Adding multiple support for digital assets

With the new suit, GMEX Fusion is now offering support to digital assets in a wide area of services including trading, clearing, settlement, registration, custody, and management of traded cryptocurrencies.

Built on Hyperledger Fabric, IBM Blockchain Platform provides a secure platform to build, govern, operate, and grow blockchain networks, with the ability to deploy components in multiple clouds or on-premise environments.

For GMEX Fusion, IBM’s blockchain manages digital assets that represent multiple types of financial instruments simultaneously, along with inter-bank message flows to facilitate settlement downstream, and exchange messaging upstream.

“We are delighted to collaborate with IBM to power our market-leading GMEX Fusion and provide an institutional solution which satisfies the growing demands for digitally enabled market infrastructure fit for regulated environments,” Hirander Misra, CEO of GMEX Group and Chairman GMEX Technologies, added.

“This is a unique industry approach as it will enable multiple pools of liquidity to connect with multiple custodians with a single aggregated trading, clearing and settlement solution”
