What did DigitalX announce?
Investors are fighting to get a hold of DigitalX shares following the company's positive release.
In a statement to the ASX, DigitalX advised it has integrated the Drawbridge mobile application with Sell My Shares. This will enable employees and directors to quickly execute trades that have been approved under their company's share trading policy.
DigitalX noted that the feature marks an important milestone to commercialise Drawbridge and reap the rewards. The business application focuses on opening revenue streams through trading proceeds in addition to a software as a service model.
Furthermore, the company stated it has beefed up the Sell My Shares team with the appointment of Peter Hume. Taking on the role of product owner, Mr Hume will be tasked with executing product improvement and growth opportunities.
An experienced technologist, Mr Hume formerly held positions as chief technology officer (CTO) of stock market information platform, Market Index. He also co-founded and served as CTO of savings and digital asset investment app, Bamboo.
Pleasingly, it appears the Sell My Shares business is exceeding growth targets following DigitalX's acquisition on 30 September. As such, the first two months has experienced revenues of 35% greater than originally forecasted in the purchase agreement.
