Athlete Coins generally represent a user’s fan interest in a specific athlete and are used to confirm eligibility to participate in contests and promotions to win prizes related to the specific athlete associated with that coin. Neither the Athletes nor their players’ associations and leagues have endorsed Athlete Coins, and Athlete Coins do not imply any affiliation with an athlete. Moreover, Athlete Coins do not correlate with an athlete’s performance and do not yield a return based on an athlete’s athletic performance.

Simon Grunfeld, Gallant Exchange Founder, and CEO, who since 2008, has been at the lead of numerous global retail and institutional trading and exchange platforms, remarked, “Our team is thrilled to have Rick at the helm. A world-class operator and leader of leaders, his proven experience within the world of capital markets will no doubt help Gallant achieve success on the road to come.”
The Gallant Exchange is designed for fans and athletes, first. The platform is built to support the trading of Athlete Coins (ACs) as well as the largest cryptocurrencies. Athlete Coins are minted on the ERC20 protocol, tradeable on the Gallant platform, and increase or decrease in value subject to market forces. Users can enter into trading competitions, contests, raffles for real-world collectibles and memorabilia of the respective athlete as a coin holder; in time, Gallant aims to provide more lucrative ‘experience’ prizes, providing fans direct interaction with their favorite athlete. When the value of the prize increases, so do the parameters of qualification to win.
