Trucpal Tokenholders Will Receive Inaugural Dividend Payout Using Ethereum Blockchain 

NEW YORK and TORONTO, March 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The INX Digital Company, Inc. (NEO: INXD, INXATS: INX, OTCQB: INXDF) ("INX"), a broker-dealer and inter-dealer broker, announced today that it will facilitate the first security token dividend distribution on its platform using blockchain technology. HGC (BVI) Info Tech Ltd. (HGC), the issuer of Trucpal Tokens and a leading digital SaaS service provider serving the Chinese freight market, is leveraging INX's SEC-registered Transfer Agent solution to distribute the dividends on the blockchain in the form of USDC stablecoins.

"Trucpal's first dividend distribution to its investors is a full circle moment for the INX team, and implementation of the company's vision to allow true democratization of finance," said Itai Avneri, deputy CEO and COO of INX. "We have supported HGC through its entire journey, starting with its first capital raise for the Trucpal Token, the first security token offering on INX.One, and now the next evolution of the token's life cycle in the form of a dividend."

HGC's dividend payment using INX's blockchain-powered Transfer Agent is the first of its kind globally and represents the next evolution of digital asset investing. For issuers, HGC's dividend payout with INX enables greater opportunities to cut operational costs, engage with investors on a deeper level and raise capital. For investors, it provides liquidity and an opportunity for additional wealth creation that wasn't available before today.

"With the support of INX and Magic Circle, we are proud to issue the first dividend to Trucpal investors - more than 6 months ahead of schedule. Even more significant will be the launch of the Trucpal Token, exclusively on INX.One, which allows HGC to share the long-term benefits of the SaaS ecosystem with investors, shareholders, management team and users, rapidly scaling Trucpal's business in a quantifiable flywheel effect," said Wendong Zhang, Founder of HGC. "With the realization of this dividend payment, especially through USDC, HGC has completed the implementation of the entire process from token issuance, business development, revenue acquisition to dividend payment to investors, which means the successful verification of the entire process integration with the lNX.One platform. All this makes HGC confident to accelerate the system expansion and development, and will also attract more users to join the ecosystem to share the development and create long-term sustainable growth returns for all ecological stakeholders and investors."

HGC continues to revolutionize China's trucking industry with innovative, blockchain-based SaaS services and ownership economy. Specifically, the Trucpal application supports the fast growing demand for logistics solutions by enabling truckers to be more efficient while eliminating the industry's most common obstacles.

The Trucpal Token was offered pursuant to Reg D and Reg S exemptions in accordance with U.S. securities regulations and is based on actual freight transactions backed by HGC. Trucpal Token was first listed on the INX.One platform in July 2022, and is available exclusively on the INX.One platform to U.S. accredited investors and non-U.S. investors.  

"We look forward to working with our current issuer partners like HGC, and many others to come, that are interested in leveraging the wealth of opportunities available by participating in the digital economy through fully-regulated digital assets," Avneri stated.

INX's mission is to increase access for U.S. and international investors to the growing opportunities in the digital economy. The INX.One platform sets a global standard for effectively achieving democratization in financial markets, while simultaneously providing the necessary regulatory guardrails through close collaboration with U.S. and global regulators.

In 2021, INX became the first SEC-registered digital security IPO – closing with $84 million in gross proceeds from over 7,250 retail and institutional investors. 92.9 million INX Tokens were sold in the IPO. INX continues to lead the industry in providing novel trading and capital raising financial instruments to enterprises and companies worldwide.
