An estimated 300 participants took part in the first round which sold approximately 5 million XGEM at the rate of 17,250 XGEM per BTC. Thus, total proceeds equal approximately 290 BTC (~$110,000), an average of nearly one BTC ($367) per participant.
While buyer interest was strong in the first round, founder Daniel Peled expects numbers to strengthen as the clock for the campaign ticks down. He compared the campaign to that of Ethereum, where “90% of the buys were at the last minute of the best price before it rose.”
GEMS and Koinify worked hard to collaboratively manage the crowdsale, with the GEMS team even flying to San Fransisco where Koinify is based.
