What this means is that companies can now list their security tokens on the exchange and institutional investors can purchase these tokens using fiat currencies, Bitcoin, ether, tether, and XRP.

In the future the company will roll out its own token. However, to start with, only one such token will be listed on DX.Exchange – its native IGWT token. As for the native token, 18 million IGWT will be offered in a closed security token offering (STO) for a limited time, and afterward, 10 percent of the company’s profits will be regularly distributed to the token holders, DX.Exchange pledged.

This tokenization has many benefits but the strongest is the ability to help create wealth for people all over the world no matter their social economic situation.”
