A lot of news labeled Bcnex as a project with great potential with a broad user base and successful sales of tokens in the first two rounds. In addition, market conditions seem to show positive growth, as a result, investors’ interest in participating in the remaining sessions is increasing. To accommodate this, Bcnex announced an increase in ICO hard cap to 30 million USD from the original 15 million USD.
