Goobit Group AB (publ) announces that the company plans to open the savings platform Futureproof to its first customers in November. The first version has been developed, and more than 750 people have signed up to the waitlist since it opened in September. A launch event will be held at Kungliga tennishallen in Stockholm on 11 November. With Futureproof, the group broadens its offering alongside BTCX.
The first version of Futureproof
The platform is now being tested before the first customers are let in. In the first version, the customer opens an account with BankID, deposits money and chooses how their savings are allocated between bitcoin, gold and kronor, either according to one of three ready-made allocations or their own. The customer approves every order. More features are planned over time.
Bitcoin and kronor are handled by Kvarn Capital Ltd, which is authorised to provide crypto-asset services and payment services under the supervision of the FIN-FSA, and the gold by Kvarn Metals Ltd, which is not under financial supervision. The agreement with Kvarn Capital was announced on 14 September and the agreement with Kvarn Metals on 2 November.
Launch event and Founding Members
On 11 November, Futureproof holds its launch event at Kungliga tennishallen in Stockholm. Those on the waitlist get access to the platform before everyone else and can also apply for one of the places at the event. After the event, more people will be invited in rounds, at a pace that gives every new customer a good start. The waitlist is available at futureproof.money.
The first people to start saving with Futureproof become Founding Members. They receive their own membership number, are the first to see what is being built next and get to share their views.
Comment from Goobit's CEO Gustav Buder
"Futureproof is the next step for Goobit. The platform is now moving from build to reality. More than 750 people have signed up before they have even seen the platform. We see that as a clear sign that many people want to save long term in bitcoin and gold in a simple and transparent way. I look forward to meeting some of them at Kungliga tennishallen on 11 November," says Gustav Buder, CEO of Goobit Group.
Saving in bitcoin and gold involves risk. Crypto-assets are high-risk investments. The value can both rise and fall, and you can lose money you put in. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
