PRESS RELEASE. ZK International Group Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: ZKIN) (“ZKIN“,”ZK International“Or the” Company “), a designer, engineer, manufacturer and supplier of patented, high-performance stainless steel and carbon steel tubing products primarily used for water and gas utilities, is pleased to announce its ETF-like decentralized fund and platform This is the second DeFi project in the xSigma ecosystem. The project website: https://xsigma-etf.com.

The announced ETF-like protocol will be a decentralized fund based on the Ethereum blockchain that will diversify between key crypto-related assets related to the DeFi space. In addition, it will provide a platform for others to build indexes on, and it is referred to as xTF by xSigma.

The decentralized smart contract application (DApp) is expected to act like an index of the major DeFi tokens, allowing crypto investors to benefit from the overall growth of a larger share of the DeFi market and potentially reduce risks and transaction costs. xTF from xSigma should also enable others to create ETF-like decentralized funds themselves with just a few clicks. It will enable institutions and individuals to create their own indices, attract capital, and earn trading fees and expense ratios. The fees can be configured and various business models implemented. Eventually, the platform is expected to turn into a marketplace or aggregator of various indices.

Indices are represented in the form of tokens that are issued on the Ethereum blockchain. Users can buy or spend ETF-like tokens with ETH. Spending tokens means growing the fund and adding more assets to the fund. Withdrawing funds from the capital requires burning the appropriate number of tokens. It is crucial that all persons who deal with the DApp maintain control over their crypto assets (e.g. Ethereum) and are able to deposit assets into the DApp and use them at their own discretion with their own crypto Remove asset wallets from the DApp.

The DeFi industry is now worth over $ 21 billion Banned in major logs, according to DeFi Pulse website. xSigma is now targeting the DeFi area with two projects: the DeFi protocol (Stablecoin DEX) and the newly announced ETF-like protocol xTF from xSigma. XSigma’s ultimate goal is to build an ecosystem of products for finance and blockchain.

Mr. Jiancong Huang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ZK Internationalexplained: “We are pleased to announce that xSigma now has two projects in the DeFi area. We look forward to bringing innovations to the blockchain and finance industries with the xSigma team. “

The publication of the xTF by xSigma is planned for the second quarter of 2021. Technical details will be announced shortly. xSigma expects to generate fees from the Fund’s operations in the future. The project will not be a regulated financial product and the xSigma team will not have access to digital assets stored in the DApp.

Some elements of the platform’s protocol will be immutable while others will need to be changed according to the votes of a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that governs important decisions related to the protocol. Votes are cast using governance tokens, which are ERC-20 tokens that are automatically issued by the protocol in accordance with the terms of the protocol. As utility tokens, such governance tokens are not registered with a securities regulator or any other regulatory authority. xSigma expressly waives any representations regarding the actual or predicted value of tokens issued in any of its DeFi logs. They don’t have to be of any value at all as this acts as a governance token for a DAO.

The protocol is not an ETF in the traditional sense; It is not registered, licensed, or regulated by any stock exchange or government regulator. Instead, the protocol will be a smart contract that will be published on the Ethereum blockchain and accessible to everyone so they can view and edit it as they see fit. Further details on the protocol will be discussed in a white paper published by xSigma prior to the protocol launch.
