• World’s first tokenised securities trading platform already
  trades over $26 million per month
• Over 1,000 tokenised securities – including for companies such
  as Apple – now available to trade with Bitcoin, Ethereum or Fiat
• Gives global cryptocurrency investors access to tokenised
  securities of some of the largest and fastest growing companies in
  Greater China including Tencent, China Mobile and HSBC

MINSK, Belarus–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#Bitcoinlt;/agt;–Currency.com, the world’s first tokenised securities exchange, is today
launching to the general public after a well-received beta launch
earlier this year that saw over 150,000 people apply to use
cryptocurrencies to buy and trade tokenised securities.

The launch includes a slick new mobile app that brings a raft of
advanced features and powerful technology to crypto traders, allowing
them to take advantage of the ability to buy and trade tokenised
securities on the go. It also offers a host of new capabilities to
crypto traders that have been long used in the traditional financial
world such as 50% margin close outs and selling at loss.

Currency.com’s full launch makes 1,000 tokenised securities available to
both private and institutional investors across the world*. This is
achieved by tracking the underlying market price of common financial
instruments, such as global equities, indices and commodities. For
example, users can buy a token that mirrors the performance of an Apple
share on the Nasdaq – APPLE.CX – at the same economic costs and benefits
of an Apple share. Users can also buy these tokens directly using
Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), and will have the ability to trade them
on margin.

Currency.com has also expanded trading for tokenised securities listed
on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) with the addition of 146 assets,
such Tencent, China Mobile and HSBC, among others.

The world-first platform already trades over $26 million every month,
confirming a significant demand for democratic access to traditional
finance.

To offer these capabilities, Currency.com leverages the technology of
Capital.com, its sister platform regulated by the FCA and CySEC and has
focused on ensuring a simple, easy-to-use design.

Over 5,000 of the applicants in beta launch made it through the
registration process to access the platform, with the most active
traders providing daily feedback to help ensure Currency.com is the most
powerful and easy-to-use platform possible. As a result, the public
launch today presents a platform that is sleek, tested and designed with
the user experience at heart.

A referral program has also been introduced by Currency.com following
crypto influencer feedback during the beta launch, which encourages
users to invite friends to the platform by sharing 50% of the referred
friend’s trading commission for six months. Commissions are paid on a
weekly basis and offer an interesting incentive to users who have been
enjoying the platform.

Ivan Gowan, CEO of Currency.com, said, “The arrival of tokenised
securities will completely change how investors can use their
cryptocurrencies. Linking crypto to the price of stocks and shares
provides a tangible way for holders of Bitcoin and Ethereum to access
traditional financial markets. Our beta launch proved the appetite is
there globally for a service like this and Currency.com’s full launch
marks a significant shift in the direction of crypto as it becomes more
regulated and starts to move closer towards traditional markets.
I anticipate our mobile app will be a hit among investors due to its
powerful and advanced trading tools that have otherwise been unavailable
to the crypto community.”

“The addition of Hong Kong assets broadens our offering to Asia and
gives global cryptocurrency investors access to tokenised securities of
some of the largest and fastest growing companies in Greater China,”
Gowan added.

Currency.com has
also issued a tokenised version of Belarusian government bonds and plans
to include additional tokenised government and corporate bonds over
time. Thanks to this new feature, Currency.com users
will be able to invest their cryptocurrency holdings in an entirely new,
differentiated asset class that presents the opportunity to hedge and
diversify their portfolios through fixed-income instruments with
potentially lower risk and more predictable returns.

Currency.com will
offer access to issue 252 of the Belarus Currency and Stock Exchange
with a 4.2% per annum yield, with more tokenised bonds being added over
time. The tokens will be denominated in USD and priced at $1,000, which
corresponds to the cost of the underlying bond, but users will also have
the option to buy fractional tokens (representing fractional ownership
of the bond).

*Excluding the USA and those on the FATF
list.
