So they wont have a variable value? just 1$ and you can one day maybe swap them for 1$ ?
They say the token will have a blockchain, it will start at $1 value, and they will let people trade it (possibly apart from US customers). That suggests it will be like a normal coin with a wallet. If Bitfinex lets people withdraw the tokens then other exchanges will probably start trading it.
where do they say this token will have a blockchain?
In this comment, they say it will be a token on a blockchain so I assume that means it will have its own blockchain unless its like a counterparty asset.
https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/4wng7l/site_relaunch_bitfinex_blog/d68xbcmI assume that means it will be a coin premined with the number of tokens they have issued. I don't know if it will be POW, POS, or mineable. All they say is it will have a blockchain, and I can't think of any point of one unless it allows customers to withdraw their tokens to their own wallet.
