Trade Tokenized Stocks With CryptoEstonia-based venue DX Exchange is set to launch trading on the tokenized stocks of some of the biggest public companies in the world, such as Google, Facebook and Amazon, on Jan. 7, 2019.

(previously named Spotoption Exchange Ltd) is a Cyprus licensed financial company which provides liquidity solutions for the online trading market.

The platform also supports trading via an API, which means it can be easily integrated with market makers, liquidity providers, algo traders, and hedge funds.
