BlockEx, the provider of digital asset exchange platform, has added former JP Morgan executive and hedge fund board member Roger Ohan to its adviser team.
His focus will be to help BlockEx understand how to best position its products for more traditional financial market participants.
Ohan says: "I am impressed by how much the BlockEx team have developed so far, and I am pleased to join to help them roll out their solutions to users across the world."
BlockEx combines the regulatory framework and governance of traditional finance, with the efficiencies of blockchain. Its Digital Asset Exchange Platform (DAxP) is an institutional grade exchange with blockchain asset origination, dematerialisation and lifecycle management tools. It includes a digital asset creation tool, exchange, clearing, settlement, registry and brokerage software. Traders can trade fiat crypto pairs, and other high quality digital assets, like ICO tokens. Currently, BlockEx is launching their ICO for the BlockEx ICO Market. Part of the DAxP, the ICO Market will allow users to list and participate in compliant, high quality ICOs. BlockEx's token, the DAXT, can be used to guarantee an allocation of tokens during ICO pre-sales hosted on their platform. Participants in the ICO Market will be provided with a constant flow of highly vetted ICOs.
BlockEx is positioning itself as a bridge between the financial services industry, and the new world of blockchain.
