Dear Bankii Community,
First, thank you for staying with us through the highs and lows of building something truly transformative. As pioneers building an African-founded crypto card platform with global reach, we know trust and transparency are everything. Today, we want to share honest updates about where we are with the $BKNY token, what didn’t go as planned, and, more importantly, how we’re rebuilding and relaunching stronger.
Where We Stand Today
The $BKNY token was launched earlier this year with our first centralized exchange (CEX) listing on P2B. Unfortunately, the initial exchange offering (IEO) didn’t go as expected. Due to several external and internal constraints, ranging from limited liquidity and lack of trading incentives to an under-resourced marketing push, the launch underperformed.
At present:
- $BKNY is listed on P2B, but deposits are paused temporarily.
- Our DEX listing is in progress, alongside additional CEX plans.
- Our core products, Bankii Web and Android apps, the iOS app is awaiting QA cycles before our full go-to-market (GTM) launch.
We’ve taken time to reflect, rework our approach, and ensure that $BKNY moves forward with real-world purpose and value.
Reactivating with Real Utility: What’s Changing
We’re turning the page. This isn’t just a marketing refresh, it’s a complete realignment of the $BKNY token around core Bankii products, user benefits, and real revenue generation.
