Apex Clearing clearing company launches 4 cryptocurrency trading

The American clearing company Apex Clearing and its affiliate cryptocurrency investment firm Apex Crypto have launched a new platform for trading digital assets.

According to a press release, the new platform is designed for broker-dealers and financial advisers. Over 5 million current Apex Clearing customers will be able to access a platform that supports the trading of the four main cryptocurrencies: BTC, BCH, ETH and LTC.

Investors will be able to freely open new cryptocurrency trading accounts “within a few minutes.” The press release focuses on high bandwidth and scalability of the new platform, and also argues that Apex systems allow you to open tens of thousands of accounts in one day.

Initially, the platform will be available to investors in 40 states of the United States and the District of Columbia. After obtaining approval from regulators, the service will be launched in other states. Note that Apex Clearing, owned by the American financial services company PEAK6 Investments LLC, is registered with SEC and FINRA.

Apex Clearing CEO stated that the company seeks to “radically change” the views of investors and enterprises on their finances:

“Our integration with Apex Crypto helps financial firms provide their clients with an optimized way to invest in a wider range of asset classes in such a way that they are part of their other investment portfolio.”

Note that more and more traditional companies are exploring the possibility of trading in cryptoactive assets. It was reported this week that the fifth ETP on the Bitwise 10 cryptocurrency index was launched on the Swiss SIX exchange.
