Gatecoin, a Regulated Digital Currency Exchange, Launches Ether Trading

WAN CHAI, Hong Kong - July 24, 2015 - PRLog -- HONG KONG; July 24, 2015 – Traders using Gatecoin’s exchange platform will be able to trade Ether starting next week, Monday, July 27, 2015. CEO and co-founder Aurélien Menant said, “We are very proud to be part of the most ambitious digital currency project to date.”

Gatecoin will open the ETHBTC order book on Monday, on which traders will be able to place bids. Trading will start as soon as transactions will be allowed on the network.

Ether is a necessary element—a fuel—for operating the distributed application software platform that’s being built: Ethereum. The goal of Ethereum is to decentralize everything using blockchain technology. Ethereum seeks to cut out banks, stock exchanges, and even lawyers and replace them with a blockchain, a decentralized ledger of transactions. Individuals or companies will be able to issue “smart” shares or contracts on Ethereum’s blockchain that give a user pre-programmed rights or capabilities.

Gatecoin’s reputation of reliability, safety and professionalism in addition to its easy-to-use online exchange platform provides users globally with comprehensive asset protection. Users’ fiat deposits are kept in segregated client bank accounts, while their digital currencies are stored on a multisig cold wallet and the system is continuously monitored and audited by an external IT security firm.
