Do you mean that Iconomi will be OFM and an exchange at the same time?
Well, yes... technically; Iconomi.net is already an exchange.. Eros-ETH....and offering a debit card will do the same thing... ETH/ICN/ICNX/ICNP to debit swipe or atm would be an exchange...
The addition of Euro framework would compliment Kraken, while the addition of American framework would strengthen Iconomi.net... or at the very least "partners" of some kind.
and yes the platform is asset management fully exchange-based entry and exit into and out of the managed funds using crypto's, Euros, and hopefully USD in the near future besides just within Kraken.
It wouldn't be a "management platform" if you couldn't "Manage" the assets, right? hehe
and nobody else will be listing the ICNX or ICNP... that will be exclusive to the platform.
It would be all fairly standard to add other trading pairs like ETH-ICN, BTC-ICN, BTC-ETH and other pairs; all of which will help drive the ICN token value up from much of the fees being distributed in dividends.
This is what makes the gathering of ICN tokens a must for me. I love the thought of owning a portion of an asset management platform! Success means a LIFETIME of Dividends.
Also, most people don't realize what happens when you compound your APR and total dividends on a weekly basis, which is what my plans are ofc.
The way I understand it is that Iconomi, as a platform, has to be able to execute exchange orders - but it is done in the backend, and not provided as a service.
Buying or trading btc or any other cryptos is not the core business of Iconomi.
That is exactly what the core of Iconomi is!
...and Iconomi.net is already "an exchange." Fiat to ETH ...CASHILA
What makes this even more interesting is that inside my Mist wallet, I can purchase ETH through Coinbase at the clik of a button... What you wanna bet they add ICN to that within the next 6 months?
This is the opensource age of co-opetition hehe...
Exchanges love to collect dem fees, and if they can hold some tokens for weekly dividends, well... hmmm
