Dear 4E users, as 2024 comes to a close, in this hopeful moment of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, 4E extends its sincerest greetings and New Year wishes to everyone! On this occasion, we reflect on the past year's performance and look forward to the development blueprint for the future.
2024 is a landmark year for the cryptocurrency industry. This year, the launch of Bitcoin ETFs, the halving event, the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts, and Trump's election victory have collectively outlined the main thread of industry development and driven Bitcoin prices to historic highs of $100,000.
For 4E, this year is also filled with opportunities and breakthroughs. Looking back at 2024, we achieved rapid business growth and significant enhancement of global influence through a diversified product matrix and active market expansion, also contributing to the prosperity of the industry.
Comprehensive upgrade of one-stop trading ecosystem.
In the past year, 4E has closely followed market trends, continuously introducing popular assets and new trading tools. We successfully launched spot and derivative trading for over 600 types of assets, covering various fields including cryptocurrency, forex, stocks, commodities, and index trading.
At the same time, we have successively developed features such as copy trading, wealth management, strategy trading, lending, and simulation trading, continuously optimizing and improving the risk control system and trading process, making the multi-layered trading system increasingly mature. A platform that connects global assets and a single account that achieves one-click global investment enriches users' investment choices and ensures that the platform remains at the forefront of the industry.
In addition to deepening trading services, we are also continuously strengthening our payment capabilities. We have successfully partnered with two major international payment giants, Mastercard and Visa, to launch the 4E financial card, bringing a convenient payment experience to global users, striving to integrate cryptocurrency asset payments into daily life.
Daily trading volume exceeds $1 billion, with average trading volume exceeding 1 BTC.
The diversified product strategy not only enhances users' freedom of choice but also strengthens the platform's market competitiveness. Over the past year, we have achieved significant growth across various key indicators.
Currently, we have covered over 20 countries and regions worldwide, with over 1.2 million registered users, daily trading volume surpassing $1 billion, and the platform's risk protection fund exceeding $130 million. Since the beginning of this year, daily average customer activity has increased by 39.2%, with the average trading volume exceeding 1 BTC.
It is particularly noteworthy that among our over one million users, more than 73% are both forex and cryptocurrency users, demonstrating a high level of recognition and reliance on the platform's diversified products. This has directly driven a 154% surge in our forex business transaction volume, making it the preferred platform for an increasing number of forex traders. With rapidly rising data across various metrics, we triumphed at the WIKI FINANCE EXPO BANGKOK 2024, winning the 'Best Forex Trading Platform' award.
Meanwhile, the excellent user experience and market reputation are fermenting into a powerful social network effect. In the past year, over 7,984 people invited friends to register on the platform, and 51% of users actively participated in platform activities through a series of social media initiatives and trading competitions, distributing platform rewards exceeding $20 million, reflecting the continuous rise in user stickiness and participation.
Our star business—copy trading has also grown against the trend. Currently, over 18,000 people have engaged in copy trading on 4E, earning profits exceeding 2,600,000+. We have not only achieved growth in cryptocurrency business but also continued to innovate and break through, launching several industry-first features, such as copy trading models for forex, commodities, and stock index assets.
The share of overseas markets has exceeded half, with significant increases in market shares in Southeast Asia and South America.
In terms of global market expansion, our internationalization efforts are steadily advancing. This year, the share of overseas markets in our platform's user structure has risen to 55.9%, especially in Vietnamese and Thai regions where user growth rates have exceeded 41%. The 4E APP once ranked number one in the Vietnam App Store download chart, becoming one of the most popular cryptocurrency trading platforms locally, with Thailand following closely behind, surpassing 150,000 local users, yielding fruitful results in the Southeast Asian market.
Additionally, taking advantage of the Copa América event, 4E has shone brightly in the South American market. We partnered with AFA to launch a series of online and offline activities, sparking a trading frenzy in the South American community, with hundreds of thousands of users competing for prizes, including 50 signed jerseys, 30 tickets, and exclusive Copa América prizes for 10 lucky users to enjoy a dinner with AFA, significantly enhancing 4E's visibility and market share in the region.
Promoting the popularization of global financial transactions.
At 4E, our vision extends beyond business; we hope to create a profound impact on the industry and society. Our goal is to lead and accelerate the popularization of global financial transactions.
At the beginning of this year, we earned the trust of the Argentine national football team, becoming its designated trading platform and establishing a global partnership, with football stars like Martínez, De Paul, and Di María endorsing 4E.
Meanwhile, leveraging the Copa América opportunity, we specially planned and implemented an exclusive Copa América ticket giveaway in collaboration with the Argentine Football Association (AFA), combining the passion for football with the charm of cryptocurrency technology. Riding on the wave of Copa América, we successfully introduced Web 3.0 to billions of global viewers, sowing the seeds of cryptocurrency awareness both inside and outside the stadium, deepening the public's understanding and acceptance of the industry.
We also spare no effort at international industry conferences. We became a platinum sponsor of Token2049, establishing close cooperation with top global blockchain projects, investment institutions, and industry experts, contributing wisdom and strength to the future development of the blockchain industry.
For instance, in Vietnam, we successfully hosted one of the largest and most influential events in the local cryptocurrency industry. The attendance of Argentine football star Verón added glamour to the summit, attracting extensive coverage from 31 official and mainstream media outlets in Vietnam, further popularizing cryptocurrency in Southeast Asia and paving the way for mass adoption.
We firmly believe that the younger generation will have a tremendous impact on this industry in the future. Over the year, 4E successfully held more than 10 offline summits and large community events, providing young people with opportunities to gain in-depth understanding of blockchain technology, attracting over 1 million global users for active participation and interaction, nurturing a group of industry enthusiasts and practitioners, injecting continual momentum into the global dissemination of cryptocurrency.
Conclusion: Grateful for the journey, looking forward to extraordinary achievements together.
As 2024 comes to a close, we reflect on this year with gratitude. For the cryptocurrency industry, this year is destined to be historic, with Bitcoin reaching $100,000 marking a watershed moment for the industry. For the 4E platform, this is also a significant period of growth and breakthrough, and we have achieved a series of accomplishments we are proud of. We sincerely thank every user who chooses and trusts 4E.
All that has passed is prologue. As we face the approaching year of 2025, we will continue to uphold the principles of safety and user-first, continuously enhancing the security and stability of the trading system to ensure smooth transactions for users; increasing investment in product development, launching more products and services that cater to diverse user needs; expanding global strategic operations to serve every user in need around the world; and strengthening the 4E brand's presence in the global financial sector to enhance brand influence and promote industry development.
With the acceleration of the bull market, we believe that 2025 will be an even more exciting year for both builders and investors. The bull market does not signal a peak; let us look forward to the new year's industry development and create extraordinary achievements together!
