‎“Digital assets and the cryptographic technologies underpinning them are ‎disaggregating financial markets and products and redefining a more intuitive user ‎experience for the digital-first generation. We are dedicated to taking a leading ‎role in bringing the benefits of this disruptive technology to clients globally across ‎wholesale and retail markets,” said Hadi Kabalan, CEO of 180 Digital Assets.‎

Commenting on the news, Karim Farra, co-founder of 180 Capital, said: “We believe ‎that DLT is just beginning to scale as it is attracting considerable attention from ‎governments and the private sector who seek to benefit from its inherent superior ‎characteristics.” ‎

‎Ziad Aboujeb, co-founder of 180 Capital, added: “Blockchain has the potential to ‎disrupt many industries including financial services. It is expected to generate ‎‎$10tn worth of opportunities by 2027 and to impact 10% of the global economy.” ‎
