Eddy Travia, Chief Executive Officer of Coinsilium, commented: “Coinsilium is recognised as an active and leading player in the rapidly emerging Web3 economy, and we in turn recognise the opportunity for substantial value creation this sector offers shareholders. The rapidly rising cryptocurrency prices obviously bodes well for our crypto-treasury position, and the strengthening market also appears to have generated further investor interest in Coinsilium, which is understandable given that we have seen before, in the previous cycles of 2018 and 2021, quite a close correlation between cryptocurrency price movements and marked market capitalisation growth for the Company. However, in addition to this, in our view, never before has the Company been so well positioned, with our portfolio now reaching across multiple high-growth Web3 markets including, but not limited to infrastructure, AI, social media, finance and game technology sectors. With the Financing in hand, and with the strong cryptocurrency markets prevailing, we are now in an extremely robust position to move the business forward at an important time and we will be communicating to the market as material developments occur.” DIRECTOR PARTICIPATION Malcolm Palle (Executive Chairman) and Eddy Travia (Chief Executive Officer) are participating with a total subscription of £20,000 each on the same terms as other investors in the Financing.
