Creating a cryptocurrency more stable than fiat
As cryptocurrencies have proven themselves far superior in regards to technology, cryptocurrencies that act like fiat currency have been created. Many traders switch between cryptocurrency and fiat several times a day in order to make profitable trades. But because cryptocurrencies are more convenient to use, many exchange pair against the cryptocurrency Tether instead of USD. Tether is backed 1-1 by the USD which eliminates the volatility in the crypto market when switching back and forth. However, what some might not realize, is that the USD itself is quite volatile itself. In 2017 alone, the value of the US dollar fell ~14% against the Euro. This is where Globcoin comes in, they are creating a more stable currency that has all the conveniences of a cryptocurrency. The Globcoin (GLX) is backed by a “basket” of fiat currencies and gold. A total of 15 fiat currencies from around is chosen, these include already established major currencies and some from promising developing countries. The volatility of this basket has only been around 4% in the last 15 years, which is extremely stable, especially when considering a currency like the USD vs EUR fell ~14% in 2017. Which specific currencies the basket consists of and the exact percentages of these and the gold are displayed below.

Tokens and utility
Cryptocurrencies are often criticized for not being an easy way to pay in real life, but with a card like the Globcoin Card, paying for in real life stores is just as easy as using your current card. The Globcoin prepaid card is powered by the Globcoin multicurrency savings app. When the GLX token is implemented into the app, users will be able to spend their GLX tokens in real life stores through the card. Globcoin is also issuing another token, the GCP token. This ERC20 token is going to provide utility when issuing or exchanging GLX on their app. The GCP is the one Globcoin is selling in their ICO.
