Hi there!
It may seem from the outside that this week hasn't been very eventful, but that's totally not the case. We at Crypterium have been working hard in silence to let our further success be the noise. Here're some small hints on huge surprises we're preparing for you.
1.) Epic App Update Coming
Big releases take time, and we're very close to our new killer-app feature. The one we can't wait to introduce you to. The one that will help us bridge the gap between the world of crypto and traditional finance. The one that will allow you to... Sorry, got carried away, can't tell you more at this point. Let it be a surprise, okay?
2.) Demoing at Finovate
What we can tell you is that this new feature will be first presented at Finovate, one of the most influential fintech events in the world. We got this opportunity to present our products in front of hundreds of C-level execs, top blockchain experts and journalists. We're not going to give away spoilers, but this demo will be legendary. While you're waiting for it, you can as well listen to Marc O'Brien's interview on the most popular fintech podcast in the world - Breaking Banks (starts at 45th min).
Break the banks!
3.)New exchanges
The upcoming agenda already looks exciting, doesnt it? And there is more to come! We are getting listed on one of the top exchanges by the end of the month. Again, we cant tell you its name yet, but there is no doubt that youve heard of it many times!
4.) New Look
Last but not least, we are redesigning our website, and we love how the new one will looks like. It will now have new sections dedicated to each of our products, interactive Roadmap, improved navigation and other useful features. We are planning on featuring some of your reviews on the front page. So feel free to give us feedback, share your thoughts and opinions, on any of the following products:
5.) Cards (both virtual and physical cards)
Bank Transfers (IBAN, BPay, etc)
Wallet (crypto transfers, holding, import/export of private keys, etc.)
Crypto Purchases (vouchers, top-ups, etc.)
Loans
Investing tools (Portfolio, following strategies of traders, etc.)
Follow us on social media to stay in touch and be the first to receive all the breaking news from the industry.
As always, feel free to join the discussion in our Telegram channel.
Best wishes,
Crypterium Team

What makes it LIES? They haven't lied about anything lol.
1.) The app has been substantially updated & upgraded since it's initial release and has had a multitude of updates quite frequently.
2.) They were present at Finovate.
3.) They have listed on several exchanges since launch. Are you mad that the team didn't pay $2+ million to be listed on Binance during a bear market? They're supposed to adhere to a top ten exchange listing in their roadmap regardless if those exchanges decide they want seven figures or more in listing fee's? And with the BitWise report exposing how many of the 'top' exchanges have fake and spoofed volume, I'm glad they didn't put a ton of money out for one of those exchanges at this time lol. You know the team is actively working for two big exchange listings right? But those exchanges have been trying to force newcomers to their new DEX platforms instead of regular listings, for months now.
4.) The website has been redesigned, several times since launch.
5.) You fail to acknowledge that these features are NOT UP TO CRYPTERIUM to implement at free will! They can't just decide to 'deliver' on features that require financial network support and approval. They can't just pull a card out of thin air to deliver it on time when the card & bank to bank needs a processing network and legal framework. There's immense governance and regulatory barriers to all of these features, and phone manufacturer support for NFC functionality - especially if intending to utilize Apple/Google pay API's. Why do you think most of these cards on the market have country restrictions? Why do you think it took Coinbase and other card vendors 2-4 YEARS to finally deliver their cards? Crypterium is finally about to deliver a GLOBAL card and it will have taken them less than a year and a half.
It's ridiculous, you act like "well they said it, so they have to do it when they said!" when nearly every key feature is dependent upon third party approval and governance to make happen.
Look at Bakkt! Bakkt is owned by one of the LARGEST FINANCIAL POWERHOUSES IN THE WORLD. The fucking company that literally OWNS the New York Stock Exchange, owns Bakkt - and it's been delayed more than EIGHT MONTHS now. They have tens of billions of dollars and the most powerful connections in the world legally and financially - even THEY are EIGHT MONTHS BEHIND. But you want to crucify a new project, launched by ICO, for being late? Lol.
