Globitex has begun operations by offering a Euro-Bitcoin exchange product (XBTEUR), with an aim to expand fiat and cryptocurrency offering in the near future. Algorithmic trading is fully supported by FIX and REST API interfaces.

The team has been developing the product for the past three years with the goal of providing a more professional trading environment for institutional traders. As a startup, since early 2014 the project was self-seeded by the founders and in 2015 raised the first venture capital funding. The round was carried out by a group of private investors lead by an entrepreneur and venture capitalist Viesturs Tamužs. The company has raised more than EUR 900,000 to date.

“The Globitex team have built a solid exchange product, which is set to prove itself as a reliable service provider in this exciting and fast-paced cryptocurrency industry”, admits Viesturs Tamuzs. 

The current Beta release offers to trade at 0% commission and is expected to run with this pricing until public launch. Deposits and withdrawals are available via SEPA and SWIFT.
