Rufus Round, CEO at the Company, said:
“2021 was a very exciting year for GlobalBlock and with digital assets becoming more widely adopted, it has allowed us to build a solid foundation for the future. The KPIs demonstrate the effectiveness of our primary key commercial differentiator, which is targeting High Net Worth Individuals with our service led proposition. This success to date has been achieved without undertaking any considerable marketing or communications activity, something we plan to commence in Q1 2022 in conjunction with the launch of enhanced technology that will be foundational for our growth.”
