Jack C. Liu returns to partner with OKEx to launch a Bitcoin SV based exchange

Jack C. Liu, founder of RelayX and previous long time senior executive and current advisor of OK Group, has officially partnered with OKEx to launch Float SV, a BSV based exchange. The exchange is to be built on top of the OKNodes Program and brings his career full circle as he returns to the cryptocurrency giant as a partner; leveraging OKEx’s technology while bringing his own taste and values to the surface.

Float SV will deliver a real asset exchange experience by committing to only list blockchains running Proof of Work SHA256 and real assets such as commodities and currencies. Float SV will not list native tokens of other blockchains nor securities or STOs. A portion of Float exchange revenues will be reinvested into Proof of Work.

The OKNodes Program is a white-label solution provided by OKEx to support aspiring teams to establish their own digital asset exchanges. As an OK Partner, Float will share liquidity, user pool and technical infrastructure with OKEx and help make improvements to OKNode for the benefit of other creative partners.

“I have learned more from Star than can be explained, and it is great to be back leveraging OK’s trusted and scalable exchange infrastructure with which I am very familiar with. Float SV can count on OK’s track record of being a neutral technology platform.” Jack C. Liu, Founder and CEO, Float SV.

“OK Group has consistently delivered the best exchange infrastructure and is dedicated to helping the blockchain industry grow. OKNode already has many successful partner exchanges and I am very glad to work together with Jack again. I wish the Float team well.” Star Xu, Founder and CEO, OK Group

Float SV will launch in April, although the exact timing will be adjusted forward if any major exchange delists Bitcoin (SV).
