Aptorum Group’s subsidiary Smart Pharma announces Smart Pharma token (SMPT) to be listed on IDAX and LATOKEN
Seychelles, July 8, 2019 -- Aptorum Group Limited (Nasdaq: APM) subsidiary Smart Pharmaceutical is excited to announce that the Smart Pharma Token (“SMPT token”), is to be available for trading on IDAX (https://www.idax.pro/) and LATOKEN (https://latoken.com/). IDAX and LAtoken are two leading global cryptocurrency exchange platforms. SMPT Token will commence trading on IDAX on or around July 10, 2019, and shortly thereafter on LAToken.
The SMPT token is an ERC-1404 security compliant token with ERC-20 and ERC233 compliance on the Ethereum blockchain. SMPT tokenizes rights to a portion of the royalty income derived from the eventual commercialization of intellectual property rights of drug candidates to be discovered under our Smart-ACTTM platform.
The Smart-ACTTM platform is a repurposed and new drug discovery platform launched by the Smart Pharma Group which intends to revolutionize drug discovery, repurposing and repositioning. In the forthcoming developments, Smart Pharma Group would include the incorporation of blockchain technology into the drug development and discovery processes, initially through the adoption of the SMPT token as the first step. We believe that blockchain technology will significantly increase data transparency and bring distributed power from participants worldwide to co-develop and evolve our next Smart-ACTTM platform technology.
Smart Pharma Group recognizes that blockchain-based technology will continue to play an important role in pharmaceutical development and also has the capability to foster community-based ecosystems of passionate and like-minded people in revolutionizing the drug discovery industry who would like to be an integral part of the process around projects.
Smart Pharma Community is jointly managed in collaboration with Aenco Solutions Limited. For further information, please join the discussions on our social media platforms which can be accessed as follows.
