Gatecoin.com, a regulated trading platform for cryptocurrency and blockchain assets, has announced that it has added SingularDTV's token, SNGLS (listed as SNG), to the exchange’s expanding offering of Ethereum-based tokens and trading pairs.

The announcement follows the decentralized entertainment platform’s ICO on October 2nd, 2016, where USD 7.5 million equivalent in ETH was raised in just 15 minutes, of which USD 1.9 million (ETH 150K) was underwritten by Gatecoin. The addition of SingularDTV’s token to Gatecoin platform follows its support FirstBlood tokens (1ST) announced in September.

“When we first heard about SingularDTV we were very impressed by the project’s team and their ambitions. During Devcon2 in Shanghai we were pleased to see that our excitement for the project was also shared by many prominent members of the Ethereum community. So we were very fortunate for the opportunity to work with the SingularDTV team to underwrite a proportion of the ICO, as many of our clients had expressed a lot of interest in participating”, Gatecoin CEO Aurélien Menant said.

SingularDTV is an Ethereum-based production and distribution platform, creating broadcast quality original film and television content initially focused on non-fiction and the science fiction genre. SingularDTV aims to disintermediate traditional media’s monopolistic business models by applying the principles of decentralization with its smart contract rights management platform.

The SingularDTV team has used Ethereum’s platform in order to create a localized token called SNGLS (or SNG on Gatecoin), which is programmed with the terms and conditions of SingularDTV and its intellectual property, rather than simply using ETH – the internal 'fuel' – the currency unit of Ethereum blockchain.

The tokens represent SingularDTV’s CODE (Centrally Organized Distributed Entity) structure — a new breed of organization run by a Smart Contract System (SCS) engine. Details of the CODE structure were developed in partnership with ConsenSys and Swiss law firm MME, among the architects of the Ethereum Foundation, with assistance from legal innovator Luka Muller, who is at the forefront of the legal/tax structure for tokenized ecosystems.

SNGLS tokens are embedded with a revenue claim against which token holders derive income from all of SingularDTV’s revenue streams.

“We’re now proud to list SNGLS as the newest edition to our growing basket of Ethereum tokens and comes a week after we also listed FirstBlood’s token. We believe that many prospective investors will also share our long term optimism for the project and we look forward to watching the first season of ‘Singular’ the TV series”, Menant added.

SingularDTV’s token is currently among the top 20 cryptocurrencies, with a market capitalization over $12 million (at press time).
