We're very pleased to collaborate with an industry leader like Simplex to bring valuable crypto services to users worldwide," says Jack Nguyen, Director of Infinito. After Simplex, Infinito Wallet plans to integrate with regional fiat gateway and exchange services to better serve local users in Southeast Asia.

A special focus will also be put on attracting innovation and technology companies in line with the Government's policy objectives," he added.

2019 Annual Results: Highlights

The 487 companies came from 48 economies. Mainland China continued to lead with 120 companies, followed by the US (71), the UK (43), Japan (27) and France (25). There were 29 companies from Association of Southeast Asian Nations economies.
