– Mr. Cheung, how did the Exchange come about and what do you think about perspectives of token trading?
- We started the Exchange as token-to-token business. We actually have a very strong foundations in Asia. Our mother company is founded in 2014, it is one of the largest foundation in Asia market. We do see the opportunity for token trading.
– How does the Exchange feels about the current market conditions?
- I think – great. Market cap is almost $500 B. We continue to go up, we believe. You can see a lot of new projects for example on Block Show Europe. Upcoming solemn projects comparing to old days when mostly projects were not solemn. We do see a lot of investors, say – users, adopted to not only cryptocurrency but to blockchain technology. So now everyone talks about crypto-blockchain. We just keep continue to be good I believe.
– What about your closest targets, your updates to introduce?
- Yeah, we recently have launched our own utility token, its OKB. Right now it is only on the platform, but we will be on exchanges. And also recent expansion is to Malta. I think everyone have read that news. Globalization is one of the strategies, co-focused for the near future. We’ll do something like this. We will do more in Europe. We have strong foundation in Asia. We haven’t start serving Americas, that’s a huge market. I would say – Europe is upcoming. Why not? Its not much big players here, we do up good trading volumes, good users names. We don’t worry about backing at home, Asia is well established. Then we can go to the western side.
