GMO Launches Live Trading PlatformGMO Coin, the crypto subsidiary of Japanese internet giant GMO, announced Wednesday, September 5, the launch a live trading platform.
The company has been offering two crypto exchange and trading services but never had a live trading platform until now. Its two existing services are a brokerage service and a margin trading service. GMO Coin calls the former a “sales office” service and the latter a “virtual currency FX” service. Wednesday’s live platform launch introduces the third service GMO Coin offers.
The company described:
On the exchange, all orders are displayed as board information. Since you can see all the [order] quantities…you can trade while seeing the buying and selling demand of investors other than yourself.
Currently, only BTC is supported on the live trading platform, with a maker fee of 0% and a taker fee of 0.01%. There is no withdrawal fee and leverage of up to 10 times is available. In contrast, GMO Coin’s brokerage and margin services support BTC, ETH, BCH, LTC, and XRP.
