How Do KYC & AML Work in Crypto? (Explained)
Ownership of the company will be split between the three founding parties. They plan to start with a combined funding package totaling $6.42 billion. This includes $1 billion worth of CRO tokens, $420 million in a mix of cash and warrants, and access to a $5 billion credit line provided by a Yorkville-related firm.
To support this initiative, Yorkville also intends to list its Class A shares on Nasdaq under the proposed ticker symbol MCGA.
Once the business combination is completed, the new company plans to allocate nearly all of its available cash to acquiring additional CRO tokens. The approach is based on building a treasury that produces returns over time.
Part of this plan includes setting up a validator on the Cronos blockchain network. Validators are participants in proof-of-stake (PoS) systems that help secure the network and validate transactions.
