Frequently asked questions
The questions our investors ask most often, by topic.
Getting started
What is Coin District?
Coin District is a marketplace for private companies. Verified investors can back unlisted companies during their funding round on the Launchpad, through tokens that represent the company's shares or bonds.
What is crowdequity and how does it work?
Crowdequity is a crowdfunding method where a large number of people invest small amounts in a company in exchange for equity. It works by allowing investors to purchase ownership stakes in the company.
What is the difference between crowdequity and traditional crowdfunding?
The main difference lies in the type of reward for investors. In crowdequity, investors acquire equity in the company, while in traditional crowdfunding, investors may receive non-monetary or symbolic rewards in exchange for their financial support.

Account & verification
Do I need to be a professional investor?
No. You need a verified identity, and we ask you to complete the investor qualification before your first investment. Some offerings may depend on your answers and on your country of residence.
Can I invest from any country?
Access depends on your country of residence and on identity verification; some countries are excluded.
Which wallet do I need?
Your own wallet, the kind you control yourself. You connect it, then bind it to your account once. Coin District never holds its private key.
Investing & payments
How do I pay?
By card, in euros, from the page of the round you choose. Once the payment is confirmed, your tokens are issued to your bound wallet. Payment in USDC is announced but not available yet.
How much do I need to start?
Each project sets its own minimum ticket, shown on its page, together with the price of one token.
Are there fees associated with using your platform?
The amount you pay for an investment, fees included, is always shown before you confirm it.
Can I invest in multiple companies on the platform?
Yes. Investing in several companies spreads your risk, but does not remove it.
How can I track the performance of my investments?
Your dashboard shows what you invested, in which projects, and each round's progress. My dashboard
How can I stay informed about new investment opportunities on your platform?
New rounds are published on the Launchpad. You can also subscribe to our newsletter. See the Launchpad

What are the eligibility criteria for companies seeking to raise funds on your platform?
Eligibility criteria vary, but they include requirements such as viability of the business model, market traction, stage of company development, etc.
How does the company verification process work on your platform?
Our team reviews every project before it is published on the Launchpad. The review typically involves collecting and verifying information about the company, including its structure, financial statements and background.
What are the benefits for companies using your platform?
A tokenized round presented on its own Launchpad page to verified investors, card payments, and tokens issued automatically to each investor's wallet.
How do companies set their valuation when raising funds on your platform?
Company valuation can be determined by various methods such as comparable analysis, discounted cash flow analysis, financial projections, etc.
Risks & security
How are investments secured on your platform?
Investors are identity-checked, and tokens (ERC-3643) can only move between verified wallets. Your capital is not guaranteed.
What are the risks associated with crowdequity investments?
Risks associated with crowdequity investments include the possibility of total or partial loss of investment, limited liquidity of investments, market fluctuations, as well as specific risks related to each company. Risk Disclosure
What are the typical return prospects for investors on your platform?
There is no typical return: returns are never guaranteed and you may lose all the capital you invest. Conduct your own research and, if needed, consult a financial advisor.
How can I withdraw my investments on your platform?
The secondary market is not open yet. Until it is, plan to hold your investment until the company is sold or listed. Even once it opens, a sale will depend on another investor buying your offer.
Tokens & blockchain
Can I transfer my investments to another person?
Your tokens can only be held by verified investors: a transfer to a wallet that is not verified is rejected by the token itself. Coin District does not offer a transfer or resale feature yet.
What is the difference between blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies?
Blockchain is a form of distributed ledger technology that securely and immutably stores data using linked and cryptographically secure transaction blocks. Other forms of DLT may differ in their architecture and specific features.
How does blockchain enhance transparency in crowdequity investments?
Token issuances and transfers are recorded on the Polygon blockchain, where anyone can check them. It does not show how a company uses the money it raised.
