TerraStream TGE Update

With Gibraltar’s DLT Regulatory framework successfully launched as of 1 January 2018 the Company now awaits the publication of a more specific set of regulations relating to Token Generating Events (‘TGE’s) which is expected to be published by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission (‘GFSC’) during Q2, 2018.

Based on its discussions with Coinsilium’s legal advisors, ISOLAS, in Gibraltar and the public announcements from the GFSC, the Company’s priority is to ensure that the TerraStream TGE will be fully compliant with Gibraltar’s forthcoming TGE regulations and aims to be in a position to commission the development and build of its Minimum Viable Product (MVP) once the TGE regulations are published.

Coinsilium’s Chairman Malcolm Palle commented “We are delighted to welcome Richard as an advisor to TerraStream and it is most pleasing that, as an industry sector veteran, he shares Coinsilium’s vision and enthusiasm for the opportunities that blockchain technology has to offer within the Mining and Exploration sector.

“Richard is now working with us on developing the TerraStream model and we are confident that his industry knowledge and experience will be of great benefit as we progress discussions with potential industry partners and look to position TerraStream for its Mining sector launch”.
