The\u00a0announcement of Patricia Token (PTK) by Nigerian crypto exchange Patricia was greeted by users with scepticism and some suspicion, as they took to social media to question the motives behind the move. Now, in a response to that reaction, the crypto exchange company has released a white paper seeking to explain the intended function of the Patricia Token.<\/p>\n
According to the released white paper, the Patricia token is not a stable coin but a debt token, issued to customers to manage users’ debt. Patricia said that it will operate similarly to an IOU (I owe you) document, serving as a means for the exchange to acknowledge its debt to its users, and promising to pay holders 1 USDT for each Patricia Token in the future.<\/p>\n
In April 2023, Nigerian crypto exchange Patricia halted withdrawals and deposits due to a breach. However, customers who have not been able to access their funds for months due to the breach were not mollified by the announcements. They raised questions, including how the token was backed and why Patricia converted them without customer consent.\u00a0A major question is when they will be able to access their funds. The PTK whitepaper does not offer a specific answer to this question.<\/p>\n
