Our Coin Offering Program provides end-to-end support for digital asset founders looking to floating tokens on the secondary markets. Our token sale experience dates back to 2017, and we have more than 5 ICOs under our belt. We offer a comprehensive suite of solutions through the help of our partners, including strategy development, whitepaper creation, technology assessment, marketing, compliance, and investor relations.

Problem:

Launching a successful token can be a complex and challenging process, requiring deep expertise in multiple fields like technology, financial markets, and regulatory compliance. Founders often don’t have the initial necessary resources or expertise to manage this process on their own. 

According to data from Chainbroker.io, as of March 2023, more than 70% of ICO projects launched between 2021 and 2022 are now trading below their ICO price. The median return on investment on 750 coin offerings analyzed is -60%. This means that many investors who bought tokens during those coin offerings have lost a lot of money, and the projects themselves may have failed to deliver on their promises.

Value Proposition: 

For digital asset founders who are dissatisfied with the complexity and risks of launching an token on their own, our Coin Offering advisory service provides comprehensive support and guidance throughout the entire token sale process. Our service solves key problems such as regulatory compliance, token economics, and investor origination, while maximizing the chances of a successful coin offering. Unlike other advisory services that only provide technology and marketing support, our service offers customized capital market solutions tailored to the unique needs of each project, as well as access to a network of top-tier partners and investors.

Type of Offerings:

1. Initial Coin Offering (ICO) is a fundraising mechanism where a company or project issues its own cryptocurrency tokens in exchange for other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. ICOs can be used to raise funds for various purposes, such as developing new products or services or building new infrastructure.
2. Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) is a fundraising mechanism that is conducted on a cryptocurrency exchange platform. In an IEO, the exchange acts as an intermediary between the project team and the investors, and the tokens are sold directly to the investors through the exchange. The exchange typically charges a fee for hosting the IEO, and it also performs due diligence on the project before listing the token for sale.
3. Initial Dex Offering (IDO) is a fundraising mechanism that is conducted on a decentralized exchange (DEX) platform. In an IDO, the project team can list their tokens directly on the DEX platform and sell them to investors without the need for an intermediary. This eliminates the need for an intermediary, reduces costs, and increases transparency and security.

The key differences between these mechanisms are the platform on which they are conducted and the level of intermediary involvement. ICOs are conducted independently, IEOs are conducted through an exchange platform, and IDOs are conducted through a decentralized exchange platform.

Our hedging program is designed to address two of the major risks in the market, Price Volatility.

Price risk

Digital asset companies often raise a significant amount of capital through Ethereum, Bitcoin, or other cryptocurrencies. The problem is that these firms sometimes need to meet the expenses of their projects by paying in fiat, like USD or EUR. This exposes that to high and unwanted cryptocurrency price risk.

Similarly, many crypto miners get most of their revenues by mining and potentially selling cryptocurrencies, but have to meet their electricity costs and operating expenses in fiat. These large crypto holdings expose them to significant crypto price risk and potential inability to meet their fixed and recurring expenses.

Also, digital asset investors hold a portfolio of different assets with different volatility profiles, and they also have to meet some expenses in FIAT. This strategy makes them also vulnerable to price spikes.

Volatility

Digital Assets exhibit extremely high levels of volatility when compared to traditional asset classes such as equities and fixed income. Bitcoin, for instance, has an average annualized volatility of roughly 80%, while Ethereum has an average annualized volatility of around 115%. By contrast, equity markets exhibit an average annualized volatility of roughly 15%.

These high levels of volatility are reflected in significant drawdowns in digital assets prices. For instance, a company that raised funds for their project through an ICO in January 2021 using Ethereum would have experienced losses of approximately 90% of the amount raised in digital assets. This highlights the critical need for such companies to implement even a basic hedging program to manage price risk or generate uncorrelated positive returns on their assets.

A customized hedging program allows digital asset holders to hedge their exposure to price risk, significantly reducing volatility and locking in a fixed fiat amount. 

With our hedging program, your survival chances are 10x what they were before.

The implementation of the hedging program is quite simple and consists in the following steps:

1. Choice hedging program: we have an initial conversation with you to define the hedging program (passive, active, systematic, etc.), the hedging instruments, and the crypto exchange platform to use in the program.

2. Definition client mandate: we define with you the mandate parameters, including the fiat notional or crypto amount to hedge, initial margin deposit, and price levels and parameters for the active hedging program.

3. Review the legal documents: you review and sign the legal documentation regarding the program.

4. Ongoing monitoring: we constantly monitor your account and suggest actions when needed to achieve the objective in the client mandate.

Algo Capital neither possesses nor exercises control over the accounts of its clients; it solely furnishes the blueprint and procedures for executing the hedging approach, and assists the client in overseeing their position. 

With our skilled research team, you can determine the fair value of your tokens or equity using our on-chain valuation methodology or traditional approaches. Our analysts are veterans of primary investment shops in various asset classes since 2009 and analyze over 300 tokens annually. Thanks to this vast experience, we have developed reliable valuation frameworks that we're confident to share with our clients.

Problem
Managing a digital asset company requires a sound grasp of valuation principles. Without this understanding, making key decisions such as fundraising or selling assets can be challenging. Moreover, inaccurate valuations can be costly and impact a company's long-term success. It's crucial for digital asset companies to have a firm handle on the fair value of their tokens or equity.

The data presented by Chainbroker.io shows that over 70% of ICO projects launched between 2021 and 2022 are currently trading below their launch price, as of March 2023. This is a reminder to both founders and investors of the importance of understanding their token's intrinsic value range. Founders need to be aware of their token's value and how it compares to its current market price. In times of market turbulence, they should seize the opportunity to create value, rather than allowing it to result in losses for stakeholders.

Value Proposition:

For founders of digital asset companies who are dissatisfied with their ability to estimate a fair price for their token or equity, our service offers a comprehensive valuation solution. Unlike other competing products, our valuation framework utilizes both on-chain valuation frameworks and traditional valuation approaches. Moreover, our experienced research team employs the latest data analysis and market research techniques to provide accurate and reliable valuations.
