Additionally, the approval is conditional on that the Company completes the Offering according to plan and that sufficient proceeds is received through the Offering to cover the Company’s working capital needs for the upcoming twelve months, that the Company submits a copy of a signed depository agreement with Euroclear Sweden, completes Nasdaq training for board and management as well as no later than two days before the first day of trading, update its website in accordance with regulations.
Olga Feldmeier, Chairman of the Board and co-founder, comments
“Today, blockchain and digital assets belong to one of the most important technological innovations. Due to the early stage of the industry, the best practice of governance, compliance and transparency have not yet been broadly established. By becoming a public company, SMART VALOR aims to stand out as one of the early industry leaders in terms of corporate governance and transparency. This will increase our credibility and facilitate the build-out of our B2B business with traditional banks and fintech companies.
Additionally, becoming the first European digital asset exchange listed on Nasdaq First North will provide more trust and security to all investors and stakeholders due to the high-quality standards and requirements of Nasdaq regarding financial transparency, reporting, information disclosures and corporate governance practice.”

"Importantly, GalaxyOne advances our mission of becoming a full-spectrum financial services provider that builds trusted, regulated, and accessible products for all market segments."
GalaxyOne, which is available on mobile (iOS and Android) and online in the U.S., launches with four core products:

Fierce's former CEO, Rob Cornish, will continue to support the platform's operations as Chief Technology Officer of Galaxy. GalaxyOne sits alongside GalaxyOne Institutional as part of a unified suite of products, each tailored to client needs, but both built to Galaxy's institutional standards of security, scale, and risk management.
"As technology reshapes how people invest, expectations are clear: more yield, easier access from a single platform, and opportunities that extend beyond traditional boundaries," said Mr. Prince. "GalaxyOne delivers exactly that: a unified opportunity to earn yield on cash, trade crypto, and access U.S. equities, all supported by Galaxy's financial discipline, institutional oversight, and professional team trusted by some of the world's most sophisticated institutions. We have an exciting roadmap ahead and are excited to deliver a differentiated financial experience to our clients. This is just the beginning."
