Regulated French investment firm offers interest-focused crypto bundles

Feel mining is a French company that provides you access to the world of cryptocurrency through multiple offers: staking, lending, masternodes, mining, buying crypto, machine sales, hosting.

Based in Grenoble, the company was recently accredited as a provider of services on digital assets (PSAN) by the French financial markets regulator Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF, E2021-022).

The core of Feel Mining’s offering is its four “investment packs” that offer investors the ability to easily diversify their cryptocurrency holdings by investing in staking or running proof-of-stake (PoS) masternodes, which are arranged by risk tolerance.

Serenity is, unsurprisingly, for the most risk-intolerant crypto investors, offering four stable products with good liquidity and a significant market cap in tokens. Discovery’s nine projects offer a balance with several stable and sustainable staking projects and other, more performance-oriented masternode investments. Challenger is the high-performance package for the most risk-tolerant, containing six masternode investments. 

A fourth investment pack, Opportunity, is a basket of six well-adopted projects that offer a diversified portfolio with strong capitalization and liquidity. Launched in May, Opportunity is aimed at medium- to long-term investors.

Investors can also build their own portfolio from Feel Mining’s 22 staking projects and ten masternode projects. These include Ethereum 2.0 (ETH), Polkadot (DOT) and Cardano (ADA) staking, and Dash (DASH) and Firo on the masternode side.

Beyond that, Feel Mining also rents cloud mining equipment or offers selling and hosting ASICS mining machines for clients in its farms in Canada, Siberia, Kazakhstan and Iceland — which, it says, offer inexpensive and 100% renewable electricity. 

Accreditation is key

Feel Mining pursued its AMF accreditation vigorously, winning approval in July.

Registration with the Paris-based AMF is mandatory for any company that offers custody, trades, or runs an exchange or other trading platform in France. In 2019, the government passed PACTE, the law creating the regulator’s DASP license.

PACTE also established a regulatory framework for initial coin offerings (ICO). The AMF approved its first ICO this May.

This February, the agency’s chairman proposed that the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) should take over as the European regulator of digital assets — which was followed in May by the appointment of a senior AMF official as head of ESMA. 

Prompt payment

While Feel Mining’s investment packs focus on altcoin companies, its investment packs pay interest daily — every five minutes, in fact — in Bitcoin, which can be reinvested, withdrawn, or exchanged for fiat currency at any time. 

According to the company, recurring investment frees investors “from the market noise” that can disrupt the ability to make good, long-term investments “with a cool head.”

The investment strategy of each of the four packs is analyzed and reviewed — and, if necessary, adjusted — once a quarter to ensure the products they contain still fit the risk-tolerance profiles and that the returns are meeting expectations.

The investing platform also focuses on the quality of the product; it underlines the importance of the easy-to-use interface and available and responsive customer support.
