-- In first few days of January, Mode sees 40% increase in user growth numbers compared to December
London, 5(th) January - Mode Global Holdings, the LSE-listed fintech group, reports a new record-breaking month with trading volumes and new user numbers surging over 1,500% and 500% respectively since August, as Bitcoin extends its historical, record-breaking rally.
Mode's strong performance mirrors the historical, record-breaking rally in Bitcoin, which hit $20,000 on December 16, surpassing its previous 2017 peak. In under three weeks, Bitcoin has gained another 70% to reach $34,000, a new record.
Janis Legler, Chief Product Officer, Mode: "The last few months for Mode have been exceptional as we have reached record growth rates. We've been particularly popular amongst first-time Bitcoin investors which caused our Bitcoin app to make it to the top 2 in the UK's App Store finance category in December, surpassing most high-street banking and fintech apps. Even during the holidays, over 90% of our eligible customers were able to open and verify their accounts in less than five minutes, instantly top up their wallet via Open Banking and buy Bitcoin right away. Unlike traditional stock markets, Bitcoin trades 24/7 which provides a truly innovative and revolutionary experience for new customers - they love it."
