With rising uncertainty in major economies due to various political and macroeconomic conditions, BTC remains a “safer” alternative, at least for now.

The investment business will be promoted under a few key policies:

• Phases of implementation will be in place for the acquisition volume and holding ratio, with constant monitoring
• Countermeasures for price fluctuation risk and cybersecurity, encompassing a risk management strategy
