CEO Fortnightly Message 16/11/18
Dear FORTs,
I’m sure by now you have all seen the announcement regarding our new Joint Venture, Hashtacs Inc. and the STACS Protocol. I want to expand more on our plans and the future for the GSX Group and the fintech ecosystem that we are building, so, great news. Today, you’ll be getting not one, but two updates from me.
I want to go into as much detail as I currently can, regarding STACS (formerly GSP but now so much more), and to do that, it requires a second message to you all. Don’t worry, I won’t make you wait. It’s coming shortly after this update.
Without further ado, what’s been happening at the GBX over the last two weeks:
1. Hashstacs Inc. Joint Venture
This week we announced Hashstacs Inc., a joint venture between GSX Group, Chong Sing Fintech Holdings Limited and Prime Fintech Ltd. There’s a lot to tell you, but if you missed the official announcement, you can find it below. I will be following up this message with a dedicated update on STACS. Keep your eyes peeled.
