“I am delighted to announce GEM as Velas’ new strategic partner. The size and scale of the financing they are committing to is a clear indicator of the confidence institutional players have in the potential of our technology, the skills of our team, and the robustness of our business model. 

This financing facility will boost our ability to introduce innovative technologies and solutions to the global marketplace, taking us into new markets and sectors. It will allow us to expand our ecosystem and improve the blockchain itself, expanding the number of users who can benefit from our cutting-edge approach.

This partnership would have been impossible without the hard work and commitment of many people behind the scenes at both Velas and GEM. I would like to thank both teams for the diligence, commitment and professionalism that has helped deliver this ground breaking deal.

At Velas we are driven by a shared belief that opening up access to new technologies has the potential to benefit businesses, communities, and the planet. This significant investment will not just make a difference to our own business, but it will also benefit our customers worldwide.”
