A single registration provides customers with access to several major crypto exchanges through the Tap App allowing them to purchase and trade over 50 types of cryptoassets, without having to operate through multiple exchanges, and store them directly in individual digital wallets. The wallets can also store fiat currency denominated in multiple major currencies. Utilising Tap Group's proprietary Artificial Intelligence middleware, Tap Group provides customers with competitive crypto trading prices through its connections with multiple exchanges, which are scanned to find the best possible trade permutations at the point of a transaction giving the benefit of best execution and pricing in real time.

Arsen Torosian, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

"While most fintechs list to fund a search for profitability, Tap Group is listing on AIM having already achieved it. That is our difference. We spent years doing the hard work first: building a fully regulated, cash flow positive business that serves nearly 400,000 registered users across the globe. We've proven the model, the technology, and the demand. So today is not about validation; it's about amplification. We offer investors what has become exceptionally rare: the explosive upside of a challenger, built on the profitable foundation of a leader. The opportunity is now, and we are ready to seize it."

A new interview with Arsen Torosian regarding the Company's Admission to AIM has been published this morning and is available to watch at: https://media.focusir.com/ArsenTorosian-TapGlobal-DiscussesAmbitiousGrowthPlansFollowingAdmissionToAIM.
