SINGAPORE, Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Diginex Limited
(Nasdaq: EQOS) ("Diginex" or the "Company"), a digital assets
financial services company, laid out its strategic roadmap to make
digital assets more accessible for institutions and individuals
during its presentation at the 13th Annual LD Micro Main
Event on Tuesday, December 15, 2020.
A replay of Diginex's presentation can be accessed through LD
Micro's Main Event website here.
During the presentation Diginex's CEO Richard Byworth highlighted:
- Diginex's competitive advantage as the first and only full
digital asset ecosystem comprising a cryptocurrency exchange
(EQUOS) to be listed on Nasdaq;
- The unique level of transparency and governance, which the
crypto industry currently lacks, that an SEC approved company
listed on Nasdaq can provide; and
- Diginex's two core areas of focus: (i) crypto derivatives,
supported by the infrastructure and standards required to drive
adoption by institutional investors; and (ii) the disruption that
blockchain technology can bring to capital markets
Additionally, Richard Byworth
announced that EQUOS intends to launch its first derivative
product, a Bitcoin perpetual futures product (futures contract with
no expiry), this month. The new product is expected to drive
meaningful volume growth to the exchange. An Ethereum perpetual
future is also due to be rolled out in this month. Both solutions
form part of a broader product roadmap that will provide the
essential infrastructure necessary for greater institutional
adoption of digital assets.
Mr. Byworth commented, "Adoption of digital assets has been
substantially expedited this year with the advent of a global
pandemic and various governments' fiscal and monetary responses. As
a result, we are likely to likely see significant increase in the
value of Bitcoin and the broader adoption of crypto assets
accelerate further next year. Diginex is the pure play digital
assets company, and the first and only to be listed on Nasdaq."
"Over the course of 2019 and 2020, we have built the entire
Diginex ecosystem with all value accreting to the exchange. EQUOS
is differentiated from many other exchanges in that it focuses on
solving many of the infrastructure and product issues that current
traders are dealing with on incumbent platforms. As we roll out a
much-improved version of the perpetual futures product, this is
just the beginning of our roadmap around the derivative product
set. Having one of the world's leading custodians in this space, we
are also able to provide our institutional clients with the
foundational piece towards a full prime brokerage offering or a
private bank-like experience for retail. 2021 is set to be a huge
year for Bitcoin, the industry, and Diginex."
"While we are currently targeting the sizeable market
opportunities in Asia and
Europe, our long-term goal is to
make our innovative products available to U.S. investors as well.
We intend to establish a strong foothold in multiple markets to
realize the massive potential for our business and drive greater
value for investors in the long run."
To close the conference, Richard
Byworth introduced Brock
Pierce, entrepreneur and philanthropist, who sat down with
Chris Lahiji, CEO and Founder of LD
Micro, his entry into investing in Bitcoin as well as his success
in business.
