What’s going on
Bitcoin.com CEO and Bitcoin Cash proponent Rodger Ver announced the plans to created its own cryptocurrency exchange.
“If we build it ourselves, we can do it really, really cheap, and we get exactly what we want,” he said of the firm’s early-stage plans. “But we don’t have the security of a battle-tested exchange that’s been around for a while,” he said in the interview with Bloomberg in Malta.
Providing further details he added that the exchange might be build either internally or in external partnership. It will be hosted on Bitcoin.com, which will allow attracting “thousands or tens of thousands of new users every single day, he added.
