Tap Global Group PLC, up 28% at 2.75p pence, 12-month range 0.8p-3.4p. The provider of app-based cryptocurrency payment and settlement services launches its institutional bitcoin treasury as a service offering, designed for publicly listed companies adopting bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset.
