Crypto Service Tap Global Becomes First 2023 Listing on UK Stock Exchange

UK crypto app Tap Global has become the first 2023 listing on the Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE), according to a press release from the company. The listing was accomplished through a reverse takeover by Quetzal Capital, according to a press release on Jan. 10.

Tap provides fiat banking services, a crypto swap service that sources crypto from partner exchanges, and access to staking and DeFi protocols to UK and EU residents. The app is regulated as a bank by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.

Quetzal acquired the company by trading £20.5 million ($24.9 million) of its own stock to Tap Global shareholders in exchange for ownership, and it raised another £3.1 million ($3.8 million) by issuing new shares. The cash raised from these additional shares will be used to “increase marketing spend and drive international expansion,” according to the press release.
