Management Commentary
Levy Cohen, CEO of Wellfield, commented, "The hard work of our global team translated into strong revenue growth that accelerated through the end of the calendar year, driven by solid performance at Coinmama as well as the launch of Wellfield Capital.
"Looking at 2023, we see several well-defined opportunities for growth and expect it to be an even more important year for our organization's expansion. Over the next 12 months we will focus our efforts on both user growth and the commercialisation of our proprietary decentralized products and services, beginning with the powerful volatility and fixed income products we launched with select partners in mid December last year.
"In addition, with our acquisition of Tradewind Markets closing earlier this week, we see a meaningful opportunity to begin creating what we expect will be a transformational precious metals platform that will benefit both investors in metals, as well as producers. By driving consistent enhancements and unique products to our user base during 2023, we expect to continue growing Revenue while creating value for shareholders."
