Miami, FL – September 7, 2022 – ShiftPixy, Inc. (NASDAQ: PIXY) (“ShiftPixy” or “the Company”), a Florida-based national staffing enterprise which designs, manages, and sells access to a disruptive, revolutionary platform that facilitates employment in the rapidly growing Gig Economy, today announced that it has begun the application process to dual list its shares on Upstream, the revolutionary trading app for digital securities and NFTs powered by Horizon Fintex (“Horizon”) and MERJ Exchange Limited (“MERJ”).
The planned dual listing on Upstream is designed to provide ShiftPixy the opportunity to access a global, digital-first investor base that can trade using USDC digital currency along with credit, debit, PayPal, and USD, unlocking liquidity and enhancing price discovery while globalizing the opportunity to invest in NASDAQ-listed ShiftPixy.
Commenting on the application to list on Upstream, Scott W. Absher, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ShiftPixy, said, “We continually seek to leverage cutting-edge capabilities in all we do, and we envision a dual-listing on Upstream providing ShiftPixy with the very latest approach in terms of access to worldwide capital markets and the technology to reach countless potential new investors who can learn about our many exciting growth-oriented endeavors.”
Approval to be listed on Upstream is subject to acceptance by MERJ. However, as an existing NASDAQ issuer, the listing standards to which ShiftPixy adheres are sufficient to comply with MERJ Listing Rules, including but not limited to disclosure, filing and notification requirements.
