Earlier this week, Bittrex International conducted the initial stock exchange placement (IEO) VeriBlock. The campaign took only 10 seconds, during which all project tokens were purchased at a price of 0.0002450 BTC.

Note that at the very start of trading, the VBK token rose to 0.00006999 BTC ($ 0.35), but then dropped sharply to a level just above the IEO price. At the time of publication, VBK was trading at 0.0002600 BTC ($ 0.13).

The absence of any preliminary reports about the start of trading in a new asset has been sharply criticized by users.

Fuckig IDIOTS !!! The start of trading. Good buy @BittrexIntl ?

VeriBlock, whose main network was launched on March 25 , allows networks of other cryptocurrencies to use the Bitcoin blockchain to counter the “51% attacks”. VeriBlock is built on the Proof-Of-Proof consensus algorithm: users can upload snapshots of other blockchains to Bitcoin via the OP_RETURN function.

Among the strategic investors and partners of the Bittrex CEO project is Bill Shihara and the founder of Bloq, Jeff Garzik, as well as the general partner of Fenbushi Capital Bo Shen.

Earlier, Bittrex canceled RAID tokensail . The official reason was the break in the strategic partnership between the project and OP.GG. But then new facts surfaced that put the reputation of the RAID in doubt.
