VELIC is a security-focused comprehensive financial service platform that delivers wide a range of advanced crypto-financial products and services and plans to provide a multitude of services are not just in commercial banking, but also investment banking service in the digital currency industry including asset management, custody, and loan to VELIC’s users on a single platform.

VELIC believes that there’s a need for a comprehensive service platform for digital assets

The cryptocurrency market has gone through various stages of evolution, and at this point, many investors would agree that it had matured. Still, there is a long walk until reaching the same adoption as the traditional financial markets, such as the foreign exchange or the stock market. One of the greatest challenges of today’s crypto community is fragmentation. Starting in 2017, we have noticed a sudden boost in the volume of trading, which led to the development of hundreds of crypto exchange platforms, digital wallets, custody services, and other crypto-related applications. The problem is that institutional and retail investors are often confused about the high number of operators. The latter ones are most often incompatible with each other, as there is no single unified network and no infrastructure for the integration of multiple services.

On the VELIC platform, users can seamlessly use products and services with the same account, greatly improving the utility and user experience of financial digital asset management

VELIC aims to address the current fragmentation in the crypto space by offering a blockchain-oriented ecosystem that would enable users to get access to the top digital assets and integrate any blockchain network. The unified platform provided by VELIC revolves around a crypto exchange, asset management, vault, and loan services. Both institutional and retail investors will be able to use it and access all the services from a single user account.

The diverse background of the VELIC team

In April 2018, VELIC formed its own specialized organization comprised of financial experts, established a subsidiary in Singapore. The core team consists of experienced quantitative, financial consulting, derivatives, and trading system development engineers and professionals. VELIC needed a team with such diverse professional backgrounds to ensure that they can implement the entire suite of financial services which we envision.
