We are pleased to give this update from an announcement made today by Block Trade Exchange Limited (“BTX”) to provide more details on the workings of the Exchange and the proposed commencement date.

A spokesperson from BTX today said, “The Exchange project has been a very challenging and rewarding one with BTX built to be accessible through the Qoin wallet, creating a unique, bespoke product. We are happy with the progress of the development and are pleased to confirm that BTX should be open for trading in the week commencing 30 November 2020. BTX will make a further announcement soon as to the exact time of opening.”

Tony Wiese, Director of the Qoin Association commented, “There has been so much achieved in such a short time. The Association has seen the  Qoin community grow to over 25,000 wallet holders including 15,000 validated merchants. After launching in Australia and New Zealand we have seen so many merchants and consumers already grasp the value of Qoin as a utility currency and transacting within the community. The development of the BTX exchange over the past 6 months has been a wonderful project and the Association is confident that it will present a great user experience for all who visit.”
