Likewise, Jim Stonebridge, the CEO of OpenFinance, highlighted that INX and OpenFinance share the same vision of providing a safe and regulated ecosystem for listing and trading of digital assets.
Stonebridge said:
“We believe that regulatory oversight, combined with liquidity, will make digital assets the financial instrument of choice for companies and investors seeking to access and raise capital.”
Thus, the latest news comes amidst the INX’s ongoing initial public offering (IPO) registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
