Over the past decade, digital assets have emerged as a transformative asset class. Driven by technological innovation, broad end-user and institutional adoption and maturing regulatory frameworks, blockchains are affecting many industries, in particular finance, but with impacts spanning across supply chains, personal data, gaming, social networks and artificial intelligence.
Publicly listed since its inception in March 2016, KR1 plc is a digital asset company with one of the longest and most successful track records in the digital asset industry. After pioneering digital asset investments as a publicly listed company, KR1 plc was one of the first institutions globally to initiate staking activities on innovative proof-of-stake networks as early as March 2019.
KR1 plc shares are traded on the Apex Segment of the Aquis Growth Market in London, enabling investors to gain exposure to innovation and growth of digital assets and decentralised networks through KR1 plc's activities and holdings.
KR1 plc is one of the world’s first publicly listed digital asset company, having been started in March 2016. At the time, the digital asset market was embryonic, as seen on the CoinMarketCap.com screenshot taken on 9 March 2016, a day after embarking on KR1 plc's journey. With Ethereum ("ETH") having only recently been launched and Bitcoin ("BTC") sitting at US$412. Since then, KR1 plc has invested in and contributed to many innovative decentralised networks in the ecosystem.
