BlockEx offers a platform that "manages the entire lifecycle of blockchain based digital assets, including origination, issuance, exchange, settlement and redemption," according to its website.

BlockEx aims to make ICO marketing easier by standardising it through its new service, BlockEx Markets, which is an online open marketplace for buying a variety of asset classes, including ICOs. The blurb on the website says: "We will proactively manage the information being published by the issuers so that it is reliable, and information on multiple ICOs is viewable on one centralised platform."

Back in September, we reported on BlockEx becoming a corporate member of the Wall Street Blockchain Alliance, a non-profit trade association.
In May, BlockEx partnered with law firm Winston & Strawn to create standardised templates to streamline the process of issuing bonds. At the time, CEO Adam Leonard said: “We have received a lot of interest from SMEs who have been excluded from capital markets because the costs of going through a bond issuance are too high.
