• Vaultoro rebuilds exchange from the ground up on a frameless modular C++ machine that clocks up to 1.2 million trades per second
• VGold, a lightning network-based bullion token, is almost ready for release
• New cryptos and metals will be available, including the market's first Dash/gold pair
• An equity fundraising campaign has started on BnkToTheFuture.com

Frankfurt/London/Berlin, October 01, 2019 - Vaultoro, a portfolio company of FinLab AG (ISIN: DE0001218063; Ticker: A7A.GR) the market's first gold crypto-hedging solution since 2015, releases today a revamped version of its commodities exchange based on a new C++ modular engine optimized for high-frequency trading, clocking up to 1.2 million trades per second. The User Interface has also been redesigned to serve both newcomers and experienced crypto traders.

More than 20.000 investors have traded over $95 million worth of physical gold on the platform. Gold holdings are insured by Helvetia, audited by BDO International, stored by Brink's Switzerland and ProAurum Switzerland.

Vaultoro is working to launch a gold-backed coin ("VGOLD") by the end of the year, based on the Lightning Network token protocol RGB. VGold aims to provide a secure system to transact with physical bullion, and is backed with a minimum of 100% physically allocated investment-grade bullion. The stable-coin asset class has become a key part of the crypto ecosystem, and has an estimated value of $2.8 billion. Unlike other so-called "stable coins", VGold will be the first in the market to be insured and audited.

With this revamped new version, other trading pairs of cryptocurrencies and precious metals will soon be available. Starting today, the Dash / Gold pair will be debuting on Vaultoro.

Vaultoro is already backed by startup VCs Techstars and Finlab AG, and has now started an equity fundraising campaign on BnkToTheFuture.com to help push VGold into the market.

"Our community is everything to us. We would like to give them the rare opportunity of owning actual stock of our company, so they can help us shape our products and vision while harvesting some of the benefits" said Joshua Scigala.
