A detailed overview will soon be available in our newly established banking channel, outlining the services and their integration into the Gray Market ecosystem. Expect a comprehensive update in our upcoming whitepaper, targeting a rollout by mid to late April.
A Hint at Something Big:
We're also excited to hint at industry first development that the executive team is finalizing. This innovative venture is set to position the Gray Market uniquely in the industry as a whole - bridging the gap between traditional finance, and the digital asset space. It's worth noting that some of our planned service releases have been strategically delayed to ensure this can be achieved without an major issues, or setbacks.
With all of the new additions to the team this month, and major updates on the horizon, the Gray Market executive team will be participating in an AMA hosted in our channel, where members of our community can engage with the team directly and ask any questions they may have. I will be joining this AMA. We will be highlighting the new ecosystem updates; and as such, will be scheduled with the roll out of the next two service launches.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for being a part of our journey to redefine the industry!
