The digital currency and decentralized finance (DeFi) industry and the companies within it may have been stonewalled by regulators in the past, but the tides are slowly turning. Russia and Hong Kong are the latest governments to propose plans to license crypto exchanges, signaling a major shift happening within the financial sector as digital currencies become a more significant factor in the global investment landscape. Changing regulations bode well for companies like INX Digital Company , Galaxy Digital , DeFi Technologies Inc. , Voyager Digital , and Coinbase , which are launching products with regulatory approval and stringent guidelines in mind in order to avoid regulatory obstacles.

Newly listed blockchain-based platform owner INX Digital Company is continuing to work towards its vision to be the preferred global regulated hub for digital assets on the blockchain.
Last July, INX made history by listing the world’s first SEC-Registered digital security following the successful INX Token IPO in April, which raised gross proceeds of $83.6 million from over 7,2500 retail and institutional investors. The company subsequently announced the purchase of a FINRA and SEC registered broker/dealer and ATS now called INX Securities and reduced its trading fees on the ATS significantly, from 2.5% down to only 0.2% for all digital securities.
“This listing of our proprietary digital security, blockchain trading, makes history. Blockchain securities are the future, and INX is leading the way,” said Shy Datika, co-founder and CEO of INX. “In my opinion, securities trading fees digital values have been at ridiculously high levels in this space. For digital values to gain true acceptance, they need to be accessible to everyone, at low fees.”
Since then, INX has opened its cryptocurrency trading platform to the public, finalized its acquisition of Openfinance Securities (now called INX Securities) and acquired interdealer broker ILS Brokers, which has $5 billion monthly volume. The company is also entering the booming non-fungible token (NFT) market through a partnership with Entoro Capital LLC, a leading investment bank for investments and alternative assets to list NFTs offered as securities on the INX Securities ATS.
