Statement on StrikeX
Investment
CMC Markets CEO, Lord Peter
Cruddas, commented:
At CMC Markets, we are proud to partner with
StrikeX, a dynamic and innovative leader in blockchain technology.
We believe strongly in their vision and the transformative
potential of their solutions, including advancements in
self-custody, tokenisation, and blockchain infrastructure through
StrikeX Labs.
We would like to address a recent news
article which misrepresents our commitment to StrikeX and its
strategic objectives. The write-off of our initial investment is
purely an accounting decision and does not reflect our belief in
StrikeX's technology or potential, nor does it indicate any change
in our partnership.
On the contrary, we continue to integrate
StrikeX's services into our offerings and see our relationship
deepening further as we collaborate on Web 3.0 developments. The
team at StrikeX has made tremendous strides in this fast-paced
industry, and we remain excited to grow alongside them, supporting
their mission to reshape the future of finance.
CMC Markets is committed to fostering
innovation and partnerships that deliver long-term value, and
StrikeX remains a key part of that vision.
