We intend to operate the leading electronic global futures marketplace for trading a broad array of alternative products with special focus on Digital Assets. Currently, we are the only marketplace planning to offer an electronic venue for trading of a range of deliverable Digital Assets products as futures. Through our electronic trading venue, our marketplace brings together buyers and sellers of derivative contracts on Digital Assets and several other alternative products. Our electronic platform increases the accessibility and transparency of the Digital Asset markets and enhances trust, speed and quality of trade execution. Additional, products in the product pipeline include Freight, Weather and Hashing futures. Freight and Weather will be launched in partnership with entities that act as brokers in these markets or large participants e.g. shipping companies. The open architecture of our business model — meaning our ability to offer centralized access to trading in futures on a decentralised cleared basis through multiple interfaces — allows our participants to optimize their trading operations and strategies. We intend to conduct our futures business directly, and our Clearing business through Third Party Regulated Clearing Houses or, should it become necessary, through a wholly owned subsidiary, ADE Clear Chain. At launch ADE will be the largest Digital Assets futures exchange outside of North America (by default). We will also offer a variety of market data services for futures, which we intend to spin off into a market data subsidiary. ADE owns its entire technology stack which is currently offered via SaaS agreements to form an additional revenue stream for the business.At ADE we will offer market participants price transparency, a full market depth view, liquid markets and transactional integrity all at a fixed low cost. ADEs technology is ready and deployed. We are presently doing a late seed round in anticipation of a q4 2020 UAT deployment.
