“We have to create a bridge between financial services and technology,” Adam White, the general manager of Coinbase International, stated. “In order to do that, we need to pull from some of the best and brightest minds that have worked their whole careers in other kinds of traditional financial firms.”
Mr. White stated that the exchange has continued to grow despite declining trade volume due to increased institutional investment in the sector, stating: “When we saw the market begin to correct, which we all expected, institutions didn’t lose interest. It was exactly the opposite. They look at it as an opportunity to enter when things are not too frothy.”
The chief executive officer of EF Hutton, Christopher Daniels, said: “We are building a unique fintech infrastructure in Arizona that encompasses a large number of brokers and advisors. Acex membership structure benefits every Member firm – all of whom benefit directly from the growth of Acex.”
At launch, Acex will support BCH, BTC, ETH, LTC, BTG, ETC, OMG, EOS, DASH, TRX, XMR, VEN, IOTA, ZEC, and TUSD, and plans to list initial coin offerings next year.
The co-founder of Digitfinex, Kiana Shek, stated: ”I simply don’t believe in Tether,” adding: that she had been “looking for ways to get rid of USDT” for months.
Digifinex will first launch TUSD pairings for BTC, ETH, and USDT, with the number of pairings expected to grow as USDT is phased out across the platform.
