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.
