Summary
Following the disposal of EMS, GST is now a focused, 'pure play', fintech group with a solid operational platform on which to build and continue to role out our GS Money solutions. We also enjoy a healthy balance sheet to fund our continued expansion.
GS Money is intended to make cross-border payments quick and affordable to an addressable market of millions of participants by netting and settling trades through its stablecoin-based payments network. With Angra the Group has a fully operational, FCA approved API conducting fast, secure, and low-cost foreign exchange business and payment services internationally, and the first pillar of GS Money in place.
Unlocking the demand for a large user base also requires a platform that can meet the clearing and settlement needs of both retail and institutional customers, with high compliance and security standards. The GS Exchange provides such a platform that is designed offer users greater technology integration with regulated stablecoins as well as the introduction of more convenient onramp and offramp services for those stablecoins in due course, the second pillar of GS Money.
With the Angra and GS20 Exchange platforms in place and properly integrated, ongoing discussions with the FCA regarding the Company's UK stablecoin plans, and further progress being made on the development of the Company's GS Money solutions, coupled with the disposal of EMS, GST has come a long way in a short period of time.
Additionally, the recently announced proposed acquisition of PAYPT, which is only subject to FINTRAC's approval of the change of control, will pave the way for the Group to launch a multi-currency e-wallet service and enable Angra to issue Sterling local accounts and Euro SEPA IBAN accounts to its clients, thereby providing a comprehensive one-stop business banking solution.
We will also continue to explore any further value enhancing acquisition opportunities that may become available and that can assist with accelerating the development of the Group.
Whilst we will continue to invest in developing the Group's stablecoin-based cross-border payments network, with a firm focus on minimising costs, the disposal of EMS has removed a significant drag on our finances. I therefore believe there is a very bright future for GST and I look forward to reporting on our further progress in the coming months.
We've come a long way since then. Bring them on.
