XRP is a globally traded token and by joining the GBX-DAX it further extends its liquidity and reach,” said Nick Cowan, Managing Director and Founder of GSX (Gibraltar Stock Exchange) Group Limited.

GBX receives a license from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission

The addition of XRP follows a number of changes on the GBX, which was launched by the Gibraltar Stock Exchange in February of 2018 with an ICO, through which it raised $27 million.

As Finance Magnates reported in November last year, the exchange was granted a full license from the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. According to the statement released at the time, by securing the license, the Gibraltar Stock Exchange is the first national stock exchange to own a regulated cryptocurrency exchange.

“...following this, we introduced insurance coverage for assets listed on the GBX-DAX. As we move into 2019, we plan to build on this momentum with new digital assets listed on the GBX-DAX, with Ripple as the first of these new tokens,” added Cowan.
