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.”
