4E Platform One Year Anniversary: A Thank You Letter from the CEO

Dear 4E Users,

4E has been online for one year. Looking back over the past year, we have gone from 0 to 1, experiencing countless challenges while also achieving many breakthroughs. From a nascent dream to gradually making a mark in the global market, every step of 4E's growth has been supported and trusted by each user and partner. For this, I am deeply grateful.

Empowering Finance for the Public

We have always held a belief that entrepreneurship is not just about building a commercial company, but also about making a profound impact on the industry and society. In this process, we firmly believe that financial technology and cryptocurrency will create a fairer future world, and the key force driving social progress lies in financial empowerment—providing better tools and resources for everyone.

However, in the market, traditional financial assets such as stocks, foreign exchange, and commodities exist in a relatively disconnected world from emerging assets like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Users often need to navigate multiple platforms, which not only increases the complexity and cost of trading but may also lead to missed valuable trading opportunities due to information asymmetry. We deeply realize that this situation severely hinders the process of financial inclusion, preventing many from enjoying convenient and efficient financial services.

With the simple vision of "empowering finance for the public," the journey of 4E began. A core team composed of members from the cryptocurrency industry and traditional financial institutions came together to create a platform that is Empowering, Enriching, Evolving, and Exchanging. This is the origin of the name "4E" and serves as our guiding principle to remain true to our original intention.

As 4E passionately embarked on this journey, it coincided with a downturn in the industry. Every challenge—whether market skepticism, technical difficulties, or funding shortages—ultimately became a sharpening stone for us. Because we clearly understand that what users need is a safer and better trading platform, we have always believed that as long as we truly prioritize the users' interests, they will reciprocate with goodwill and support. It is these arduous yet rewarding experiences that have forged the resilient spirit at the core of the 4E team.

After more than a year of dedicated research and development, we launched 4E, covering trading products such as cryptocurrencies (spot/contract), foreign exchange, stocks, indices, and commodities, in September 2023, officially announcing our arrival to the world as a global one-stop financial trading platform.

Achievements and Milestones

A year ago, we had only a small space and a handful of people, harboring dreams of breaking the boundaries of traditional finance, hoping to make diverse financial products accessible to users worldwide. To this end, we continuously broke through technical barriers, optimized trading processes, and improved risk control systems to ensure efficient and secure trading. Today, a year later, with reliable technology, strict security standards, a rich variety of products, and excellent user service, we have gradually gained user recognition, and 4E has become a bridge connecting global assets.

In the past year, we have achieved a series of exciting accomplishments:

• Innovative Products: We launched over 600 asset trading options, covering multiple markets including cryptocurrencies, foreign exchange, commodities, and stock indices, enriching users' investment choices and ensuring the platform remains at the forefront of the industry.
• New Features: Driven by user suggestions and needs, we developed features such as copy trading, wealth management, strategy trading, lending, demo accounts, and financial cards, further enhancing user experience.
• User Growth: Currently, the 4E platform supports 18 languages, covering over 20 countries and regions globally, with registered users exceeding 1.2 million. Behind this number is the trust and support of countless users.
• Trading Data: We witnessed a single-day contract trading volume exceeding 350M+, with over 100,000 users participating in contract copy trading, and derivative trading volume climbing to over 4.2 billion.
• Zero Security Incidents: The 4E trading system has withstood significant market tests, maintaining zero errors, zero downtime, and zero security incidents since its launch, ensuring 100% safety of user assets.
• $100 Million Risk Protection Fund: To address potential extreme unforeseen events, 4E has established a $100 million risk protection fund, adding another layer of security for user assets.
• Brand Building: 4E has formed a global strategic partnership with the Argentina national team and has become a platinum sponsor of Token2049, winning the "Best Forex Trading Platform" award at the WikiEXPO Thailand exhibition. These further enhance our brand influence.
• Community Engagement: We successfully held over 10 offline summits, attracting more than 1 million global users for active participation and interaction, with our KOL influence index ranking among the top ten in the broader Asia-Pacific region.
• International Strategy: The 4E platform is rapidly expanding in the Southeast Asian market, especially in Vietnam, where the 4E APP ranks first in the local App Store download charts, marking an important achievement of our international strategy.

The achievements of this year are gratifying, but we are well aware that all of this stems from the trust of our users. Here, I would like to extend my special thanks to every user for their support and trust in the 4E platform. Your trust is the driving force behind our continuous innovation and surpassing ourselves. Although the road ahead remains full of challenges, as long as we keep user-centricity as our core value and always take user needs as the foundation of all our work, I firmly believe that 4E will continue to grow and thrive, and one day it will become the preferred trading platform for users worldwide.

Looking Ahead

The first anniversary of 4E is not only a celebration of past achievements but also a starting point for a new journey. This is the best time to lay the foundation and prepare for the next stage of development. We firmly believe that financial technology and Web3 technology will change our lives, and 4E will continue to optimize risk control and liquidity, consistently launching more products and features centered around safety and user-friendliness, keeping pace with industry trends to introduce more high-quality global assets, and further developing and improving our ecosystem to bring tangible value to users. We will also adopt a more open attitude to explore new cooperation models with global partners, contributing 4E's wisdom to the development and progress of the industry.

On the occasion of 4E's first anniversary, we sincerely invite global users to participate in 4E's Anniversary Celebration Activities. With generous rewards and rich activities, we look forward to sharing joy with you at this special moment. Meanwhile, we will appear as a platinum sponsor at the Token2049 Singapore conference starting on September 18. This grand event is an important platform for us to collaborate with global peers to discuss the future trends of blockchain technology. We will set up a dedicated booth at the exhibition, offering autographed jerseys from the entire AFA team, luggage, power banks, and other generous peripheral prizes, showcasing the latest financial innovation products. We welcome everyone to come and engage with us.

Finally, thank you once again for the support and trust of every 4E user, and I sincerely wish you abundant rewards in the days to come!

Sincere thanks and best wishes,

4E CEO
