"We have totally re-imagined the role of digital currency, making it convenient, quick and above all, a natural choice.
"We expect that digital currencies will be widely adopted within the next year to 18 months thanks to low volatility and increased trust, larger investment and more widespread use. BinaryFund is the first step in making this possible."
The platform also claimed to be faster than other exchange platforms, which it said can take days to complete digital currency transactions.
