Unicoin Set for Crypto Exchange Debut After Major Shareholder Approval

After a decisive vote during the Special Shareholders’ Meeting on December 5, Unicoin shareholders formally agreed the Board of Directors’ recommendation to convert the cryptocurrency into a decentralized, community-driven asset.

This strategic pivot ensures that Unicoin is classified as a non-security subject new guidelines recently announced by Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins (SEC). The new guidelines state that cryptocurrencies will only be considered securities if there is an “explicit and unambiguous expectation of essential management efforts to be undertaken by the issuer.” By transferring such management responsibilities to the newly established Unicoin Foundation, Unicoin avoids the restrictive ‘security label’.

By securing a non-security classification, Unicoin can be traded as a commodity on major global cryptocurrency exchanges, rather than being limited to low-volume platforms authorized only for trading crypto securities.

“It is fortunate that the new SEC guidelines were unveiled ahead of our ICO,” said Alex Konanykhin, CEO of Unicoin. “If we had continued with our previous business model, Unicoin would have been classified as a security – a status that would have severely limited our liquidity. By aligning with Chairman Atkins’ guidance, we avoided this obstacle and positioned Unicoin for trading on major crypto exchanges.”

Sakineh Majd, a policy advisor for Unicoin, highlighted the shift in regulation: “Chairman Atkins has narrowed the scope of regulation from the previous administration’s position that ‘all cryptocurrencies are securities’ to a specific definition with explicit commitments from management. This represents a significant improvement in regulation and provides Unicoin with a clear path to avoid the security status.”

Having received shareholder approval, Unicoin is now moving ahead with plans to list on several major crypto exchanges.
