In a statement, the Group divulged its stern interest in integrating blockchain:

So, the firm purchased Ethereum (ETH) to strategically prepare for the initiatives mentioned above. The firm disclosed that the ETH acquired would serve as the transaction expenditure reserve for any potential decentralized applications (DApps) and investments.
