Interesting. I like the name but the idea behind it is still debatable. Zero trading fees.. That's pretty much a dream thing. I wonder what the catch is.

They will eat the cost of the fees (using ICO funds I assume) until their ICO underwriting service matures. After that they will offset the loss in fees with the ICO underwriting revenue.

In addition tokryptonaut's comment which I think is accurate reading about their platform:

To be fair there are existing trading platforms that do this, robinhood being a prime example. However in robinhood's case I heard that they make money by charging interest on the remainder amounts left in people's accounts in USD after they use $1000 to buy something like $974.54 in an ETF. So the remaining $25.46 might be small, but in aggregate over all of their users the interest on that amount helps them turn a tidy profit.
