The BTSE Cryptocurrency Exchange

BTSE exchange was co-founded in 2018 by Jonathan Leong, the CEO, and Brian Wong, the Chief Product Officer. Other team members include Joshua Soh (Chief Operating Officer) and Yew Chong Quak (Chief Technical Officer). Together, they created the BTSE ecosystem that offers a one-stop service to crypto traders worldwide. BTSE is the first exchange to introduce Monero (MXR) futures.

The platform witnesses more than $10 million volume worth of transactions as a result of the BTC/USD trading pair. Although the platform has had a low trading volume compared to Binance and Coinbase, it has maintained a low spread of 0.01%. Some of the top features of BTSE include:

• Near-Zero Downtime with its real-time hot upgrades.
• More than one million order requests per second, utilizing an institutional-grade matching engine.
• 99.9 % of all the funds are in cold storage, maintained with BTSE’s top security and unlimited daily withdrawals.
  

BTSE introduces institutional-grade crypto trading to the cryptocurrency industry. It acts as a go-between for the traditional financial system and digital assets of tomorrow. It is a platform that traders develop for both traders and savers. Some of the services provided by BTSE include asset management, OTC, lending, Defi, exchange, etc.

How Traders and Savers will Benefit from BTSE Earn Feature

Crypto asset traders and savers stand to gain a lot from the BTSE Earn. The flexible option that BTSE Earn introduces will allow users to unstake whenever they feel like it. Also, it will enable traders to earn interest on their idle assets. However, locked asset deposits mandate that tokens be staked for an extended period. The extended time for staked tokens offers a higher annual percentage yield (APY).

Users are not required to pay any deposit fee, and there is no minimum benchmark for deposits. The compatible cryptos include USD-pegged stablecoin Tether, USD Coin (USDC) and True USD (TUSD), and BTC and ETH. Users start to earn interest with BTSE Earn on their staked assets once they have determined the time period

Conclusion

The BTSE Earn feature will certainly attract more users to the platform and increase liquidity. This is a welcome development, but BTSE needs to incorporate additional features to compete favorably in the crypto exchange market.
