New York, October 28, 2019 – AlphaPoint, a leading blockchain company focused on enabling institutions to launch, scale, and operate digital asset exchanges globally, today announced that AlphaPoint now supports tez (XTZ), the native asset of the Tezos network, for its clients, including depositing, withdrawal, and trading.
AlphaPoint supports over a dozen protocols and hundreds of assets. This integration enables more than 40 AlphaPoint software-powered exchanges to support tez for deposits, withdrawals, and trading with fiat and cryptocurrency pairings. Several exchanges in AlphaPoint’s growing network have piloted support for tez, and already list it for trading. Additionally, AlphaPoint will be delivering sub-token support to power STO exchanges focused on Tezos based security token offerings as a follow-on project.
