According to CoinDesk, the encrypted derivatives trading platform Ankex will start Alpha testing this week, providing perpetual futures contract services in markets outside the United States, supporting Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB contracts during the test period, and accepting USDC as collateral assets. Ankex CEO Michael Moro said that after three months of Alpha testing, the exchange will add Metamask and Fireblocks. Currently, Ankex has about 17,000 users waiting for testing. It is currently registered and licensed in the British Virgin Islands, and plans to UAE and Dubai are regulated. Foresight News noted that Ankex, a new cryptocurrency derivatives exchange incubated by crypto custody technology company Qredo, hired former Genesis Global Capital CEO Michael Moro as CEO in April this year.
