British Overseas Territory Gibraltar has opened up the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange (GBX) to the public after a soft launch on June 4 that saw 300 participants gain early access to the exchange.
The GBX Digital Asset Exchange platform is now live with 6 cryptocurrencies - Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Rock Token (RKT), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Ethereum Classic (ETC) - available for trading on the exchange.
The exchange has also provided the option of using fiat currency and fund their account in US dollar. RKT/USD, ETH/USD and BTC/USD trading pairs will be available to all users.
GBX is offering everybody who has already signed up and any new users who sign up before August 17 a benefit of Zero-Fee Trading until September 14, 2018. It has also set up a prize pool of one million RKT for its exclusive trading competition for users.
GBX, a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX), aims to be a world's first licensed and regulated token sale platform and digital asset exchange that is operated by a European Union (EU) regulated stock exchange.
The GBX is expected to benefit from Gibraltar's Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Regulatory Framework which came into effect on January 1, 2018.
The GSX had announced plans to launch GBX at the BlockShow Asia conference in November 2017.
