Investment portfolio

  • Amon

    Participated · Equity · Dec 2020

    Amon develops the Amon Wallet, which integrates EUR/GBP fiat wallets, multiple crypto wallets, one-click exchange functionality and other products to support user spending and investing. The company offers Amon Earn, an investment product in partnership with Celsius.Network that advertises 3%–12% annual passive interest paid weekly without a locking period on assets including BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, BCH, DAI and USDCCD. Upcoming product launches include an Amon Debit Card (approved for release) that will work in 31 EEA countries and be accepted anywhere UnionPay is accepted, plus an Investment Assistant to help users with portfolio risk scoring and an Ethical Token/Utility to support charities. Amon says the Wallet–Card integration will allow users to earn passive interest and spend it within the same Wallet. The company has been fundraising on the investment platform BnkToTheFuture and has so far raised over $470,000 in equity funding. Since its inception in April 2018, Amon has onboarded institutional backers including MKB Bank and Digital Magics.
