GBX stands for the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange, which is a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange (GSX). The GBX looks to become a world-leading token sale platform (and digital asset exchange) operated by a regulated stock exchange belonging to the European Union. By using a rules-based system, the exchange aims to apply for a license by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission under Distributed Ledger Technology Providers, which was established starting 2018.
The blockchain-based exchange has an upcoming ICO and has already published the whitepaper. Due to the length and technical aspect of the said document, we shall provide here a summary for those interested in investing on the platform.
According to the Whitepaper, the GBX is expected to mean:
- A globalised listing and token sales springboard dedicated to utility tokens.
- A digital asset exchange with a marketplace where traders and investors can participate, along with utility token issuers, with trust thanks to a listing where every token has been approved by an institutional grade process.
The GSX has the intention to develop a stock exchange system that is fully tokenised and aims to provide a way for listing initial token sales to give the opportunity of issuing tokenised securities to a broader audience.
