Crypto exchange
Gemini is expanding to Australia, according to a blog
post
by company Co-founder and CEO Tyler Winklevoss. Austrlians can now download the
Gemini Mobile App to buy, sell and trade Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC) and Zcash (ZEC). An excerpt from
the blog post reads:
Australia is currently ranked 12th globally for bitcoin
trading volume and we are optimistic that Gemini will help encourage broader
adoption for crypto in Australia. Today, Gemini is available in a total of 49
U.S. states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, South
Korea, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
BNN
Bloomberg
reports that Derebit, a crypto options and futures exchange, has partnered with
institutional messaging service Paradigm to launch bulk-derivatives trading.
Derebit, which is based in Amsterdam, trades in Bitcoin and Ethereum futures
and options. According to the report:
Deribit has set a minimum size for its block trades at
40 Bitcoin and 800 Ether, or approximately $400,000 and $150,000, for options
contracts tied to those digital currencies, according to Deribit Chief
Executive Officer John Jansen. Ten of the largest crypto trading firms have
signed up to the service.
South Korean blockchain
firm Blocko has raised 9 billion won in a Series B funding round, according to
an announcement today. CoinDesk reports that this
recent funding round brings the firm’s total to around $20 million USD. Blocko
is working to develop business-focussed blockchain services. The firm told
CoinDesk in May that it had introduced a platform called Argo Enterprise aimed
at “growing need for data sharing between industries and companies in areas
such as identity verification, document management, and the Internet of
Things”. In the recent press release Blocko CEO Kim Won-beom said:
“We will transfer existing deployment cases to the Argo
Enterprise base and discover new business models to solidify our foundation as
a general-purpose platform. I'm preparing.”
Swiss
Info
reports that Swiss bank Maerki Baumann is embracing blockchain to overcome
challenges presented by traditional banking models. Once the Zurich-based
private bank made it known that it was interested in crypto, it saw a flood of
interest from new clients, according to CEO Stephan Zwahlen.
“We suddenly had 400 people wanting to talk with us. And
they were exactly the kind people we had been struggling to access for 10 years
with traditional private banking offerings. We found that they were typically
between 30 to 40 years old, very well educated and with an entrepreneurial
mindset.”
