2012-01-09: Strong Growth in 2011

We look back to a very successful year 2011, in which VirWoX strengthened its position as the leading independent exchange for trading Linden Dollars.

Compared to 2010, the number of registered users rose by 69%, from 25,664 to 43,388. Trading volume grew even faster, from 3,456 million Linden Dollars in 2010 to 5,896 million Linden Dollars in 2011 (+71%). This is equivalent to about 17 million Euros or 23 million US$.

Our partners also profit from this positive development, as the referral fees paid through our VirWoX Partner Network and Currency Shop Program are growing constantly. Over 7 million Linden Dollars have been paid to our partners in 2011.
