New ViaBTC exchange for using Bitcoin cash as a basic trading pair

   311

The basic cryptocurrency exchange will be bitcoin cash, which was ramified from the main bitcoin blockchain at the beginning of this year. CoinEx, which was registered on December 4 in accordance with public bids, will offer trading pairs for bitcoin, litecoin and ethereum, among others, ViaBTC said.

The Chinese mining pool previously led the exchange in the most populous country in the world, shutting it down after regulators switched to a ban on trading of cryptocurrency in the country. The mining pool was an early supporter of bitcoin cash, and its earlier exchange offered services around the cryptocurrency.

Now, the company is creating a store in the U.K., having teased the launch at the end of November in social networks. Future plans include support for margin trading, as well as contracts with derivatives, linked to cryptocurrencies. The firm is also developing an over-the-counter trading platform.
