Abacas is a hybrid decentralized exchange (DEX) that allows you to trade, exchange or transfer Any Asset Anywhere Anytime. It reduces risk, improves liquidity and mitigates cost. With Abacas, for example, you will be able to exchange your gold for UK stocks in just one transaction.
We envision a world where you can pay for any purchase using any asset in your wallet. Imagine making your next purchase with Gold, GOOG stock or EUR — whatever your vendor accepts and whatever you wish to use. Imagine a world with less friction and lower costs. Imagine being in control and having infinite investment opportunities.
2. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking statements, which include completion of the proposed ICO or
similar, the anticipated use of the proceeds, the development and launch of The AbacasXchange technologies and
products, and other matters. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including any
statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Such information can generally be
identified by the use of forwarding-looking wording such as “may”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe” and
“continue” or the negative thereof or similar variations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-
looking statements, as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are based will
occur.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties,
both general and specific, that contribute to the possibility that the predictions, estimates, forecasts, projections and other
forward-looking statements will not occur. These assumptions, risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the
state of the economy in general and capital markets in particular, the development of competitive technologies, the
marketplace acceptance of Abacas technologies and products, and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of
Abacas. Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are made as of July 2017. Except as required by law,
Abacas disclaims any intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Additionally, Abacas undertakes no obligation to comment on the
expectations of, or statements made by, third parties in respect of the matters discussed above.
