Zoomex X Space Recap With David James and the World Cup Trading Panel

Zoomex hosted the third episode of its World Cup Edition X Space as part of the Zoomex World Cup Impact Pledge, bringing together England goalkeeper David James and a panel of traders: Crypto Kid, Farouk Bashar, and Theo Mercier.
