Crypto Assets available in the Wealth App

These crypto assets could be bought or exchanged via the Wealth App:

BTC

Bitcoin is a digital asset used for secure transfers of value anywhere in the world. It is an open network which is managed by its users and not controlled or issued by any bank or government. The value of a bitcoin is not tied to the value of any other currency. Bitcoin is traded for dollars, euros, francs, and other currencies in real time 24/7, therefore, the price can fluctuate depending on the demand for buying or selling bitcoin. 

ETH

Ethereum tokens (ether or ETH) are the digital assets that exist on top of the Ethereum blockchain. It functions like cash but ether is not exactly a digital asset. It should rather be considered as “fuel” (gas) for the applications on the Ethereum network.

CHSB

The CHSB token, the official SwissBorg Token, is a multi-utility token used to participate in the SwissBorg ecosystem. It is the key to the SwissBorg platform.

USDC

USDC is a stablecoin which is pegged to the US dollar. It is managed by Circle and Coinbase. USD coin is backed by fully reserved assets, you can redeem 1 USDC for US$1.00.

PAX Gold

PAX Gold is backed by actual gold vaults in London, which render it redeemable for physical LBMA accredited gold (London Good Delivery gold bar, stored in Brink’s gold vaults).


ENJ

Enjin is building a holistic ecosystem of blockchain products that allow game developers and studios to utilize tokenized digital assets as part of their acquisition, retention, engagement and monetization strategies. Enjin’s ecosystem is fueled by ENJ, a utility token used to directly back the value of Enjin-powered blockchain assets.

BNB

BNB was launched as an ERC20 token through an initial coin offering (ICO) in 2017. In April 2019, the ERC20 tokens were swapped with BEP2 BNB on a 1:1 ratio, and are no longer hosted on Ethereum.

One of BNB’s main utilities is as an exchange token, allowing Binance users to pay fees with as much as a 50% discount on trades.

LEND

Often referred to as ETHLend, the Lend token is the native token of Aave following the winding-up of operations by ETHLend in January this 2020. Although it has kept the name, the new Aave version of Lend is a step up from the previous one.

Briefly, the ERC-20 $LEND tokens are used for fee reductions in addition to providing governing rights at a base-code level for future protocol updates. The tokens are burned from fees accrued form the Aave protocol, suggesting that tokens could be worth more over time. The protocol went live in January 2020, supporting 16 different assets including 5 stablecoins. In June 2020, Aave reported having reached as much as $100 million in market cap.

KNC

The Kyber Network (KNC) is an Ethereum-based decentralised exchange (DEX) protocol that allows the “instant exchange and conversion of digital assets with high liquidity.” The platform is similar to the 0x project, but instead performs all of its transactions on the blockchain.

DAI

Similar to USDC, DAI is a stablecoin that is pegged to the Dollar, with an exchange rate that replicates US Dollar valuations against other fiat currencies. Unlike other stablecoins that are directly backed by USD, DAI is backed by cryptocurrency collaterals that can publicly be seen on the Ethereum blockchain.
