The Wirex Token Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) takes place on the 26th of June 2019 through OKEx’s OK Jumpstart programme. 1% of the total supply of WXT will be available for public purchase on a first-come-first-serve basis at an initial price of $0.01 per token. To ensure that Wirex users don’t miss out on the token due to high demand, an exclusive pre-IEO sale will take place on the Wirex platform for verified users on the 13th of June. Only $2m worth of WXT will be released for the pre-sale at a fixed price, giving users the best possible value.

The Wirex Token represents more than an investment opportunity. Owning WXT unlocks a plethora of benefits for Wirex users, based on the number of tokens held.
