BnkToTheFuture Invests in Blockchain Consultancy Firm, Diacle
Eyeing Security Tokens
BnkToTheFuture have eyed up security tokens, and they like what they see. It was just announced that the popular investment platform has dove head first into the sector with an investment in blockchain consultants firm, Diacle.
This isn’t the first time that these two companies have been affiliated with one another. The two worked together on the launch, and release, of BnkToTheFuture’s very own token – BFT.
This new investment will see the pair place an increased focus towards, both, the United Kingdom and European markets.
Past Licensing
It was only a matter of time before developments of this nature took place. Months ago, BnkToTheFuture gave us a look into their own future intent and ambitions. This was done through an under-the-radar licensing of software, which will be used to help the company develop their own security token exchange.

Commentary
Simon Dixon, CEO of BnkToTheFuture, stated,
“In 2010 we started our mission to allow investors to buy equity in companies building the future of finance. We provided an opportunity for our community to invest online in a handful of unicorns and cryptocurrency exchanges. We see a similar trend with security tokens and together with Diacle we have built the infrastructure to allow for compliant security token offerings. Our investment in Diacle was designed to align our interests so we can drive the sector forward faster with two proven teams that have track records of bringing crypto-based security offerings to market.”
