The Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE) has partnered with Canada-based financial technology (fintech) firm Blockstation for the trading of cryptocurrencies and tokens at the JSE platform. Under the initiative, the JSE will offer trading, execution, quotes, and settlement services for tokens and digital currencies.
According to JSE Director Marlene Street Forrest, they believe that the project will be successful because the Blockstation platform is compliant with regulations, thus, ensuring a fair marketplace.
“We are very comfortable moving forward based on the training and support provided by Blockstation, and because their trading platform incorporates familiar compliance rules to ensure a fair marketplace.”
Other Project Details and Developments
Before the deal was signed, five JSE broker members took part in a live workshop with representatives from Jamaican regulators. Blockstation, meanwhile, has successfully conducted a beta testing of its platform with participating institutions in Jamaica.
The JSE and Blockstation also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), in which they both agree to cooperate again in the future.
