CEO FORTnightly Message - 29/06/18
Dear ROCKers
Once again it’s been a busy 2 weeks with the team working hard on all sides. Here’s an update for you on what’s been going on and what’s coming up:
1) Razlin approved as the latest Sponsor Firm.
It’s a great pleasure to welcome Razlin to the Sponsor Firm network. Their experience in emerging markets and investment advisory will continue to help us bridge the gap between traditional and new finance options for companies. Razlin, based in London, is our thirteenth SF to join the network. We’re all looking forward to see what they bring to the GRID.

Over the last 2 weeks the team have been back out on the road, attending events and sharing the latest updates on the GSX Group’s journey to date. The first of these events was in Warsaw, Poland, where Philip Young, Marketing and Business Development Director was invited to speak at the Europe Blockchain Summit.

The first token sale on the GBX GRID has come to an end earlier than anticipated. It’s been an incredible journey for the Traceto.io team and we’re so happy to see how well they have done, selling out their public sale in what has been a challenging environment. Well done!
I caught up with Chye Kit, CEO from Traceto.io earlier this week for a quick video call. Watch the video here:

We have a new listing approved! The Carbon Grid Protocol (CGRID) aims to raise awareness, accelerate adoption, and revive the carbon credit market globally. CGRID’s ambition is to be the digital gateway to a carbon neutral world, creating a trusted effective mechanism to combat climate change, More details of the sale will be available next week and their official announcement is coming very soon.
6) The Digital Asset Exchange
I know you’re all eager to find out what’s been going on, so here’s a quick update. The Soft Launch has been great. It’s been fantastic to have our platform in the hands of the real people who are going to be using it going forward. The feedback has been great so far and we have so many possible new features from you our community, that we’ll be working hard to decide how to roll these out.
If you didn’t make it to the soft launch, don’t worry. I’ll have good news for you soon and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
7) Lastly, we are planning to host a special AMA from our new offices in Gibraltar very soon! Please keep your eyes peeled in our TG channel for the date, but in the meantime, feel free to send in your questions now.
Remember everyone, keep on ROCKing!
