CEO Torbjørn Bull Jenssen comments:
"Arcane has not gone unaffected by the rough market last quarter - we have seen significant declines in retail trading volumes as everyone, and our mining was out most of the quarter due to exceptionally high energy prices. However, we have successfully relocated our mining operations to ensure they remain profitable, and our fund managers have succeeded in ensuring that the Arcane Fund continues to outperform bitcoin. We've also seen sustained interest in our research, with increased traction, new partnerships and steady user growth on the new platform.
The first version of the Invest application was recently launched and we are now preparing launch of the Trading application later this year."
