Dear BitShares Community,
We,
Blockchain Projects BV, are proud to announce the initiation of listing the BitShares core token BTS with the
Lykke exchange.
Contact to the Lykke team was established November 2017 and we have been negotiating since then to get BTS listed. We are in the process of completing the technical work as we speak. The BitShares Blockchain Foundation (BBF)
was involved between Blockchain Projects BV and Lykke to get the required legal confirmation to list BTS, which was necessary since Lykke provides a direct FIAT on- and off-ramp. The BBF will continue to provide technical and economical descriptions to Lykke’s legal council in the next goal to explore the possibility of listing BitShares price-stable SmartCoins (e.g. bitUSD, bitEUR, see
http://www.bitshares.foundation/smartcoins).
We see great benefits for the BitShares community and want to summarize the impact of the Lykke integration:
- A FIAT on/off ramp for BTS without the need for Bitcoin
- A potential FIAT on/off ramp for the price-stable SmartCoins
Thanks to Lykke, the integration module that is being developed for the listing, called
Bexi - BitShares Exchange Integration API,
will be open source and made available after the development is completed, reviewed and tested by Blockchain Projects BV.
Blockchain Projects BV
