Summary
The Emirex Group of Companies is headquartered in Dubai, the United Arab
Emirates, and consists of several licensed and regulated legal entities that
meet the challenging demands of the current regulatory landscape in the
blockchain space. The Group was founded in July 2014 as a technology
and advisory provider focusing on digitalization of traditional legacy
businesses by making efficient use of emerging technology such as
blockchain and artificial intelligence.
Over the years the Group advised multiple local and international
corporations, Governments and Regulators, and built successful projects in
the digital assets space.
Digital assets exchange platform for all
In early 2017, having identified a gap in the market that represented a
genuine need, the Group started working on a digital assets exchanger that
allowed users to easily and securely buy and sell cryptocurrencies and
non-security tokens such as protocol, utility, payment and commodity
tokens.
The digital assets exchanger, called Bitcoin Middle East Exchange, or
BitMeEx, was successfully launched in early 2018. Our community of users
in the Middle East and globally quickly recognised the benefits of the simple
and secure interface, particularly because of the service localisation that we
offered.
Trading platform for professionals
In September 2019, we added a professional version of the trading platform
based on the input from our community as well as the lessons that we had
learned from the first stage of the project.
We have also built an investment platform focusing on tokenising securities
such as equity, debt instruments and units in funds, as well as commodities
and other real-world assets.
