ICO / Due Diligence
Facts:
Bank X LTD is the banking partner in an upcoming ICO and will collect the initial investments.
Issue:
Top management is afraid that the ICO is a scam and that the bank will face reputational and legal issues.
Solution:
Heptagone provides custom independent due diligence on the ICO which will confirm, or not, the credibility of the project and his supporters.
Investors / Coins – Tokens ratings
Facts:
Geneva based hedge fund believes in the blockchain based technology promoted by Y LTD. Based on the company’s documents, the technology could be launched in the next 2 years. The fund is willing to buy CHF 2mio in Y LTD tokens.
Issue:
Should the technology be really available to the public in two years, such investment would be reasonable. If the project does not take into account the resistance of the current actors (i.e: attorneys or notaries) and the need for prior legal changes, the timeframe could be totally unrealistic.
Solution:
Heptagone provides custom independent analysis on the adoption rate, implementation timeframe, short/long term credibility, major deterrents and more.
Banks and wealth managers / KYC – Blockchain Forensic
Facts:
John Doe wants to deposit 30 BTC as collateral for a loan from bank Z. During the KYC process, John explains that he bought 30 BTC five years ago and that he kept them until now.
Issue:
John’s banker is not very comfortable with this story and the internal KYC results raise some questions.
Solution:
Heptagone compares John’s story with the information contained in the blockchain and identifies potential red flags in the clients’ crypto-currencies operations history.
