“We have been working with Chris and James for over a year, and their demonstrated execution and outstanding performance are impressive. They have a clear long-term vision, dedicated to shaping the future landscape of cryptocurrency derivatives trading, and are willing to make tough decisions, even sacrificing short-term gains to achieve strategic objectives. As an investment firm that collaborates with over 100 startups each year, we particularly appreciate Chris and James’ determination and excellent execution ability, their performance is exceptional.” said Jessica Liu, Partner at AppWorks.

“As one of the most active investment firms in the cryptocurrency field, we have been looking for a team that can truly elevate cryptocurrency infrastructure to an institutional level, and SignalPlus completely meets our expectations.

We have invested in over 400 projects, and SignalPlus’ performance is particularly outstanding as they have delivered on their commitment to bringing Wall Street-level tools into the cryptocurrency market, which is exactly the innovation urgently needed in the market maturation process.” said Jeff Ren, Partner at OKX Ventures.
