BnkToTheFuture provides this gap in service, and I’m excited to see this project grow through its next phase, says Vinny Lingham

“Investors in today’s burgeoning ICO landscape are seeking more professionalism, accountability, and compliance, while equity investors are seeking greater liquidity and trading,” said Lingham, in the press release.
