Trade.io - the company behind the TIO cryptocurrency - announced today that it is partnering with FXPRIMUS. The partnership will see FXPRIMUS users being able to deposit TIO to their trading accounts.

TIO was launched in October of 2017 by former investment banker Jim Preissler. The Yale graduate created the token as a part of a wider trading platform aimed at investors looking to trade in almost any asset class.

Preissler commented on today’s announcement, stating: "One of our many initiatives is to continue to bring utility to TIO. By offering it as a method of deposit to such an industry leader as FXPRIMUS, will allow TIO Holders to experience the excitement of FX & CFD trading. This development also has the potential to significantly increase the size of the TIO community, as we're exposing TIO to an entirely different asset class."
