Over the last two years, we have worked very hard to establish a product offering we believe is truly unique and provide a new, different experience to traders, brokers and developers. We have been selective about the brokers we have chosen to work with, and it has taken time getting the regulation right across various jurisdictions. Our new appointments will enable us to accelerate our plans.
