AUTHORITO CAPITAL: INDIA’S FIRST CRYPTO FUND

With all the warnings from the Currency regulator of India and also being equated with a Ponzi scheme by the Government of India, Cryptocurrencies are strengthening their foothold in India. This is also strengthening Bitcoin holders and enthusiasts confidence that the crypto will have a better future in India.

As important banks in India have reportedly put off the bank accounts of leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Mohit Mamoria has founded a crypto fund named Authorito Capital that aims to help invest in cryptocurrency.

Authorito Capital is an actively managed open-ended crypto fund. For any investor, this fund is the easiest, diverse and the most secure way to start investing in cryptos. It is unique in the sense that along with trading, it also uses mining to grow the Net Asset Value of the assets under management. Authorito Capital holds a lot of similarity with the mutual funds, the only difference being that the underlying asset is cryptos and other decentralized assets

The Fund will be represented by PIE tokens. PIE is a cryptographic token (ERC-20) on top of the Ethereum blockchain that represents the fund. Ownership of a PIE token will represent the owner in the underlying assets, which will also come with additional benefits of voting rights for major decisions by the fund and earn various rewards.

Authorito Capital is an actively managed open-ended crypto fund. “For any investor, this fund is the easiest, diverse and the most secure way to start investing in cryptos. We are unique in the sense that along with trading, we also use mining to grow the Net Asset Value of the assets under management,” he said.

The team at Authorito Capital will deploy this capital in various decentralized assets, including coins, tokens, and ICOs. Up to 20% of the money will be used to back blockchain startups by participating in their token sales.

The Fund will have rewards to incentivize the holding of tokens, called Lock Reward. At the end of every quarter, a discretionary portion of the profit will be set aside to be distributed as rewards. The profits will be distributed to the token owners who have locked the transferability of their tokens through a Smart Contract. A token holder can lock their tokens between 3 months and 60 months. A longer lock-in will bring in a proportionally bigger chunk of the Lock Reward.

Regarding redeeming All investors may transfer PIE tokens at any point (as long as it is after 7 days of the token being issued) on the open market for liquidity.  For the first 60 months, the fund will allocate a limited portion of the fund to buy back tokens at the end of each quarter as a means of generating liquidity. This will only apply to tokens that are not locked-in. These buybacks will be a first-come-first-served basis. After 60 months, tokens will become fully redeemable at any point with the fund thereby becoming fully liquid.
