DigitalX Limited (ASX: DCC) (the “Company” or “DigitalX”) today announced its quarterly report for the quarter ended 30 June 2016.

The Company’s expansion into the global payments market with its blockchain based AirPocket App is gaining traction at a time when quarterly revenue from its bitcoin trading operations has hit a record high in the three months ending 30 June, 2016. More details are included below.

Operational Overview

AirPocket

DigitalX’s money transfer application AirPocket was officially launched on Google Play and the Apple App store in June. The launch of the App will be accompanied by the kick-off of a multi-channel marketing campaign across the United States and Latin America.

The campaign is leveraging DigitalX’s partnership with global telecommunications giant Telefónica International S.A.U. (Telefónica) and includes a direct SMS campaign to more than 230 million Telefónica mobile devices. The SMS campaign will ramp up after DigitalX has optimised the marketing message through the initial phase of SMS marketing messages to small groups of Telefónica subscribers.

DigitalX is also running a tandem marketing campaign that is targeting consumers in the United States and Latin America through multiple social media platforms including Facebook, Google, Instagram and Twitter. The company will update the market on the campaign, including key statistics in the September 2016 quarter.

Trading Activity

After a quiet start to the year, trading activity reached record levels over the quarter with total revenue breaking above $16 million, an increase of 185% over the previous quarter. Revenues have been steadily rising every month and June’s revenue of $6.4 million marks the 5th consecutive month of growth for this business segment.

Trading has been an essential part of the business, generating positive returns, and concluding the year profitable.

The stronger revenue is the result of strong interest in bitcoins in the face of global economic uncertainty that is headlined by global events such as “Brexit”. Other factors driving interest in the digital currency include an increased US Investor base and volatile global currencies stemming from central banks use of aggressive monetary policies.

Corporate Overview

Summary of Working Capital Position

DigitalX Ltd had total working capital including net receivables of $US2.0m at the end of the June Quarter.

The cash burn over the quarter was due to the development of AirPocket, and losses from the mining operations. The mining operations have now ceased, and the company expects a lower operating cash burn in future quarters.

Outlook

The last quarter of the financial year has set the Company up for a strong start to FY17. Following the announcement of Telefónica as a strategic partner, DigitalX continues to pursue opportunities with a number of other strategic partners across the US and Latin America for the AirPocket App.

The Company is in the final stages of negotiations with other global companies in the telecommunications and remittance industries who are interested in using AirPocket for payments and funds transfers.

On the trading front, the Company believes that interest in bitcoin will continue over the medium term at least due to the macro economic climate and the reduction in the supply of bitcoins. This bodes well for DigitalX’s trading business and will drive further interest in the blockchain.

DigitalX’s Chief Executive Officer, Alex Karis, commented: “We are starting to make significant inroads into the payment and cash transfer space with AirPocket as the industry acknowledges the key benefits of our blockchain based solution. There simply isn’t anything in the market that can match the security, cost and universal acceptance of the blockchain, and this is why DigitalX is well placed to become the gold standard for the industry.”
