A mission to make commodities and other assets accessible for crypto users took a big step closer to its ultimate goal on Wednesday, May 15th. Nearly three months after its initial beta launch Singapore-based Virtuse Exchange (VEX) which aims to be a bridge between traditional finance and new crypto markets has started live trading.
This public launch coincides with VIRTU token´s IEO (Initial Exchange Offering), which starts at the time of the launch and will last for 2 months.
Virtuse is about to open the globally-first crypto-commodities platform, and the VIRTU IEO is the first opportunity for the public to participate in the project.
The new venue, which was created by Singapore-based commodity broker Virtuse Group, allows retail and private investors to exchange cryptocurrencies, commodities, and soon equities, and other tradable assets.
Open to everyone, those who pre-register and receive KYC approval will automatically earn 200 VIRTU.
Additionally, the crypto-commodity trading platform will launch an exclusive mining program named Virtuse Dividend Plan from which VIRTU´s holders will benefit in a variety of ways. The Virtuse Exchange’s ecosystem enables its clients to use their VIRTU tokens for staking and earning dividends. That way, the company hopes to attract crypto and commodity traders looking for an easy way to earn and stake tokens.
The platform users will be offering up to 70% rewards for trading fees through the mining program.
Commenting on the public launch, Virtuse CEO, Ras Vasilisin said:
“Traders will have access to cryptocurrency and commodity pairings and access to gold, silver, and oil markets. We are planning to add more features to our platform on the later stages, together with an increased number of listed cryptocurrencies and commodities.”
The Core Innovation
With VEX platform traders and users will be able to invest in major financial assets with an easiness of blockchain using the cryptos as a reserve currency.
For this to happen, VEX uses a synthetic contract called Digital Asset Collateralized Contract (DACC). This contract takes stable coins and pegs it to the value of any investment that the investor might want exposure to.
“This just means that when you are buying $500 worth in gold, you are making use of Tether (USDT) to create the contract. If the price of gold is going up, you will be getting more of USDT. If the price of gold is going to go down, then you will end up with less of USDT,” explains Ras Vasilisin.
This is arguably a huge step forward for 4.5 billion users who have no means to access traditional markets, and could also be assisting the adoption of cryptocurrencies if they can serve as a collateral to investing for new users.
