M-DAQ enters the European market with a prestigious pilot project with the Warsaw Stock Exchange
SINGAPORE, May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — M-DAQ was awarded a milestone pilot with the Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) in Europe, to co-develop a proof of concept that will allow investors to track and potentially trade real-time prices of WIG20 and mWIG40 stocks in 10 different currencies. With this innovative solution, GPW seeks to help brokerage firms and international investors manage their Polish/European portfolios more efficiently, while broadening their investor base for companies listed on GPW.
