GMEX Fusion

Already used by multiple exchanges and custodians in both traditional and hybrid environments accessing distributed ledgers, GMEX Fusion is designed to support multi-cryptocurrency transactions. DAG Global is now using it to execute and settle Bitcoin and Ethereum trades, transferring BTC/ ETH between customer accounts held by the two leading cryptocurrency exchanges, Coinbase and Kraken.

GMEX Fusion uses blockchain technology to offer trading and post-trade digital asset solutions to traders, exchanges, clearing-houses, central securities depositories (CSDs) and custodians.

GMEX Fusion now offers a new approach for supporting these assets in areas such as trading, clearing, settlement, registration, custody, and management of traded cryptocurrencies.

“Our partnership with GMEX guarantees our success in completing live transactions using GMEX Fusion technology on IBM Blockchain Platform.” He added, “This enables us to trade on multiple exchanges and off-exchange over-the-counter (OTC) with consolidation of trading activity and finality of settlement with a single solution.”
