1/ So, a couple of days ago, ICONLOOP, ICON's key technical partner, announced a bridge investment of an additional $5 Million USD.

This @helloiconworld ICON news is a LOT more significant than it sounds, and one of the biggest news in recent times.

Here's why. 👇 $ICX
2/ This investment was led by 7 of some of the largest investment companies in Korea. 2 of these were strategic investments.

Danal Holdings & Kiwoom Investments announced they were looking to collaborate to seek new business opportunities. This is important.
3/ Danal Holdings is the company behind the largest mobile phone payment service in Korea, Danal Pay.

I've personally used it to pay for things online, such as food delivery & groceries. This is as MAINSTREAM as it gets.
4/ Danal Holdings announced, "We invested as we believe integrating ICONLOOP (services) with our payment solutions will create powerful synergies."

These "payment solutions" are the mainstream services I outline above.
5/ Kiwoom investments announced, "We rate ICONLOOP very highly in the blockchain space, and are excited to bring about integrations of services such as MyID to Saramin."

Saramin is the number 1 job search service in Korea. Anyone who's looked for a job in Korea has heard of it.
6/ This isn't the first time corporations announced integration of ICONLOOP tech.

But this is the first time that they've declared their plans to DIRECTLY integrate ICONLOOP tech to their MASSIVELY popular services with millions of users. This is how mass adoption begins.
