H20 Securities firm raises $150M for crypto water token

According to reports, H20 Securities, based in South Africa, sold the H20N coin to the investment company GEM Digital in order to raise $150 million. GEM Digital will possess H20N tokens as a result of their massive investment, and these tokens will be used to direct funding for water delivery infrastructure in places where there is a severe lack of access to fresh water.

The $3.4 billion Bahamas-based investment company GEM Digital specialises in non-traditional investments like digital assets and machinery for extracting resources. H20 Securities thinks that its solution will enhance the amount of water available to the world’s population while also bringing about more significant growth in water infrastructure globally.

CEO of H20 Securities Julius Steyn noted in a joint statement on July 4, “The focus with the H2ON token is mainly on the financing of water projects internationally and not so much on the technical engineering and construction of such projects.”

GEM Digital has a history of making investments in technologies that aim to better the environment and human living standards. It has investments in Neos Ocular, a company that makes lasers to enhance eyesight, and Changing World Technologies, a company that processes food waste.
