Aureus (AUR) is a crypto-token built on the Bitcoin blockchain, which derives its value through a managed trust fund, known as Aureus Bitcoin Trust (ABT). Aureus is unique in bringing together blockchain and cryptocurrency technology to the real-world. The AUR tokens derive their value from a base reserve of Bitcoins (BTC), which will be stewarded by a consultancy Cryptocrest. Cryptocrest has a mandate to manage the trust fund and Aureus ecosystem to provide the best returns to investors who hold the AUR tokens. The value of AUR tokens is derived from the initial ABT reserve, which is 15,000 BTC, and the investment competency of Cryptocrest, which has a proven experience in managing large sums of money for investors in the regular economy. By combining crypto-tokens with real-world investor expertise, AUR aims to provide holders with returns derived from the real economy outside of cryptocurrencies. Investors holding AUR will benefit not just from the use of AUR as a crypto-token in the economy, but also benefit from the increase in the value of ABT over time.
