ANKORUS : Trade Securities and Bitcoin Futures with Cryptocurrency

- Desember 27, 2017

Ankorus will enable cryptoholders to buy real world financial assets. In exchange for cryptocurrency,

Ankorus will create and allocate tokens that are exactly value-pegged to their corresponding assets.

The natural result we expect to be a radical disruption to the traditional financial world, which too

often serves too few.

Where some rivals simply expose their customers to assets, Ankorus will actually secure and hold

them for you.

Cryptoholders could truly diversify their portfolios across multiple asset classes. Harnessing innovative technology, Ankorus is initiating a new landscape of frictionless trading, beyond geographical boundaries and prohibitive financial barriers.

Vibrant markets require liquidity, and by our plan to link the crypto world with that of finance, trading volumes will assuredly – and markedly – increase. Ankorus will open multiple new channels for the movement of wealth, and this additional fluidity will also facilitate exits to more stable holdings from volatile markets. Where previously cryptoholders found themselves lost at sea, Ankorus will empower its users to anchor in a safe harbour of their choice.

If [cryptocurrency] is a viable asset class, and the

institutions aren’t there yet … because there’s no bonafide

custodial edifice allowing institutional capital to come in,

then I believe there’s going to be a once in a lifetime move of

some number. But then it’s not going to grow from there.

So you have to be there and then.

Kyle Bass, from an interview with Real Vision.

Ankorus presents the unique ANK token. ANK tokens grant access to bitcoin futures investment with cryptocurrency, plus … All exchange-traded financial assets can be bought and sold on the Ankorus platform, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, FX and commodities. Together, the ANK and Ankorus will establish blockchain-secured wealth creation for all.

MISSION

Ankorus will forge a vital new connection from the crypto sphere to the established world of finance,

enriching both with enhanced levels of opportunity and security.

TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESSES

The Anchor Token system will be an alternative investment ecosystem that tokenises and makes

available any financial instrument, including stocks, bonds, futures, options, gold, silver, commodities, REITs, ETFs and sovereign debt.

When our customers purchase Anchor Tokens, we will immediately purchase the corresponding

asset. Ankorus, as trusted custodian, holds this asset in reserve.

Token holders can exchange their Anchor Tokens on the Ankorus token exchange, AnchorNet, or

redeem their value directly from us.

SECURITY TOKENIZATION

Ankorus will be able to tokenise into an Anchor Token any financial asset that’s currently available.

Ankorus will also take requests for Anchor tokenisation in return for a one-time tokenisation fee.

Ankorus will make available for purchase any financial assets currently traded worldwide, such as

AMZN, FB, SBUX, BIDU, AAPL, US T-Bills and Bonds, USD, CHF, JPY, SPY, GLD, ZKB Gold, Crude Oil.

CREATION OF ANCHOR TOKENS

The customer selects a financial asset to tokenise.
Customer pays Ankorus for their purchase in any one of a number of currencies (this will include BTC, ETH, Ripple's XRP, BCH, Litecoin, Dash, NEO, Tether and ANK).
The Ankorus broker-dealer purchases the underlying securities, as selected by the customer. Orders are filled at the security’s currently traded price.
The equivalent value of Anchor Tokens for that security is then credited to the customer’s account in their smart wallet, minus a small fee and commission. Anchor Tokens will be credited to the customer’s wallet within minutes of receiving the order.
Any earnings derived from underlying securities will be either automatically reinvested back into those securities, giving the customer a larger number of Anchor Tokens, or credited to the customer’s wallet. The customer can choose which of the two options they prefer.

Ankorus is the only entity that can create or destroy Anchor Tokens, thereby maintaining their exact

pegged value in line with the underlying security.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Anchor Token system will provide a low cost, transparent and expedited facility for the management of financial risk in a number of sectors.

Cryptocurrency – The adoption rate for cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin is still slow due principally to high price volatility and debate around how the technologies are to proceed. Anchor Tokens represent an effective solution to such uncertainties. Cryptocurrency holders seeking to lock in their value can exchange them quickly and inexpensively for Anchor Tokens, and then later on simply exchange them back to cryptocurrency again.

Fund managers, pension portfolios, all large holders of securities – As anchors can be swapped easily for other anchors, via a relatively frictionless exchange on AnchorNet, portfolios can be easily rotated.

Nations with highly volatile currency prices – Individuals in nations with volatile currencies will be able to exchange their currencies for the Anchor Tokens of more stable securities to better secure their value.

If Anchor Tokens are lost or stolen, Ankorus will recreate or replace them, a service easily rendered thanks to Ankorus' proprietary technology that allows the quick and effective circumvention of losses.

SMART WALLET

Anchor Token holders will store their tokens in highly secure and reactive Ankorus smart wallets. Ankorus smart wallets will leverage proprietary technology to achieve an unsurpassed level of security within a presently immature and predatory cryptocurrency environment. Vulnerability to hacking is vastly reduced.

Smart wallets will employ Reactive Portfolio Management (RPM), providing a display that enables users to monitor in realtime the current value of their Anchor Tokens, in their chosen base currency, and the value of any held fiat currency. Account statements can also be requested.

In the event of fraudulent transfer, RPM technology will automatically trigger the self-destruct algorithm built within Anchor Tokens. Further, each party will be made whole via the annulling of

invalid transactions and awarding of replacement tokens.

THE ANCHORNET EXCHANGE PLATFORM

AnchorNet will be created in Phase Three (see Roadmap) to create a platform for the creation of a secondary market for all Anchor Tokens.

AnchorNet will be a highly credible asset-backed exchange, with close adherence to the regulatory authorities in the relevant jurisdictions. The platform is intended to create a much needed level

playing field for all investors and to open wealth-creation opportunities to more individuals than ever before.

AnchorNet’s closest rivals, still operating as traditional exchanges, lack the advantages of a tokenised exchange model. However, their success indicates similar, if not greater, success awaiting AnchorNet.

Ankorus is a broker-dealer and AnchorNet is our exchange. Once a viable decentralised exchange exists, AnchorNet will move onto that exchange.

ADVANTAGES OF ANCHORNET :

Other exchanges tend to enforce minimum account sizes for traders, creating prohibitive barriers to entry for small investors.

- AnchorNet will stipulate no minimum account size.

Other exchanges tend to have very high commissions.

- AnchorNet will act as a minimal commission securities broker.

Many exchanges around the world have restrictions barring access to non-nationals and/or excessive capital controls (e.g. The Middle East, Taiwan, South Korea, Philippines, Indonesia …)

- AnchorNet will provide tokenised access to many of these exchanges.
