Custodial services for digital currencies
As a result of the potential contagion from the recent collapse of FTX, the Company made the decision to move a majority of its digital currencies to an offline cold storage wallet in order to better safeguard its assets. This change in custodial practices is consistent with the Company’s risk management strategy in the current market environment.
