“We believe our bespoke customer service for customers will set us apart from other exchanges. To that end, we are not aiming to be a supermart of some sort for customers, rather a platform for customers to venture into alternative asset classes and we want to be there for them every step of the way.”

The ecxx.com platform will be integrated with SmartNation Singapore project, a consent-based identity profile platform for Singaporeans or permanent residents. For non-Singapore residents, the typical KYC process still applies.
