The Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange has undergone its official full launch to the public this week having launched its official token earlier this year. The launch of its Digital Asset Exchange has been hailed by the GBX team as the next stage in the evolution of its own GBX ecosystem and a step on the road to its “planned large scale adoption of crypto and institutional investment in crypto assets.”

The GBX Digital Asset Exchange is now accessible to those members of the public who have undergone a thorough KYC process, and GBX users will also have the option to onboard using fiat currency; at present, USD onboarding is available to customers with BTC, ETH and RKT (the GBX Rock Token). It is planned to have more fiat currencies incorporated into the exchange in the near future.

The option to onboard with fiat currency means that the GBX Digital Asset Exchange can help people who are looking to enter the crypto-space but who are unsure where to find an entry point and be able to purchase a reputable cryptocurrency on a trusted platform.

This official launch of the GBX follows a soft launch in June this year, during which early access period 300 participants were introduced to the exchange. The feedback given by these early access members on their experience of using the exchange was used to inform the final developments of the platform, leading to the development of an updated user interface and creating an optimised trader experience.

Set apart from most of its competitors by its robust and regulated listing process, the GBX network can proudly boast 15 sponsor firms from all over the world. Sponsor Firms are responsible for introducing pre-vetted token sale projects to the GBX. In this way and through ensuring compliance with Gibraltar’s thorough regulatory system, the GBX can ensure that only quality tokens are accepted and enter its ecosystem. The upshot of the public launch, which opens up this rapidly growing trading platform, is that the GBX can now bring token sale projects from inception through the token sale and all the way to listing on the exchange.

Giving tribute to the hard work and effort from the team at GBX, Nick Cowan,CEO, confirmed the GBX’s plans for growth and continuing development, saying: “We have made concerted efforts to ensure that upon our public launch, the GBX would host a number of leading cryptocurrencies and tokens to ensure utility for the trading community. We are already looking forward to making significant additions to this offering in the future as we continue to make sustained progress in offering users the most comprehensive trading options possible. As a part of our continued work towards facilitating greater cryptocurrency trading accessibility and reliability, we shall be launching the official GBX mobile application in the near future, bringing a world-class Digital Asset Exchange to the fingertips of our community of users.”(https://gbx.gi)

Buoyed by Gibraltar’s world-leading regulatory system and the jurisdiction’s support for entrepreneurship in the digital world, the GBX is clearly heading from strength to strength.
