BTSE is a financial technology company operating multi-currency spot and futures markets
and providing related financial services through its custom-built platform. BTSE is gaining a
lot of traction due to its key technological innovations, such as a multi-currency orderbook that
provides deeper liquidity than individual currency pairs, next-generation matching engine that
enables sub-millisecond transactions and significantly reduces the risk for system overloads,
and horizontal scaling procedures that allow BTSE to upgrade services with near-zero
downtime, which are severe issues currently plaguing the industry.
Current Status
Since going to market in June 2019, through various user acquisition strategies, we have
continuous growth of up to 1000 new registered users per day with 2K regular daily active users
and overall platform trading volume of $70 million USD per day.
The global cryptocurrency futures market trading volume is around $10bn per day, we aim to
take a sizeable chunk of the global volume, factoring in market growth. We are looking to
achieve $400 million daily trading volume within 12 months.
The highly sophisticated and scalable platform that BTSE has developed will allow expansion
into other areas of financial services and partnerships, giving BTSE some unique possibilities
going forward.
The Case
BTSE has a proven platform of revenue, users, technology and traction. Implementing a token
now, will take it to the next level, bringing about user growth, retention and widespread market
adoption. The token serves as a key asset that will help grow the entire BTSE ecosystem and
product offerings. We have taken the successes of existing platform token into consideration
and innovated beyond that.
BTSE will tie four independent revenue streams to the tokenomics which has never been done
before and ties into a buyback scheme where we take 30% of all revenue streams every month
allocated to a liquidity pool that is then used to buy back tokens at market price until the supply
has been halved. This should encourage scarcity as well as a reason to hold the token because
of the myriad of incentives to do so, such as, interest bearing accounts, lower fees, and higher
rebates, increased benefits and as a store of value which can be traded against.
Revenue Streams
Platform Fees: Spot 0.7%, Futures, 0.025%, Token Listing Fees
Lending: 80% LTV, Secured liquidation profit of 5%, 8-12% interest p.a.
The Offer
We are looking to sell 50M tokens at $1 with tiered discounts and vesting depending on the
discount. Funds raised will be allocated toward user acquisition to increase overall platform
revenue, platform development and liquidity, as well as expansion into lending, OTC and mining
markets.

Appendix 2
is derived from:
Trading fees averaging 0.07% on a daily volume of $7m with a projected 40% monthly growth rate in the first six months,
followed by 15% for the next 6 months, then 10% thereafter;
Fee-chargeable withdrawals averaging 0.09% on a daily volume of $100k with a projected monthly growth rate of 20% in the first
year, then 10% thereafter.
is derived from:
Trading fees averaging 0.025% on a daily volume of $25m with a projected 52% monthly growth rate in the first six months,
followed by 18% for the next 6 months, then 8% thereafter;
Liquidation fees of 0.15%, where it is assumed that 1% of all futures trading is from liquidation.
is sourced from a 0.2% commission on $3m daily volume, with a projected monthly growth rate of 35% in the first six
months, followed by 20% for the next six months, then 5% thereafter.
are 0.9% on an estimated monthly spend of $3k per user with 100 users, with a monthly growth rate of
115% in the first three months, followed by 12% for the next six months, then 10% subsequently.
are sourced from a 0.9% monthly interest rate on an estimated $300k in daily month-long loans, projected to grow
monthly at a rate of 25% in the first six months, followed by 18% for the next six months, then 10% thereafter.
is projected to be at a constant rate of 100PH/s; at a difficulty of 14566490120107 with a block reward of 12.5 and a pool
fee of 1%, this works out to 30*24*3600*12.5*(1-0.01) * [1e17 / (14566490120107*2^32)] ~51.27 BTC in the first month.
Monthly, the difficulty is expected to increase by 7%, hence the BTC output is expected to decrease by approximately 7%
In May 2020, the block reward is expected to be halved. Consequently, the BTC output is also expected to be halved, and the
BTC price doubled, at this time.
