CEO FORTnightly Message - 19/10/18There is a lot of work being done in the background here at GSX Group.
We have been hiring to strengthen our already incredible team, focussing on the GBX business development network in London and Singapore. Our work on the Global Securities Protocol (GSP) is also making significant progress.
We continue to travel extensively meeting with our Sponsors, potential Sponsors, industry experts and project leaders. Many commentators on the global conference network note the current bearish sentiment that the sector is experiencing and although there are many questions and uncertainties in the short term, this is counterbalanced by a feeling that in the long run there is clear vision and optimism. Bridging that ‘canyon of doubt’, navigating the obstacles in our way requires energy, talent, creative thinking and some risk-taking too! What we also believe is that the global exchange scene 2 years from now will be very different to what we see today.
The Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX) has continued to grow and develop. It is a testament to the robust platforms we have established, here is what has been happening since last we connected:
1 - GBX Rewards Programme Goes Live
Our GBX rewards programme is now live, each GBX account holder will find their unique referral link and code in their account profile page. Sharing this code online helps you gain rewards. For every person who completes registration for a GBX account using that link, both the referrer and the referral will receive rewards! It is our way of giving back to our community and saying thanks for your support. You can read more about the rewards programme here:

https://gbx.gi/news/gsx-group-regtech-summit/ 8 - Upcoming events
We often get asked the question “what is Gibraltar doing to raise its global profile and compete with other jurisdictions?” Quite a lot as it happens. For example, we have an exciting set of events ahead of us, including next week, 4 days in London dedicated to Gibraltar. The week commences with the Gibraltar Financial Services Lunch being hosted by the Government of Gibraltar, followed by a series of more private and public sector get-togethers involving both the UK and Gibraltar financial services communities, and also GibFin London on the 24th October. The GBX are the headline sponsors of the GibFin conference, hosted in the QEII Centre, Westminster. If you would like to attend, you can find more information about the event here (
https://www.gibfinlondon.com/). We will finish the week with a London based Sponsor Firm Summit, where we will discuss and debate how we can continue to improve our token deal flow and community
Thereafter I shall be joining the GBX team in Asia to attend the Hong Kong FinTech Week, the world's first cross-border fintech event. If you would like to arrange to meet up with someone from the team you can e-mail
info@gbx.gi Finally, at the GSX Group, we strive to constantly push the boundaries, getting involved with debates on increasing standards for the blockchain industry, meeting the community and pioneering toward a new era in blockchain powered finance and I will always keep you updated on these areas that myself and the team are working diligently towards. So that is the round up for this FORTnightly message, as always thank you for your continued support.
Keep on ROCKing everyone!
