We expect strong demand as the Dashecosystem continues to grow globally and investors look for a capable and ambitiousBitcoin alternative.”
Whaleclub matches trades internally at no cost to traders. There are noexecutions fees, orders are filled in 1 click instead of tranches (noslippage), and stop and take-profit orders execute at the prices set, reducingrisk and trading costs as compared to a traditional order book exchange.
Whaleclub also accepts Bitcoin as a base currency to cater to a wider array ofusers. Already, 20,000 customers are active on the platform and growth in theAsian market is strong.
Glindro said, “We operate an internal matching model powered by digitalcurrency only. We’re not bogged down by liquidity issues or antiquated fiatprocesses, and this gives us a lot of room to innovate. We are seeing fastadoption in Asia because demand for digital currency is on the rise,particularly in Japan, Korea and China. Dash has shown healthy signs of growthand is starting to command mindshare in Asia. Further internationalizationefforts by the Dash team will likely accelerate that growth because exchangeand trading services will serve as a beachhead for Dash in the Asian market.”
