The discontinuation of the app ensures we are supporting the relationship our partners and clients have with their customers. With this move, we are focusing our investment on our core solutions that have product-market fit and are positioned to scale quickly.”

Bakkt stated Monday that the pending Apex Crypto acquisition aligns with its business-to-business-to-consumer focus. The company emphasized its commitment to “providing crypto products to a wide range of client industries.” It added that customers using the consumer app “will soon be able to access their cash and crypto from any device, both at home and on the go.” Bakkt’s Visa-branded debit cards will also be deactivated on March 16, 2023.

Bakkt’s app documentation explains that the new web experience will have several differences from the consumer application. Loyalty points will no longer be visible, but they are not lost as Bakkt assures that loyalty point rewards can “still be obtained by visiting the specific loyalty program’s app or website.” Bakkt also noted that there will be additional updates in the future for current consumer app users.

What do you think of Bakkt’s shift towards a business-to-business-to-consumer focus and the discontinuation of its consumer app? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Polygon fell by over 10% on Feb. 13, as a red wave swept through cryptocurrency markets during Monday’s session. Volatility was high ahead of Tuesday’s U.S. consumer price index release, and with the depegging of BUSD. Cosmos also traded lower to start the week, hitting a 14-day low.

Polygon (MATIC) dropped by as much as 10% to start the week, as the global cryptocurrency market cap plunged on Monday.

Following a high of $1.29 on Sunday, MATIC/USD slipped to an intraday low of $1.16 earlier today.

Today’s move saw the token fall to its lowest level since February 1, when MATIC was trading at a bottom of $1.06 .

As can be seen from the chart, Monday’s sell-off occurred as the 14-day relative strength index (RSI) fell below support at 55.00

Currently, the index is tracking at 53.53, which is its weakest reading since January 8, when polygon was valued at $0.79.

Should momentum continue to decline, a floor at 50.00 could be where MATIC bulls find stability, as they begin to prepare for future rallies.

Cosmos (ATOM) was another notable mover on Monday, as it also dropped to a multi-week low.

ATOM/USD fell to a floor of $12.85 earlier in the day, which comes less than 24 hours after trading at $13.94.

Monday’s drop in price sees ATOM trade at its weakest point since January 30, when the token bottomed out at $12.78.

Looking at the chart, today’s move comes following two breakouts, first the $13.00 mark, then a move below a long-term floor on the RSI.

This aforementioned point of support has been the 49.00 zone, which was broken earlier today, with the index now tracking at 46.32.

If momentum continues to move downward over the next few days, there is a strong likelihood that ATOM could be heading to a lower support at $12.50.

PRESS RELEASE. Renq Finance, an innovative multi-chain non-custodial DEx, is now holding its first token presale on its official website. Currently in the first stage of the presale process, Renq Finance aims to conduct 8 presale stages in order to raise almost $20 million.

An 8-Stage Token Presale

Renq Finance is now raising funds for the project through its first token presale. The whole process is divided into 8 stages, and Renq is currently organizing the first stage of the presale. During the first phase, the price of RENQ tokens is $0.02, which will increase after each stage’s hard cap has been reached. Thus, the token price will gradually increase, going from $0.02 to $0.055 in stage 8 of the presale.

With a total supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, RENQ is an ERC-20 token that will act as the governance token of Renq Finance. During the presale, Renq aims to offer half of the total supply to early investors in order to raise $19.27 million. Those holding RENQ tokens will be able to access all future activities in the Renq ecosystem.

The other 500,000,000 tokens will be divided into 6 categories: RENQ Pool (10%), RENQ Vault (10%), RENQ Farms (10%), Exchange Listings (10%), Liquidity (5%), and Team (5%).

How to Buy RENQ?

If anyone wants to join the Renq presale, they should connect their Metamask or Trust Wallet on Renq Finance’s official website and buy the amount of RENQ desired. Once the presale is finalized, the user will be able to claim their RENQ tokens. The RENQ tokens sold will be delivered to users’ crypto wallets.

It is important to note that there will not be a vesting period; thus, users will get their tokens once the presale ends.

Meet Renq Finance

Renq Finance is an all-in-one solution for worldwide crypto investors. The main goal of Renq is to provide a completely decentralized solution for traders looking for a DeFi platform to help them with everyday crypto activities. Through its wallet app, Renq Finance aims to offer users a direct trading option while having the main goal of elevating decentralized trading.

Besides, Renq Finance is constantly working to develop various tools for crypto traders, such as a cryptocurrency data aggregator, perpetual futures, a vault, a lending protocol, a DeFi and NFT Launchpad, and multiple forums. Through all these projects, Renq Finance wants to build an engaged community that can highly contribute to the evolution of the entire Renq ecosystem.

According to its roadmap, Renq Finance aims to launch its Mainned during Q1 of 2024. By then, the company will launch the DeFi services, including a mobile wallet app and a desktop wallet plugin, both offering multiple valuable features, such as margin loans and ERC-271 positions.
