CEO of the GSX Group, Nick Cowan, was invited to speak at the European Commerce Registers Forum which was held this year at the University of Gibraltar.

Hurray!!! I was invited among the first 300 participants and users of the exchange. I started studying it with pleasure. Now you need to collect the volume of trading pairs and I will look forward to its full opening.
Nice!

The team works very well, I hope in the next two weeks the price of the token will grow.
You are right, the project will be very powerful and will compete with leading exchangers. Expect a large prices is closer to the public launch of the platform. June 15, 2018, 11:51:29 AM

CEO FORTnightly Message - 15/06/18
Dear ROCKers
The last two weeks have, yet again, provided me with much to report and reflect upon:
1. The Digital Asset Exchange Soft Launch
The soft launch is now underway and 300 retail and institutional participants are now online using the Exchange. It’s just the beginning and the feedback has been great so far. So many innovative ideas and new developments for us to process and consider. The soft launch will be running for about another 2 weeks and we encourage you to collect your feedback and get in touch. For those of you that have provided us with comments and feedback, thank you so much. Your input is really important to us and will help us to keep developing the exchange with what you want.
2. Two new Sponsor Firms joined the network
It’s a pleasure to welcome Lightbulb Capital to our Sponsor Firm network. Based in SIngapore and Hong Kong, their knowledge and experience continues to grow the Sponsor Firm network in Asia. Matthew and Dan focus on creating long-term sustainable businesses helping token issuers throughout the entire token sale process.

Pegasus Fintech have been approved as the first North American Sponsor Firm. With decades of experience, the team at Pegasus supports the growth of token issuers’ businesses. As our 12th Sponsor to join the network it’s clear to see the talent joining the team and opening up a whole new region.

3. It’s been another busy two weeks for events
Last week I was invited to speak at the European Commerce Registers Forum (ECRF). It was an interesting event to see how technology, specifically blockchain, is having an impact on the sector.

Philip Young was in Dublin earlier this week for Money Conf. Another big name conference from the Web Summit team.
https://medium.com/@Gibraltar.Blockchain.Exchange/gbx-at-moneyconf-event-dublin-ireland-edfee10dac0b
I joined the team at the Startup Grind Europe conference in the Central Hall in Westminster, London. We hosted a breakout session panel titled, “Gibraltar: The Crypto Harbour for Fintech and Blockchain” alongside Paul Astengo, Senior Executive Gibraltar Finance and Co-Chair of the DLT Working Group and George Mcdonaugh, CEO of KR1.

4. Still out on the road
The next two weeks seem just as busy for the team. We have some events coming up and we want to make sure you know where we are, hopefully so you can come down and meet the team.
On the 21st June we’re in Warsaw, Poland for the BlockchainNext event where Philip Young has been invited to speak.
27-28th June the team will be in Amsterdam for the Global Blockchain Expo event.
If you’re attending make sure you let us know and arrange to meet up with the team on location. We’re always happy to meet FORTs from our community. Keep up with all the latest on our events on our website:

5. Traceto.io public sale is under way.
Just a quick reminder that the Traceto.io public sale is currently underway. The sale is running smoothly, with 89% sold, and if you’re a KYC cleared account holder on the GBX GRID all you need to do is login and you’ll be ready to contribute. For everything you need to know about the T2T sale, check out the link below:
https://medium.com/@Gibraltar.Blockchain.Exchange/everything-you-need-to-know-about-traceto-ios-token-sale-on-the-gbx-grid-updated-cc3ab85392fe
6. STRYKZ Update
Unfortunately, as many of you will know, the STRYKZ sale is no longer happening on the GBX GRID.
Stryking is a German company and it came to our attention that BaFin (the German financial services regulator) has taken a recent stance in respect of overseas crypto platforms, the long and the short of which means that, in order for there to be certainty in respect of the regulatory position, it is well advised to seek confirmation from BaFin that the token in question is not a regulated financial instrument. It should be pointed out that Stryking acting on its own in its token sale faced no such risks. The advice was therefore that using the GBX Grid to launch their token required this clearance, a process that would have probably taken a few weeks. Although we were confident that Stryking could undertake the necessary steps to achieve this, with Stryking's desire to launch the token sale during the World Cup period which is upon us, it was clear that the timing was not going to work.
The GBX, in agreement with Stryking, therefore elected to withdraw from the token sale to unquestionably ensure adherence to German financial product legislation. While we are disappointed that the STRYKZ token sale will no longer take place on the GBX Grid, we will continue to collaborate with the Stryking team as their exciting project develops.
In a perfect world we would have spotted this before but we didn’t - and no-one else did - it’s tough to be aware of all of the pitfalls without stepping into some of them. Our job at GBX and my job as CEO is to deal with these issues as they emerge - identify the problem, ascertain the risks and make the right decision in the best interests of our stakeholders - Issuers, buyers, sponsors and RKT holders - then put in a process to stop it happening in the future. We spotted the issue - we immediately dealt with it. We learn from this. We move on, stronger.
Remember everyone, keep on ROCKing!

When you will list RKT tokens to some other big exchanges? You must provide good volume and liquidity for tokens before launch own exchange 
Wait a bit... Anyway GBX exchange can provide the biggest liquidity for their token in future
I know. But they must trading at other top exchanges as well. They trading at one small exchange and people dont know about them.
June 13, 2018, 11:53:21 PM
Hmm, obviously not lucky with the launch date, the news is absolutely not recoup the market took its direction and there's nothing you can do now, but in any case it's an important moment for the project itself.
The team and product are here for the long term. Look at the performance over years, not days.
June 13, 2018, 12:20:11 PM
I see a lot of good news about the development of the platform, but I do not understand why the token price is not growing. The reason?
I agree. I am also surprised by the price of the token, but I do not sell it and will hold it until the launch of the platform. June 13, 2018, 12:09:50 PM

This previous article contains handful of information about the project by answering everything in details by covering even small aspects that after having a careful read to get all necessary information you need. Soft launch will last 2-3 weeks depends on the feedback which will pass very quickly. That integration in future of both platforms really will be big thing to be able to use same platform as exchange and investing in projects.

This is ice breaking development in regard of launch of GBX_DAX soft launch with reasonable numbers of testers or early participants. I didn't become part of this but I am fully confident as feedback from these participants will begin to be given we will have updates from team based on them. It is remarkable achievement which will open door towards bright future.
Thank you for your kind words and support.
