22 February 2022 — GCEX, an FCA regulated digital brokerage that enables brokers, funds and professional traders to access deep liquidity in digital assets and FX has opened an office in Kuala Lumpur.
The expansion into Malaysia enables GCEX to strengthen its 24/7 coverage and enhances its service for its rapidly growing client base in Asia. The first team member in operations has already joined the firm, with four additional hires planned by May 2022.
Lars Holst, Founder and CEO, GCEX, says, “Expanding our global footprint into Asia is a significant development for GCEX and a key milestone in our growth strategy. We selected Kuala Lumpur as our Asia hub as we believe it is one of the Fintech capitals of Asia, with a strong pool of talent for us to access as we grow the business.
“The investment we received from True Global Ventures (TGV4 Plus) is helping to fuel our expansion, enabling us to capitalise on the growing demand we are seeing for our modular end-to-end plug and play trading platform for digital assets and FX.”
GCEX is headquartered in London, with offices in Scotland and Denmark. Its office in Copenhagen, which opened in September 2021, already has a team of six people.
