BnkToTheFuture Buys Altcoin.io DEX to Launch STO Exchange
- Non-custodial exchanges like Altcoin.io have become quite popular as it allows for a higher degree of anonymity and security.

Fintech investment platform BnkToTheFuture has acquired Altcoin.io, a San Diego-based cryptocurrency decentralized exchange.
BnkToTheFuture, which is based in Hong Kong and facilitates investments in fintech and Blockchain Blockchain Blockchain comprises a digital network of blocks with a comprehensive ledger of transactions made in a cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin or other altcoins.One of the signature features of blockchain is that it is maintained across more than one computer. The ledger can be public or private (permissioned.) In this sense, blockchain is immune to the manipulation of data making it not only open but verifiable. Because a blockchain is stored across a network of computers, it is very difficult to tamper with. The Evolution of BlockchainBlockchain was originally invented by an individual or group of people under the name of Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008. The purpose of blockchain was originally to serve as the public transaction ledger of Bitcoin, the world’s first cryptocurrency.In particular, bundles of transaction data, called “blocks”, are added to the ledger in a chronological fashion, forming a “chain.” These blocks include things like date, time, dollar amount, and (in some cases) the public addresses of the sender and the receiver.The computers responsible for upholding a blockchain network are called “nodes.” These nodes carry out the duties necessary to confirm the transactions and add them to the ledger. In exchange for their work, the nodes receive rewards in the form of crypto tokens.By storing data via a peer-to-peer network (P2P), blockchain controls for a wide range of risks that are traditionally inherent with data being held centrally.Of note, P2P blockchain networks lack centralized points of vulnerability. Consequently, hackers cannot exploit these networks via normalized means nor does the network possess a central failure point.In order to hack or alter a blockchain’s ledger, more than half of the nodes must be compromised. Looking ahead, blockchain technology is an area of extensive research across multiple industries, including financial services and payments, among others.

Non-custodial exchanges like Altcoin.io are also an option for the crypto community and have become quite popular as the environment allows for a higher degree of anonymity and security.
“Altcoin.io has an impressive list of technological achievements under their belt, but what set them apart was their commitment to working in tandem with this dynamic regulatory landscape,” said Simon Dixon, CEO of BnkToTheFuture.
BnkToTheFuture intends to utilize Altcoin.io’s technical experience and regulatory approval to capture the growing security tokens market while allowing users to exchange crypto assets peer-to-peer (P2P). The company operates as an investment hub for industry startups and says it has backed big firms like Coinbase, Circle, BitStamp, BitFinex, Shapeshift, Ripple Labs, Kraken, among many others.
Decentralized platforms gain traction
To date, BnkToTheFuture claims to have raised more than $750 million through funding rounds for 120 different fintech companies. The company spent its first few years based in London then relocated to Hong Kong in 2015 and is currently registered with the Cayman Islands monetary authority.
With the rising limitations of the centralized crypto exchanges, many old blockchain players are now developing decentralized platforms to cope up with the market competition. Major players have earlier launched native decentralized platforms and were joined by many market counterparts.
However, the picture is not always rosy. One example was the launch of Waves DEX last year when hackers hijacked both the exchange website and the company’s main site to phish for users’ personal wallet information.
