EQONEX is the first crypto ecosystem to be listed on Nasdaq. It provides a full product range of digital financial services including exchange, custody, asset management, investment products, and borrowing & lending.
The EQONEX exchange is unique among crypto exchanges. It does not make markets on its own platform, a practice which effectively means that customers are being traded against by the very platform they are trading on. The exchange also offers its own native token, EQO, of which only 21 million will ever be issued, over a limited period. EQO provides daily staking rewards, regular airdrops and can be bought on the platform, or earned through trading. These exclusive EQO holder benefits, reduce trading costs, making EQONEX a highly accretive cryptocurrency venue.
Joining the marketing team are Adam Dance, as Head of Strategy and Product Marketing. Mr. Dance will focus on customer segmentation and activation, working to identify business opportunities, partnerships and campaigns to drive customer acquisition with a specific focus on growing our customer base on the EQONEX exchange.
