Bolt Global History

CEO and Executive Director Jamal Hassim previously invested, restructured, launched, and operated various television and radio networks across the world. This has included the TV5 Group in the Philippines, SPH Group in Singapore, JakTV in Indonesia, and the Media Prima Group across Malaysia and Africa.

CTO and Executive Director Christel Quek previously served as Head of Content at Twitter (International Markets), Vice-President of Asia-Pacific at Brandwatch, and Head of Marketing at Zilliqa. Christel was also nominated as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree.

We launched Bolt+ during the 2019 Cricket World Cup. Following this, we launched our pilot digital asset wallet, Pegasus, in the same year. It supported the Bitcoin, Ethereum and Zilliqa blockchains. Pegasus was re-launched as BoltX in 2021 as a self-custody NFT and Digital Asset Wallet. BoltX included support for other blockchain protocols, including Polygon and Binance Smart Chain. BoltX was also released as a web-extension that can be used across Google Chrome, Opera, and Brave, and was integrated into Zilliqa’s decentralized exchange, ZilSwap.

In 2019 we listed our utility-based digital token, BOLT, on Bitmax (now AscendEx) and KuCoin. The Bolt token is used as a utility token within the Bolt Global ecosystem, where holders are able to tip content creators and participate in a staking program within the BoltX Digital Asset and NFT wallet.
