DigitalX generated revenues of approximately US$3.6m from corporate advisory fees received in tokens, US$10k related to DigitalX Direct referral fees which will be received during the January 2018 Quarter.

Business Activities

ICO Market

During the quarter, the Company secured a number of corporate advisory engagements to provide Blockchain consulting services to Initial Coin Offerings ( ICO ). The Company provided a range of industry-specific and traditional corporate advisory services in return for fees.

As announced on 4 October 2017, the Company had been engaged as an advisor to Blockchain energy trading company Power Ledger for its ICO. In consideration for the Company’s strategic advice, it was offered a hybrid remuneration of ETH and POWR tokens. Due to the high level of demand for the ICO, DigitalX elected to receive the entire consideration in POWR tokens resulting in the issue of approximately net 4.5 million POWR tokens (valued at approximately US8c/POWR at the end of the Quarter) to DigitalX after expenses.

On 30 November 2017, the Company announced it acted as the corporate advisor to SingularityNET, a decentralised, open market for Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms for the sale of 500 million tokens raising up to US$36 million. DigitalX will receive approximately 0.8% of the 1 billion AGI tokens in the project for marketing and promotional services, plus additional fees for introducing the SingularityNET project to DigitalX’s cryptocurrency investor

network across Australia. DigitalX expects to receive net 5M AGI tokens during the current quarter (valued at $0.10 as at 31 December 2017).

In addition, DigitalX was engaged by BitCar, an exotic car ownership platform that combines two of the best performing asset classes, cryptocurrency and exotic cars, for corporate advisory services ahead of its ICO. DigitalX will receive approximately 4 million tokens in the project for corporate advisory services and additional fees for introducing the project to the Company’s network.

DigitalX further announced on 4 December 2017 that it had been appointed corporate advisor for the ICO for direct-order grocery platform INS Ecosystem, and online poker game platform CoinPoker.

INS Ecosystem aims to disrupt the $8.5 trillion global grocery market by creating a platform in which consumers can purchase goods directly from manufacturers in an efficient and affordable manner. INS Ecosystem targeted a sale of 30 million INS tokens. DigitalX received 250,000 tokens in consideration for corporate advisory services provided with 125,000 of these INS tokens to be distributed over the next three months (valued at US$2.52 as at 31 December 2017).

CoinPoker, a platform for online poker games to ensure provably fair and true gaming will issue 375 million chips (CHP) tokens to the market to fast track its vision as the official currency for CoinPoker. DigitalX will receive a corporate advisory fee of 7.5 million CHP tokens plus additional fees of approximately $40,000 in ETH for advisory services and introductions to its network.

Bankera, a digital bank for the Blockchain industry has come a long way since the first launch of the pre-ICO and has now raised over 90 million euros from nearly 70,000 contributors, making it the largest ICO in relation to number of contributors and in the top 10 biggest ICOs according to the amount raised. Bankera has has three main focus areas, IT infrastructure, licenses, and capital and the co-founders announced last week the acquisition of the Pacific Private Bank based in Vanuatu.[1]

Corporate Overview

Capital Structure Changes

During the quarter, the Company issued the following securities:

  • 4,550,000 fully paid ordinary shares as approved by shareholders;

  • 63,562,501 fully paid ordinary shares on conversion of unlisted options;

  • 3,703,704 fully paid ordinary shares on conversion of convertible notes;

  • 2,000,000 unlisted options as approved by shareholders;

  • Post Quarter Events

On 9 January 2018, the Company issued a further 281,914 fully paid ordinary shares on conversion of unlisted options.

Outlook

DigitalX cemented its position as the world’s leading publicly listed ICO advisor to close out 2017. The combination of the highest quality technical talent, industry experience, investor and exchange network, marketing partners and compliance focus has proven to be a valuable addition to projects looking to launch their own digital asset.

In addition to advising some of the most exciting Blockchain projects during their ICO, DigitalX is aiming to broaden the scope of its advisory services to provide Blockchain strategy to companies and organisations. As such, DigitalX is scheduled to facilitate workshops with ThinkPlace, one of the largest strategic design consultancies globally, to realise the adoption of blockchain technology with public and private sector organisations.

Due to significant demand from investors, DigitalX is actively reviewing the funds management space and will provide an update to the market on this in due course.

Market making activities during the quarter were limited due to a longer than expected compliance and risk review on exchanges and demands on the Company’s technical staff. The Company has begun market making on the ACX and NCX exchange in Australia and expects to ramp up this activity going forward with trading scripts now implemented.

DigitalX has conducted a review of the IP associated with the AirPocket application and is actively reviewing opportunities to direct the software at emerging markets in the cryptocurrency and blockchain spaces. The Company sees potential for developing the blockchain transactions and identity management software underlying AirPocket, and will soon release plans for further development and commercialisation of AirPocket.
