OpenLedger, a decentralized conglomerate, announced that it is making ICOs mainstream with three new startups that would be open for pre-investment from institutional investors.

The official announcement was made by Ronny Boesing, CEO of the OpenLedger crowdfunding ecosystem at the Money2020 and CoinAgenda trade shows. The three new startups include Apptrade, which is creating a stock market for apps, Centz that aims to make all gift cards interchangeable and spendable anywhere, and Beyond the Void, which is making a MOBA game economy controlled by the players.

“Apptrade, Centz, and Beyond the Void all show applications of blockchain technology to mainstream industries. By accelerating their ICO crowdfunding, we’ll accelerate the spread of ICO culture and practices as well. This launch is just the beginning,” Ronny Boesing said.

The move to open ICOs to institutional investors by OpenLedger, marks the growing convergence of ICOs and venture capitals. All the three projects will be launching their ICOs with the help of OpenLedger crowdfunding ecosystem.

The decentralized conglomerate is publicly opening its partner ICOs to pre-invest from institutions and investors. The early bird buy-ins are open for App trade and Centz and all the three startups will launch their ICOs in upcoming months.

In the wake of reports of dubious nature of recently held ICOs, investors are advised to maintain high caution and verify the authenticity of the project and the team behind before investing.
