short answer is they take the volatility out of using another payment method https://blog.canya.com.au/2017/10/01/why-participate-in-the-canya-ico-the-can-coin/ payments on the platform can use other crypto currency, this is then converted to canya tokens.
I agree its a somewhat odd way to use their own crypto when it seems smarter to just use all of them in the first place or maybe something like bitpay. But obviously they then wouldn't make money to expand it and make it worthwhile for them personally. I mean if there are only ever going to be those initial canyacoins and popularity explodes won't that make them more expensive and create volatility anyhow? Still may be able to make money when its launched though.
the (can) token is used as a utility token within the platform payment system that offers a bridge between fiat and other crypto currencies.
If it was a security then they would likely be subject to much harsher laws and regulations. In an ideal world we could all profit share easily over crypto but the government needs to protect us from ourselves.
CoinMarketCap has the price starting at $4.11 and currently at $4.87? Less than 30M trading too. How is that 2000%?
