Technology can not only level the playing field in financial services by democratising access and making it more inclusive, but also transform the experience into one more seamless and efficient. With this in mind, Amber Group wants to shake things up and help its clients – institutional and retail alike – build for long term, in a sustainable fashion.
The journey from start-up to unicorn took Amber Group less than three years. The company’s founder and CEO Michael Wu explains how its customer-centric ethos drove their hypergrowth success.
As traditional investing shifts to include digital assets like crypto and NFTs, so has the demographic of investors. Amber Group’s managing partner Annabelle Huang highlights the main trends, and how its platform WhaleFin Club is following suit.
When FTX collapsed late last year, the industry’s future was questioned – but the fast-evolving crypto industry is already demonstrating its resilience. With Bitcoin and Ether rebounding and the Hong Kong Web3 Festival taking place in April this year, the future is already looking bright.
The mission to empower its clients to build digital wealth for the long term is what guides Amber Group's specialised product and service development. Driven by this customer-centric ethos, the company offers a set of digital finance tools, such as its flagship digital asset platform, WhaleFin to suit investor needs.
Despite facing significant challenges in 2021—FTX filing for bankruptcy and high-profile cyber hacks and scams causing disintegrating trust—the cryptocurrency market has shown remarkable resilience. Recent trading volumes suggest that the industry is poised for a strong recovery, and experts believe that this trend will continue in the foreseeable future.
