Conducting Final Launch Check

The day is just over the horizon! Beaxy Exchange plans to commence full operation during the week of Consensus 2019, providing you with cutting edge technology never before seen in the crypto space. Featuring an unmatched user experience that is both powerful and elegant, Beaxy will be the all-in-one cryptocurrency exchange containing the tools and resources capable of supporting traders of every experience level.

OneMarketData & Beaxy’s Matching Engine

Beaxy’s exclusive partnership with OneMarketData is our competitive crown jewel. OneMarketData has decades of experience providing well-established financial institutions — like the NYSE and Bloomberg — with market data and matching engine solutions through their flagship software, OneTick. They now bring their expertise to the crypto industry for the first time to produce Beaxy’s matching engine which will result in faster transaction times, unique and advanced order types, and an overall smoother flow in order books.

For a small taste of the power that this partnership puts at your fingertips right from the start, look no further than Binance — currently the world’s #1 exchange by volume. One glance at their order types and you will see your order type options are limited to Limit orders, Market orders, and Stop-Limit orders.

Not exactly a robust selection.

This may be sufficient if you are looking for basic trading functionality, but users that trade professionally will want a greater degree of control over the orders they can place and the conditions that may trigger other actions.

“This platform is set to offer us crypto trading services that are on par with the quality of service offered by world class stock exchanges.” — Ross Dubin, SVP Global Head of Sales, OneMarketData

Because OneMarketData has built our matching engine on top of their existing software, implementing advanced order types is easy. Beaxy will roll out 9 different order types on day one(iceberg order type not pictured but will be available), with 20+ order types being available for use soon after. No other cryptocurrency exchange will have access to this technology.

That’s more like it!

Not sure how to use these advanced order types? No worries! Beaxy will provide a first-class knowledge base, that will breakdown every single component of the exchange in the simplest way possible. Even if you have no prior knowledge or experience trading in crypto (or at all!) we want you to be able to jump in and find the relevant information you’ll need to get started and be a successful trader. These resources will be accompanied by a YouTube video series posted to our official YouTube channel that will walk users through many aspects of using the exchange.
