BTCC launches cryptocurrency only exchange with ETC/BTC as first asset

BTCC, the Chinese company behind the longest-running bitcoin exchange, today introduced its first pure cryptocurrency exchange BTCC DAX. The exchange allows customers to exchange their bitcoins for ethereum classic and other cryptocurrencies, and vice-versa.

The first trading pair available on BTCC DAX at the launch today is ETC/BTC.

The introduction of ethereum classic comes after BTCC’s chief executive officer Bobby Lee created a stir on Twitter in May by asking the cryptocurrency community to vote on which digital currency BTCC should list next. Ethereum classic won the two-week vote.

BTCC plans to list new cryptocurrencies on DAX in the coming weeks. The next currency to be listed on DAX will be ethereum (ETH), which will be introduced during the week of July 3rd, 2017.

BTCC DAX will start accepting customer deposits on Monday, June 26th, 2017, at 10:00 AM (UTC). Trading goes live on Tuesday, June 27th, 2017, at 10:00 AM (UTC).
