CEO FORTnightly Message - 24/08/18
Hi ROCKers,
It’s been another busy two weeks as we approach the end of the summer season. In Gibraltar and Asia, the teams have been hard at work as always and the new HQ is becoming a hive of activity as the business comes together under one roof. I would like to share with you some of great work and the progress the team at GBX have made in the last two weeks.
1. Blockchain Assets Capital become the 19th Sponsor Firm
We welcome the boutique investment and advisory firm Blockchain Assets Capital (BAC), based in Australia, to our Sponsor Firm network. The continual growth of our global network shows the continued belief in the GBX Ecosystem. With more firms around the world onboard we will continue to see top quality token sales be presented to the GRID. I’m thrilled to welcome the team onboard and can’t wait to see what they bring to the GRID. To find out more about BAC, see the link below:

The Iconiq team, one of our Sponsor Firms, have been hard at work developing their own digital asset management project as part of Iconiq Holdings. It’s fantastic to see our Sponsor Firms wanting to use the GBX GRID for their own projects. Their token - ICNQ - is being adapted to work within their growing ecosystem. Exciting times all round and if you want to find out more, see the link below:

The Infinitus project token sale is now live. Infinitus is an encrypted storage Dapp of digital data. Their token sale of INF is currently taking place on the GBX GRID.

The GSX Group Blockchain Innovation Centre and Digital Asset Management (DAM) co-hosted a meetup at the Sunborn Hotel in Gibraltar. The event was titled Blockchain: Back To Basics and was designed to support the growing blockchain economy here on The Rock. The Meetup was a huge success with over 100 people in attendance from firms offering support services for the DLT and blockchain industry in Gibraltar. It’s been great to see the positive feedback from the event and we’ll be hosting more educational meetups and workshops going forward. You can watch a news report from Gibraltar’s local broadcaster GBC on the event here:

The GBX Digital Asset Exchange is growing from strength to strength with the number of registered users increasing each week.
