The main promise established in the whitepaper was that: “NAGA token will serve as the base currency for all parts of the NAGA ecosystem”. However, as per a recent update from the company, NAGA AG will begin to focus the bulk of its attention on their NAGA Trader product, owing to difficulties in capital markets, particulary that of cryptocurrency. This is a direct indicator of a broken promise, as without a functioning ecosystem, the main utility of the coin dwindles.

Quite clearly, NAGA’s post-ICO venture was an intense failure as the token itself is worth a pittance – at ICO, the value was 1 NGC to 1 USD and at time of writing, this has plummeted dramatically to 0.0459 USD. If the coin is worth nothing, then the ecosystem is worth nothing.

One of the benefits of the NAGA, as highlighted in this video, was that it would allow some two billion people worldwide without access to a traditional fiat bank account to invest in financial markets or in-game trading. However, this statement in itself is worthless, as these statistics are drawn from (typically) third-world inhabitants who likely have very little need for investment in the financial markets.

NAGA stated clearly that the token would be used to finance and trade on their entire ecosystem, including:

• NAGA Trader
• NAGA Wallet
• NAGA Virtual
• NAGA Markets
• NAGA Academy

To date, half of these products haven’t been realised. As previously stated, the token has dropped -98.6% in value, thus making it almost worthless, and these platforms irrelevant if they were built. The only item on the list that NAGA AG seem interested in develping, is the ‘profitable’ NAGA Trader tool. This of course, is profitable to the company first and foremost.

The owners of NAGA went on record in 2018 as promising that they are “building value soon”, but there have been no subsequent updates. Quite simply, there are no strategies in place to use this “ecosystem” to raise the value of NGC.

NAGA clearly highlighted that the proceeds of the ICO would be used thusly:

• 50% for marketing and platform growth
• 30% for the development of integrations into existing systems
• 10% for legal and regulatory actions to establish a regulated framework
• 10% for business development and strategic partnerships

NAGA tried desperately to claw in as many investors as possible, promising a ridiculous 30% (and higher) discount for ICO investors, with the promise of extra coins for referrals. The founders themselves drove FOMO and promotions for the coin on social media, despite claims that the coin wasn’t actually developed by NAGA AG, but by a third-party company known as NAGA Development Association Ltd (registered in Belize).

Finally, the ‘strategic partnerships’ mentioned are nothing short of ludicrous: one of the most recent partnerships was between NAGA and Hamburger SV, a football team playing in the German Bundesliga. We question exactly how this is strategic and a good use of investors’ funds.

According to a German report, key founder Benjamin Bilski confirmed it was NAGA Development Association Ltd who received the $50m USD in funding, and not NAGA AG in Hamburg. It seems highly unlikely that NDAL took control of this massive amount of funds, as there is quite simply nothing to show for it. The company’s registered location is a blank address not belonging to the company itself and almost no public information can be found regarding the issuing or subsequent expenditure of these funds.

A range of cryptocurrencies exist, all awaiting adoption and performing much better than NAGA. Any one of these could be used for financial transactions in the NAGA Ecosystem, rather than attempt to blindly integrate a token worth almost nothing.

No, NAGA Coin was a simply, industry-standard ERC-20 token.

NAGA has dropped to almost a nil value, and any further development regarding their ecosystem appears to be slowing to a halt, as per recent announcements.

On social media, it has been alleged that NAGA has neglected to pay affiliates, and there are widespread claims of this ICO having been a scam since inception.

In further allegations, NAGA have been suspected of categorising retail clients as professional traders without any verification or trading experience proof. They’re purportedly allowing anybody to increase their leverage on the markets to 1:200 with ease and aren’t following Client Categorisation under Section II of Annex II of MiFID II.

The founders of NAGA, Ben Bilski and Yasin Qureshi, were also involved as advisors in two alternate ICOs that have displayed strange behaviour. The first, Hicky, gathered $2m USD in funding at ICO but subsequently disappeared entirely without a trace. Second, a company called Asobi launched a coin to little success but raised $5m USD in their ICO. After four months, the token is yet to be released to exchanges:

We urge you to join this class action with complete confidence if you have been financially affected by this ICO.
