And we’re off 🐎 🐎 You don’t see new physically delivered futures contracts getting listed often in the market. It’s a complicated business with many moving parts. This is the beauty of @abaxx_exchange working with @abaxx_spot and @abaxx_tech @abaxx_labs We can build and deliver market evolving products quickly and efficiently to help manage historic basis risk. Precious Metals pricing is not just about London and New York … we now have viable Asia benchmarks that should be part of any portfolio. To me it’s all about international connectivity. Bringing together the old and new. Evolution not Revolution … maybe a little rebellion 💪 Let’s Go @JoshCrumb @JoeRaia5

Thank you to @straitsfinancia for hosting us at the LME HK dinner last week. They are clearing members of @abaxx_exchange Hong Kong is clearly evolving as a China focused financial centre and an international gateway which will bring many trading opportunities and regional price discovery to the market. The development of Hong Kong as a Gold Hub compliments well with the Singapore kilobar market development. I also look forward to the new @abaxx_exchange physically delivered 1000oz .9999 Silver contract launching soon which should create some excellent arbitrage and risk management connectivity between the regions. It’s all about regional connectivity and basis risk management that will grow the next generation of commodity liquidity and flow. @abaxx_spot @abaxx_tech @abaxx_labs @JoshCrumb

Another update after another full day of institutional investor 1x1s post the 106 target (and blue sky) report. $ABXX On valuation and volumes; I don’t care too much about the revenue number in 2026. This is pilot trading, hasn’t even started yet. Still priming for the main show onboarding and product pipeline. The big volume day spikes are of course encouraging and some days even above our own current expectations, but two things I’d point out from discussions on the calls 1) short/medium term I still focus more on the derisking and node onboarding deeded for full-scale volume and the conservatively ~300mm per year EBITDA that comes with a ~1mm contract per day commodity exchange. The early jump shows that the nameplate “global commodity exchange capacity” is showing signs of utilization, and that number can grow quickly from 30k days to 150k days over next 12mo with more regions, products and bank FCMs (and to the point of the analyst, valuation is still pricing something like 20% chance of success on just LNG and Singapore Gold/PMs…and who the heck has the other 80% chance when we so far have no competitors to scaling these markets…”Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lieutenant Weinberg?”) 2) longer term, and I ended up having this discussion with a few tech investors this week on the back of Agents release, you’re still in the “counting CDs mailed from Netflix days”, not focused on what the Abaxx Network actually is with the clearinghouse, MarketsOS and now Agents . If I may be so audacious, I’m sure Hoffman got super annoyed when all the analysts wanted to know about was CDs mailed the next 12mo (and why they dropped off in April’0*)? The prize is the tech [insert always had been meme] #29ers #PlanYourMineMineYourPlan #WorldBuildersOrBust
Been having some very interesting institutional investor meetings after this report — as has the analyst, from my understanding — especially after calling out that $2,500 per share blue sky number (kudos to the analyst on that btw, having been in a similar seat I know it takes guts to put that in writing). Given the conversations, I’ll spend more time on valuation and the way we think about growth and ‘spendvesting’ allocations on the next call. But a few thoughts on the subject (and please, this is ALL subject to risk causations, forward looking statements, analyst disclosures, etc….we are world-builders-or-bust from the beginning, allocate appropriately, big problems trying to solve, big risk/big potential reward, baja racer emotions till we cross the line, etc): 1) Start with the core signal, there are tons of moving parts, but focus on three basic questions as a foundation: a) Is the business model proven and sound, does management have the experience to execute: obvious yes (and I’ll add that we put together the best global team in commodity market building, we ARE the global-A team even compared to companies 50-100x bigger that we will compete with imo) b) Is Singapore an important emerging global gold hub (especially given geopolitics across rivals NY, Shanghai, Dubai, etc)? Is Abaxx the only futures market, spot market, and most advanced HQLA tech vision? Yup. Ours to lose. Next question. c) Now to the stage-1 flagship, is there an LNG price/benchmark everyone trades on as a standard, or is it up for grabs and what are the alternatives to Abaxx now that its already showing liquidity? …no agreed price, and HHub is not LNG, TTF is not LNG, and billions of people are not going to price their core energy on a reporter surgery of limited information participation…and China doesn’t recognize the ‘Japan Korea’ survey, they are very astute about building new commodity markets — unlike the overly bureaucratic and overly financialized “west” IMO (Abaxx now has much greater than 50% of “winning this estimated $5B asset” imo, and we hope to put the nails in that coffee within the next 12mo). There, forward risk-adjusted valuation justified. Done. Nothing is certain. You want certainty and lower mark to market draw down risk while you manage OPM, buy a bond or an index. You want risk adjusted return, a team hell bent on providing solutions to some of the world biggest challenges, with the best teams to do so, join us. We were “too expensive” for a lot of the street as an “idea” at ~$200mm pre rev (~$12), even though we could have sold our infra for more than that, it was the stupidest asymmetric option in the market and I wasn’t afraid to say it. For those who think $50/$60 is too expensive until we fully prove out benchmark status, just test out how little is for sale between $60 and that $100 price target, because the real money (large and small) that owns this asymmetric option are comfortable with any [hedge-fund driven] draw downs and IMO not willing to sell (just on business model stage 1, and i don’t intend to give up or lose on the larger business model stage 2 that I founded this company on either). $ABXX #29ers #NowWeScale #LetsGetPhysical #MayDay
