Coinsquare, the largest Canadian bitcoin exchange, has acquired the decentralized StellarX exchange. The deal became a natural continuation of the BlockEQ XLM purse purchase in December 2018.
The StellarX Exchange is built on the Stellar protocol and offers users peer-to-peer trading in a number of cryptocurrencies and even some fiat pairs.
Note that the site does not provide custodial services and does not have access to the means of users.
Coinsquare intends to request a license for StellarX from the regulators of Bermuda. The position of CEO of the platform will be taken by the head of BlockEQ, Megha Bambra.
From here, StellarX will continue along the roadmap we announced last Fall, led by a dedicated team at Coinsquare of developers and designers who will make StellarX into the product we know it can be. StellarX will continue to operate and grow under its own brand. [...] To fulfill its potential, StellarX needs a home with regulatory experience and with a full-scope plan to build around the app. Coinsquare is the perfect fit.
