He will help with the construction of the firm’s overseas cryptocurrency mining farms, assess mining machine investments and develop cooperation agreements with global partners to accelerate the growth of its blockchain business.
Investors cheered the move, as evidenced by Future Fintech’s stock price rally witnessed today during premarket trading. Its prospects appear pretty promising, as does its stock price, which has fallen 34.6% this year.
