Consequently, the JSE has signed an MOU paving the way for further collaboration. After a comprehensive, global search for the most suitable online trading system to meet rising demand for digital asset investing, the JSE chose Blockstation’s end-to-end, electronic communication network and order management system to facilitate trading, clearing and settlement of blockchain tokens for its broker-dealers and their investing clients. Through this agreement, JSE may become one of the first international stock exchanges to deploy an online digital currency and token-trading platform, including trading, quotes, execution and settlement services, in a format that aligns with current regulatory and compliance standards. A live workshop was successfully completed with an initial group of five broker members and representatives from local regulators. Blockstation also previously completed successful beta tests in Jamaica with participating institutions. “We are excited to implement this service with our clients, satisfying considerable investor interest in digital assets. We are also proud to be at the forefront of bringing innovation to capital markets,” said Marlene Street Forrest, Managing Director of the JSE. “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.” “It is very important for investors to be able to invest in digital assets through their traditional financial institutions,” said Kirk Brown, Head Trader for Sagicor Investments, a broker member of the JSE. “It’s exciting to be at the cutting edge where digital currency demand meets safe reliable access”.
