Hex Trust

2022

in Review

This year has been eventful for the digital asset industry to say the least. Several crypto giants have gone down, and as a community we are still navigating the knock-on effects. 

Market confidence may be at a low point, but that hasn’t stopped us from building for the future. We remain convinced of the tremendous growth potential of the blockchain industry.

We will always work towards securing the permissionless future, and commit to creating a better financial system based on the tenets of decentralization, transparency, and verifiable ownership. 

Here’s a snapshot of what we did, together with our key partners, to achieve our goals in 2022 and make the digital asset industry stronger and safer.
