OKEx Adds GBP and THB to its OTC Trading Platform

OKEx, based in Malta, announced this Wednesday morning that it has launched two new currencies on its over-the-counter (OTC) trading platform – Thai baht (THB) and British pound (GBP).
With the launch of the two new currencies, now, users in both Thailand and the United Kingdom can complete the know-your-customer (KYC) verification to be eligible to trade on the OTC trading platform, which is also referred to as a fiat-to-cryptocurrency platform.

Via the OTC trading platform, customers can place orders with their chosen payment method and self-selected exchange rate to buy or sell digital financial assets with fiat currencies.
On the trading platform, customers can now trade the THB and GBP against Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC). In addition, the platform also facilitates global digital assets trading with the Vietnamese Dong (VND) and Chinese Renminbi (CNY) fiat-to-cryptocurrency markets. The exchange plans to add further currencies this year, the statement released today said.

“Because of the increasing trading volume and number of traders in these two countries, we decided to launch the new THB and GBP trading services on our OTC trading platform. Wherever the market potential locates, we will expand to there. In 2019, you can expect more currencies will be supported on OKEx.”
