Acudeen Technologies is proud to formally announce collaboration with First Growth Funds (AUX:FGF), a publicly listed company in Australia.
This enables the accelerated growth of the AssetChain Ecosystem being built on top of the current Acudeen platform which has amassed over $6,000,000 worth of transactions to date in the Philippines alone. This year, its expansion to Singapore and Myanmar has allowed it to address more markets using the new blockchain based structure which is currently under development. The team is now in negotiations with relevant parties that will establish the company in other emerging markets in Southeast and Central Asia.
Following the company’s successful Public Token Sale run in June, CEO Mario Jordan Magellan Fetalino III says that the next step will be to conduct more roadshows worldwide to raise awareness, onboard competent developers and forge more partnerships with relevant collaborators moving forward. “The token will be listed on mid-level tier exchanges within the next few months. Once it has enough volume, we will be able to see the token on larger higher volume exchanges. In the meantime, our primary focus as an organization is to develop and deliver an excellent product which will exceed all expectations once we release the beta in Q3 of 2019”, says Fetalino.
