Locus Chain Foundation Set to Launch Digital Asset Exchange Platform in Dubai

Singapore-headquartered Locus Chain Foundation, the developers of a next-generation blockchain protocol, announced on Wednesday it will launch an innovative digital asset exchange platform, Locus DAX in Dubai, during the first quarter of 2019.

According to Locus Chain Foundation, Locus DAX will allow users to buy, sell and trade digital currencies including major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Locus Token (Locus Chain’s own digital currency). The exchange will also provide interoperability with financial accounts, allowing users to purchase cryptocurrencies with fiat currencies such as USD and AED. While sharing more details, Sheikha Moaza Obaid Suhail Al Maktoum, Co-Founder of Locus DAX and Senior Advisor to Locus Chain, stated,

“Strategically located between Africa, Asia and Europe, Dubai sits at the international crossroads of business and investment and is fast becoming the region’s digital exchange hub. We expect to attract investors from around the region as well as internationally, as innovations in blockchain continue to capture keen interest from governments and private businesses. When you also factor in the liquidity of the GCC, we are confident that Locus DAX is uniquely positioned to serve this growing space, to quickly become a globally ranked exchange.”

Sang Yoon Lee, CEO of Locus Chain and Co-Founder of Locus DAX, also commented:

“The UAE’s Blockchain Strategy 2021 is more ambitious than any other country’s in embedding blockchain technology within the public sphere. We believe launching Locus DAX in Dubai reinforces Dubai’s reputation as one of the world’s leading financial centers while giving us the opportunity to be at one of the critical intersections of technology, commerce and investment.”

Locus Chain Foundation went on to add that the Locus DAX announcement comes on the heels of more than 40 agreements entered into with organizations and governments of different countries to implement Locus Chain’s blockchain technology and digital currency, such as Tunisia Economic City and Uganda’s Eco City, as well as projects with other African countries including the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, and Mauritius.
