Uphold Becomes First Money Platform to List Voxels

Following $500k Crypto Crowdfunding, Voxels Now Available for Purchase with USD, GBP, EUR or CNY During Exclusive Window with Uphold.

Cloud-based financial service, Uphold (https://uphold.com/) is now allowing its members to purchase Voxels (VOX), official currency of the virtual reality content creation platform, Voxelus, in advance of its general public launch, scheduled to begin on or before April 2016. Voxels will be used for the purchase, sale, payment and settlement of all content, products, services and awards in the Voxelus platform.

Uphold members can now purchase Voxels directly in their Uphold wallet at no cost and funds will be instantly loaded onto a VOX card in their account. VOX will be able to be moved, converted, held and transacted as any form of currency, digital currency or commodity easily.

As of December 23, 2015, Uphold members will be able to immediately:

 - Buy VOX directly on Uphold using bitcoin, bank transfer, credit or debit card, or with currently held funds at a set rate of 650 Voxels per Bitcoin (about $0.70 for one Voxel).  This rate is fixed by Voxelus as the floor valuation in the terms of its crowdsale for the remaining 30 million Voxels issued.

 - Hold VOX safely and securely in their Uphold Wallet for free.

 - Send VOX to any member on Uphold, easily, instantly and for free.

Currently, VOX is for beta pre-sale only. VOX is not currently offered to the general public for purchase on open market terms and Voxelus has placed on Uphold certain restrictions on the trading and transferring of the VOX until on or before April 2016, when they intend to offer the VOX for purchase by the general public. When all members of the general public have equal access to the VOX, on open market terms, trading restrictions and limitations will be lifted and removed by Voxelus.

Voxelus and Uphold will both be presenting at the Tech Debut media showcase in Las Vegas on Monday, January 4,  during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).  Uphold founder Halsey Minor will also be a keynote speaker during CES as part of the first Digital Money Forum on Friday, January 8.
