Stefan Katanic, co-founder: Coinbio is an exchange that has principles of integrity, security, power, value, privacy, rights, and inclusion built in as the bedrock of our mission statement and company infrastructure. Our vision is to make cryptocurrencies more accessible to mainstream participants, and lift the veil of uncertainty around current market conditions in the crypto space. We are currently positioned to become the first Regulated Block Exchange based in Canada’s vibrant FinTech ecosystem. We allow vetted SME to issue their own Security Token Offerings (STO’s) on our platform. 
Coinbio is building a block exchange that supports the trading of cryptocurrencies and listing of Security Token Offerings (STO’s). We have put together a dream team of strategic advisors in Capital Markets, Blockchain, Security and Engineering to make this a reality and stay ahead of the competition. 
 
With the goal of being the catalyst for this new market segment, it is our belief that the convergence between the crypto space and traditional capital markets will happen sooner rather than later, allowing a wider brush to be cast across the investment landscape. We will be positioned to provide the best avenue for a new generation of investors to participate on our platform.
