Dear Pundians,
As we finally wrap up the tumultuous year that was 2020, it’s probably safe to say that quite a lot has changed.
With the numerous disruptions to business brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, Pundi X has kicked off a number of initiatives designed not only to help our partners weather this unprecedented crisis but to also continue our work in bringing cryptocurrency and blockchain to the mainstream. After all, we see 2020 as the year of mass adoption, with institutional investors acquiring cryptocurrency and world governments imposing regulations, initiating their own digital currency and going through greater lengths to ensure anti-money laundering (AML) compliance.
Indeed, it’s this year that Pundi X set up online shops and expanded XPOS on various online e-commerce platforms, including NewEgg Business in the USA and Amazon in Japan. Thus, this theme of expansion and development in the face of crisis can be seen as the year progressed. Of course, a lot of the progress Pundi X was able to make was thanks to the plethora of talented people and companies we are able to work with through 2020.

Q4 2020 — Q2 2021 Road Map has been published earlier in July. We have summarized the goals completed and the ones in progress.
Also, Function X roadmap and progress has been updated and released in mid December.
Despite the challenges that have cropped up, we are proud to look back at the progress that was made in 2020. The upgrades made this year — whether with regards to compliance or an upgraded user experience — will surely ensure the flexibility of XPOS and other projects.
Thus, it’s safe to say that in 2021, we will continue our mission and will have more integration with various traditional payment businesses to enable more adoptions.
Until then, we’d like to take this opportunity once more to thank everyone who’s been a part of our 2020 journey. We know it couldn’t have been easy, so we promise to continue serving you with the same passion that you’ve come to expect from the Pundi X team.
Stay safe and have a very Happy New Year!
