13th August 2018, UK - Shoppable media technology, DroppTV has announced its partnership with Initial Coin Offering (ICO) fundraising specialists, Chaineum, to fully manage the fundraising of its ICO, with private-sales to debut in September.

Aiming to revolutionize the e-commerce and media industries, DroppTV’s innovative platform allows consumers to shop directly from their screens whilst watching their favourite TV channels, shows, movies or new Dropp channels, with the press of a button.

DroppTV is enlisting the help of Chaineum’s seasoned ICO advisory team to lead and manage its upcoming ICO. Its upcoming launch will introduce DroppTV to the market, build a foundation of Dropp tokens, and accelerate the growth and adoption of the platform.

“Its advanced understanding of blockchain technology and extensive ICO advisory board is why we have chosen Chaineum to launch DroppTV’s ICO this September. We are excited to begin our journey with them to organise and foster a successful ICO launch.” Christopher Kelly, Managing Director at DroppTV commented on the partnership announcement.

With its ICO, DroppTV looks to open the door to new investors that are interested in its advanced technology and one-off concept. During its ICO, investors will gain early access to the Dropp Token before the sale opens up to the public.
