• Controversy MundoCrypto, the alleged embryo of a Glovo for cryptocurrencies

  • Madrid Mundo Crypto is celebrated with the organizer in dollar bills and 'Little Nicolás' among the public

Controversy continues to surround

MundoCrypto

several days after the macro-event they held in Madrid.

The organization has communicated that it will return almost in full the deposit of 50 euros that the followers had to pay for the entrance to the

cryptofestival

, regardless of whether or not they attended the event.

This has been communicated by the company on its social networks, reversing its initial intention of keeping three euros for management or all the money in the case of those people who finally did not come to the WiZink Center last Saturday 27 of August.

"We have decided to return the amount of the deposit of the Event to everyone. Regardless of whether you have attended or not. The amount returned will be

€49.35, including €2.35

for management costs," collects a message published in the firm's Twitter profile.

On Instagram, MundoCrypto goes further and links this decision with an attempt to "respond to the erroneous statements that have been made about us and about the amount of the deposit to attend the event."

"They have mistakenly referred to this deposit as a penalty, and it has even slipped that a benefit was intended through it, when the reality is that this deposit was the most appropriate means, we believe that the only one, to ensure that all those who wanted to participate in the event could do so (considering the capacity limitations), in addition to blocking the places to beat a World Guinness Record", they assure in a publication on the social network.

The refund, according to his words, will take place

over the next 7 days

In this way, MundoCrypto continues to try to clear up all the doubts that last weekend's event raised around the event.

What at first was presented as a great day with cryptocurrencies as protagonists, ended up becoming a great controversy with the company and its CEO,

Mani Thawani

, the target of all the spotlights.

The

National Securities Market Commission

(CNMV) warned that neither MundoCrypto nor several of the sponsors had licenses as investment entities and the warning sparked controversy.

Cristina Pedroche and Jorge Fernández gave up presenting the event, several participants also dropped out of the poster and even some sponsors gave up being at the event.

None of this prevented Metaverse Day from ending up being held last Saturday at the WiZink Center in the capital, with thousands of people (mainly young people) in the stands and as many connected via the internet.

However, the event was revealed as a

great marketing campaign

for a company, MundoCrypto, which was founded in 2019 and has found its most representative leader in Thawani himself.

Thawani, a 29-year-old Canarian of Indian origin, has become in recent days one of the most sought-after profiles by the general public, although he was already known within

crypto

circles .

The take-off of the company has led him to locate his residence in Dubai, where events such as the one on August 27 in Madrid are common in the day-to-day life of the country.
