Эти средства будут использованы для расширения бизнеса на рынках Северной Америки, Азии и Ближнего Востока, а также для усиления инфраструктуры хранения цифровых активов и токенизации активов.RQD в основном предоставляет услуги клиринга и хранения для брокеров, инвестиционных консультантов и зарубежных финансовых учреждений на американском рынке, отвечая за ключевые этапы, такие как расчет по ценным бумагам и средствам, управление рисками и т.д.
