IronFX Group, the global multi-regulated foreign-exchange trading provider, is ‎launching a cryptocurrency exchange in collaboration with EmurgoHK ‎Group, a Hong Kong-based Blockchain accelerator and creator of the ‎Cardano Blockchain and the ADA Coin.‎

The new crypto venue, called the IronX Exchange, will operate as a regulated, ‎service-focused, exchange that ‎facilitates funding via both fiat and Cryptocurrencies , Finance Magnates has learned.

Beyond the functionality, the firm says the partnership will combine‎ EmurgoHK’s ‎blockchain experience with IronFX’s existing regulatory ‎and operational practices, processes and solutions.

In addition, IronX Exchange will allow the FX broker to provide real operating company ‎functions including back-office, risk management, account management, ‎payment, and banking solutions.‎

According to IronFX, this existing ‎accumulated experience will be used as a ‎bridge facilitating this process of moving positions from ‎cryptocurrencies trading into traditional online trading‏.‏

Integration with traditional trading

The IronX Exchange's ecosystem will allow its clients to use ‎their crypto accounts and digital assets to migrate or move (partially or fully) positions into the ‎IronFX’s platform. That way, the company hopes to attract traders looking for an easy way to switch between crypto and traditional asset classes.

The IronX Exchange has also commenced a private token sale by 'Invitation only' to launch its ‎own IRX tokens and develop the platform further. The pre-sale for this‎ private token event opened on June 4, 2018, with 200,000,000 tokens ‎expected to be offered during the pre-sale phase, out of an expected 500,000,000 tokens. Each token’s price will be ‎‎$0.33.

The website of IronX Exchange further explains that “Holders of IRX coins will also benefit in a variety of ways. Based on holding ‎levels, they will be entitled to additional services and incentives. Another such ‎benefit is the issuance of discounts on spread paid in IRX tokens ‎to IronX traders who use their crypto funds to open a trading account with ‎the IronFX Group.‎”
