Topic: EMX | Trade Futures on Stocks, Bonds, Commodities - page 10. (Read 9142 times)

Just wanted to drop in and say that I personally know one of the members of this project, and he's a sharp guy.  I met him twelve years ago at a programming conference and we've kept in touch since.  This is an exciting project which could be very transformative for trading, and I wish him the best of luck.

Edit: he can post images now.

Imagine using your crypto holdings to trade gold, the Yuan or the S&P 500. EMX gives crypto holders the ability to trade global futures contracts on a single platform--all without the need to convert to fiat. Built by a veteran team of traders, technologists and exchange operators, EMX bridges the crypto and traditional markets to deliver an unparalleled experience.

About the market
The global futures market has revenues of $20B+, trillions in underlying notional, and is ripe for innovation.  
Existing exchanges have high fees, can be difficult to access, and skew markets with price discrimination.
Futures volumes have been increasing for the last ten years -- with Asia leading growth -- but there is a dearth of competition.

About our team
We are technologists and traders from with 10+ years experience each from companies like Amazon, Microsoft, CME Group, and Citi.
Our advisors have built the largest equity dark pools in the world and are managers of notable futures funds.
We are not a fly-by-night operation, but are in this for the long haul.

Platform Features
Access to more assets: Trade crypto and traditional futures, including commodities, equities and currencies.
More opportunities: Don't just buy, sell or hold--go long or short, trade pairs and indexes, or access leverage. With EMX, there's no such thing as a "bear market."
Crypto in, crypto out: Build a diversified portfolio without ever having to exchange into fiat. With the EMX Token, there's no need to switch between tokens or currencies.
Efficient trading: Through the usage of smart contracts, transactions are cleared and settled in just seconds.
Secure and transparent: There's no central custody of assets or information, minimizing the risk of theft, downtime, and trading errors.
A fair structure, for everyone: EMX creates a level playing field for everyone, using a periodic, auction based matching model to eliminate unfair speed advantages.

How we're different
The main difference between us and Augur, Gnosis, and other predictive markets is that we are emphasizing liquidity.
We are also different from current exchanges like Bitmex and OKex in that we have a hybrid exchange model, and we're also offering traditional asset classes (like commodities and equities) on top of cryptocurrency futures.
We also have many connections in the finance world, and will bring these parties as external liquidity providers onto our platform.
In short, we believe we have the team needed to drive significant volume onto this platform from the real world.

Our token sale
Our public token sale is tentatively scheduled for Q3 2018.  Final terms will be announced in coming weeks.
There is a private presale. Please email [email protected] for more information.

Why this is a great opportunity
Our team is experienced and poised to shake up the global financial markets.
We are targeting futures first, but will also look into stocks, options, fx, and more.
In short, our long term plan is to revolutionize every equity and derivative exchange in the world.
This is a big opportunity.
