Elusive Billionaire Taizo Son is an investor of QUOINE
Taizo Son is perhaps best known as the brother of Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son, Japans's richest man. He is also the founder and current chairman of GungHo, a major Japanese gaming company that has released games like Puzzle & Dragons and Ragnarok Online. Taizo also founded Mistletoe, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage startups.
As a strong supporter of the blockchain technology, he is also an advocate of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and truly believes that ICOs through which cryptographic tokens are sold in an effort to bootstrap a blockchain network – could be "major methods" for startups to access capital.
He told CNBC amidst the Singapore Week of Innovation & Technology:
"ICOs are very good because they democratize venture financing for not only professionals like venture capitalists, but also individuals can participate in exciting projects from start-ups to support."
Through his Mistletoe Venture Capital fund, the brother of Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son has been an early supporter of fintech companies like QUOINE and will back QUOINE’s upcoming ICO/ QASH Token Sale.

Like other investors at QUOINE, Taizo expects the blockchain to finally democratise finance and believes that LIQUID platform has the power to bring together the global network of cryptocurrency exchanges all around the world to its single trading platform and provide liquidity for the illiquid crypto space.
QUOINE’s backers and investors are major advocates of the crypto/blockchain technology with a strong background in Blockchain technology, fintech and financial services regulation. Many of them have served as senior executives and board members at Asia’s largest firms, such as Yahoo, PayPal and Rakuten.
Given the leading role of the Financial Services Agency in developing rules of cryptocurrencies in Japan, it is notable that QUOINE Corporation, with the support and belief of our network of investors, became the first global cryptocurrency exchange to be officially licensed by the Japan FSA in September 2017.
The QASH Token Sale is the first regulated ICO approved by the Japan government. Further details about the QASH Token Sale, whitepaper, and registration for participation are available at https://liquid.plus. The latest news and updates regarding the QASH Token Sale will be discussed on our telegram channel.
