Cryptocurrency exchange CCEDK has officially launched Obits, a new currency, that aims to reward holders with a share of its revenues from transactions, referrals plus income from new bourse initiatives. Whilst at the pre-sale stage until a full public launch next month, Obits can be bought with Bitcoin and fiat currencies like US dollars. Ronny Boesing, CEO and founder of Danish exchange CCEDK , announcing the launch of the new Obits token reveals that it will be used to reward holders with a “proportion of revenues from activity” on the exchange. Obits will be hosted on decentralized financial system OpenLedger , which is the de facto BitShares 2.0 platform. Dubbed a “revolutionary fintech platform”, OpenLedger aims to offer the advantages of decentralization and control over balances with the speed and capacity of regular centralized exchanges – claimed as having Nasdaq OMX-like throughput and execution speeds. Specifically, it is run and operated as a collaboration between CCEDK, blockchain experts Cryptonomex and the developers of the Graphene toolkit, upon which the platform is powered.

He contends too: “It’s a token full of great stuff…only rising in value.” […]
