"BitGold has kicked off 2016 with great momentum," said Darrell MacMullin, CEO of BitGold Corp. "January’s strong growth in our users, that are deepening their relationship with us reflect BitGold's progress in delivering on our goal to expand the accessibility and utility of Gold. We saw nearly 50% month over month increase in the core metrics on a comparable marketing spend to December.”

“The most promising indicator highlighting network growth was non-deposit transactions that grew at record numbers, more than 90% month over month. This reflects the growing trust of our users in the platform and their increased adoption of p2p payments, request payment tools and the prepaid card program”.

“In the face of global currency volatility and slowing economies around the world, we see tremendous opportunity ahead to further expand BitGold’s reach and utility with new upcoming tools to innovate how Global Savings and Payments can work.” said MacMullin.
