Coinsilium Group Limited: Result of AGM and Statement

Gibraltar, UK, 12 December 2022 - Coinsilium Group Limited (AQSE: COIN) (OTCQB: CINGF), the Web3 investor, advisor, and venture builder hereby announces that at the Annual General Meeting (the "AGM") of the Company held at 9:30am today all resolutions were duly passed.

AGM Chairmans Statement

At the time of the release of Coinsiliums interim results on 30 September 2022, the global digital asset markets were already in the midst of a prolonged downturn, driven in the main by deteriorating global macroeconomic conditions and regulatory concerns and uncertainties, with the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum down by some 58% and 64% respectively on the year. Since then, the news last month of the rapid demise of FTX has dominated the headlines and drawn attention to the industry for all the wrong reasons.

I am pleased to confirm that neither Coinsilium nor any of its investees or advisory clients had any direct exposure to the FTX collapse, however, we do expect the fall-out from this unfortunate event to result in further uncertainties for the broader digital asset markets, at least in the near to medium term.

Whilst the story is still unfolding, from what has come to light so far, the FTX fiasco seems to have been a story of multiple failures in risk management, investors discernment and due diligence, community scrutiny and an overindulgence by certain Silicon Valley funds and their advisors in their backing of young, inexperienced founders who superficially appeared to tick all the right boxes for their purposes.

From some future vantage point, we will no doubt look back at this event as an inflection point for the industry and it is already becoming abundantly clear that there is a pressing need for the implementation of more effective procedures and tools for the monitoring of trading and lending practices of centralised digital asset exchanges.

Whilst blockchain technology has the potential to increase openness and transparency for many industries, it is important to note that the current centralised exchange model relies on traditional financial technology and effectively operates in a black box mode whereby client funds become hard to trace once deposited into an exchanges multiple accounts and wallets. Nevertheless, we expect that this unfortunate event will now trigger an accelerated impetus towards the design and enforcement of better practices for the digital asset industry globally, but this will no doubt take time to happen.

As far as Coinsilium is concerned, as stated in the Companys interim results, the Company ended the first half of the year to 30 June 2022 in a healthy cash position, with over £1.1m cash at bank and approx. £1.3m in crypto treasury reserves (valuations applicable at the time, crypto assets predominantly denominated in BTC and ETH). We continue to manage our resources pragmatically, and our priority is now to ensure that we continue to remain on the right side of this difficult market cycle and that we are ready and prepared to resume the drive for growth when the cycle turns, and more positive market conditions prevail.

In October 2022 we released a Market Update on our Web3 ventures which included a new set of research tools in the form of individual "Web3 Venture Profiles" to provide shareholders with a concise overview on a selection of the ventures we have backed as investors and strategic advisors.

Each of the ventures we have backed has the potential to deliver asymmetrical returns for Coinsilium over time and we would encourage shareholders to take a closer look at each venture by downloading these research tools via the links provided on Coinsilium website: https://coinsilium.com/investors/presentations.

As we head in to 2023, we expect our portfolio of advisory clients to continue to grow steadily, particularly in the metaverse, gaming and Web3 space. And in the light of current market conditions, we will also be conditionally looking to add to our portfolio of investments when favourable terms present themselves and where we see outstanding value and potential.

Finally, on behalf of the board of Coinsilium I would like to wish all our shareholders the compliments of the season and a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. We also look forward to updating the market on some exciting new events and developments for the Company over the course of 2023.

Malcolm Palle - Chairman
