About us

The ioNectar platform combines creative powers from various fields, which has resulted in a unique financial tool. Expertise in IT, computer programming and financial markets meet in the ioNectar risk managing operations. The know-how contained in the ioNectar was later complemented with digital currency functionality and features that enable operations with tokenized assets like X8Currency and other products.

X8Currency is a unique value preservation token. Unlike most stable coins it is not pegged to an asset but fights inflation by continuously shifting holdings between 8 major currencies. This process is operated by AI and requires no human intervention at any point. X8Currency is 100% asset-backed and less volatile than a single currency in the long term. The AI behind the token has been tested in live trading over the course of several years.

The project has begun the process of the submissions to Swiss regulator FINMA in order to request this official authority for the Regulatory  Sandbox approval for the X8Currency stable coin product.
