- 10% decrease in Total Transaction Volume ("TTV") to $217 million (USD $141 million), down from $242 million (USD $157 million), driven by increased competition, churn of a partner and low exposure to the Solana chain based memecoins
- 6% increase in Gross Profit to $7.0 million (USD $4.5 million), up from $6.6 million (USD $4.3 million), due to growth in Net Take Rate ("NTR") and integration services revenue, this was achieved through strategically optimising our transaction costs and pricing, despite greater competition, together with focusing on closing new integration revenue deals across the quarter
