The GXToken — GXT · ERC-20

Your passport to the GXOS.

100,000,000 GXT · the native token of the world's first Exchange Operating System

(01) — The thesisSource — GX deck, 2018

Currently the world has siloed digital assets into a set of closed exchanges which discriminate based on asset class. Global X Change set out to connect them — one operating system for every exchange, every asset and every trader. The future of financial communication.

(02) — Current way vs #GX way

No.

Current way

#GX way

01
Siloed platforms with little interoperability
Integrate any exchange API into state-of-the-art trading terminals
02
No time value for investors' long-term capital
Earn interest on passive capital through decentralized money markets
03
Investment management is cumbersome and ineffective
Launch and manage a fund through your very own IFO™
