BUX Announcements

2021-03-18 12:44:09 Dear community,

In light of recent feedback, we have decided to make more use of the announcement channel. BUX is growing fast and things are moving in the right direction. We want to share an impression of that with our community.

Some of last week’s BUX mentions in the news:

Financial Times: Europe’s cautious savers catch on share dealing craze

Region: INTL
“Europe is Americanising and whereas investing used to be a hobby it is now a necessity because interest rates are so low and the pension systems of European countries are becoming unsustainable,” said Nick Bortot, founder of Dutch neo-broker BUX, which has attracted over 400,000 clients since launching 18 months ago.

Financial Times: Who is winning the race to be the European Robinhood?

Region: INTL
A handful of start-ups such as Trade Republic in Germany, Freetrade in the UK and BUX in the Netherlands have seen their user numbers shoot up to between 400,000 and 600,000 in recent months, and they are now expanding across Europe in a scramble for market share. Promising low-cost access to trading in thousands of shares, funds and cryptocurrencies, these online platforms are undercutting the high commissions that European banks often charge retail investors.

Business Insider: Vrouwelijke beleggers kiezen vaker voor duurzame indexfondsen en innovatieve techbedrijven dan mannen

Region: NL
Vrouwelijke beleggers investeren meer toekomstgericht dan mannen, blijkt uit dinsdag gepubliceerd onderzoek van de mobiele broker BUX. Ze kiezen vaker voor duurzame indexfondsen en ook meer voor innovatieve techbedrijven. Bijna twintig procent van de vrouwelijke beleggers bij BUX investeert in ETF’s (Exchange Traded Funds), ofwel beursgenoteerde fondsen die een brede marktindex volgen. In de top tien van meest gekozen ETF’s staan bij vrouwen twee duurzame ESG-fondsen (Environmental, Social & Governance), terwijl bij mannen geen enkel ESG-fonds bij de tien meest gekozen fondsen zit.

Cheers from Amsterdam,

2021-03-07 20:13:55 BUX Crypto Newsletter #18

Dear Community,

We're bringing you the eighteenth newsletter of BUX Crypto

In this newsletter, we like to give you a quick update on our team's developments.

If you want to tune in to BUX Crypto on a daily basis, please follow us on Twitter or Telegram for more frequent updates and market insights!

In the past weeks we've worked on:

Listing 3 new crypto assets with Euro trading pair: Compound (COMP), Maker (MKR), and Kyber Network (KNC). These are highly respected projects in the rising DeFi (Decentralised Finance) space and in the coming period, we are exploring more new and exciting crypto assets to list on the platform. Let us know in Telegram or on Twitter what assets you'd like to see listed on BUX Crypto!

A new payment service provider integration that allows us to offer: Mastercard, VISA, Apple Pay, and Google Pay as new payment options for deposits on the platform.

Pancakeswap as an addition to the BUX Token markets, more info will follow in the coming week.

​Limit orders (the option to buy and sell cryptocurrency for set price levels instead of the market price).

Enabling users to provide additional requested documentation more easily so they can pre-approve and unlock their tier 2 account. This will smoothen the experience for users that want to deposit larger amounts on the platform.

Implemented smaller improvements: a reminder for users with a balance to enable 2FA on their account, and disabling the EUR withdrawal option when users have no EUR balance instead of hiding the option completely.

Development of the BUX Crypto deposit and withdrawal verification app that is in line with the new Dutch crypto laws for cryptocurrency service providers.

The new BUX Community Forum. New invites to 1000+ active users for the private beta will be sent out this month. The forum will be publicly launched on the 5th of April.

In the coming weeks we will work on:

Continuing the work on new product features mentioned above.

Specific launch announcements for the 3 new crypto asset listings will be made public later.

DNB registration: pending approval.

In order to accelerate all our plans for development this year, we are looking to hire new developers!

So, if you are interested or know someone who might be interested to join our team, feel free to check out the open positions.

Let me know if you have any further questions in our Telegram community channel or follow us on Twitter.

Cheers from Amsterdam,

2021-02-14 11:59:59 BUX Crypto Newsletter #17

Dear community,

We're bringing you the seventeenth newsletter of BUX Crypto on Valentine's day with love!

In this newsletter, we like to give you a quick update on our team's developments.

First of all, as a result of the rapid growth on our platform, the BUX Token has reached a new year's high of $0.32!!

Also our BUX signup promotion has ended in January. So as of this month, you need to hold 1.000 BUX tokens in your portfolio to automatically enable zero-commission trading on your account.

Furthermore, Tesla announced last week that it bought $1.5 billion worth of Bitcoin. We believe that this is truly one of the most iconic moments in the history of Bitcoin. As a result, Bitcoin reached a new all-time high which resulted in significant growth on our platform breaking some of our own daily records.

A big shout-out to our team for making sure everything kept running smoothly!

In the past weeks we've worked on:

Successful deployment of the new exchange integration, allowing us to list new crypto assets on the platform and to provide better prices for our users. Now we can add a selection of new assets in the coming weeks and also lower the minimum trade amount of €30 to €5 euro for most of the main trading pairs.

​Limit orders (the option to buy and sell cryptocurrency for set price levels), launch of this new feature is set for Q1.

Scoping and conceptual development of the new utility improvements for the BUX Token. Details will be shared in the updated version of the BUX Crypto roadmap.

Development of the BUX Crypto deposit and withdrawal verification app that is in line with the new Dutch crypto laws for cryptocurrency service providers.

The new BUX Community Forum. First invites to a selection of BUX Ambassadors for the private beta of the Forum have been sent out. The public launch is scheduled for the 5th of April.

In the coming weeks we will work on:

Continuing the work on new product features mentioned above.

Starting the listing process of new assets. Specifics about new listings will be shared in separate announcements.

Looking into Pancakeswap as a new addition for the BUX Token markets.

Integrating a new payment service provider that enables us to offer more (local) payment methods and credit cards.

DNB registration: We have not received a response from the DNB yet.

And, in order to accelerate all our plans for development this year, we are looking to hire new developers!

So, if you are interested or know someone who might be interested to join our team, feel free to check out the open positions at our careers page.

Let me know if you have any further questions in our Telegram community channel or follow us on Twitter.
