Diginex Limited, a digital assets financial services company, today announced record total volumes of over US$1 billion in April month to date, with average daily volumes during the period increasing over three times compared to average daily volumes in the prior month.
The volume increase is driven by the launch of EQUOS’ first native exchange token, EQUOS Origin (EQO) and a significant increase in participation by a number of major institutional clients. Following the launch of the token on April 8, EQUOS has recorded daily volumes in excess of US$100 million.
Since launch, EQUOS has evolved from a spot only exchange, launching Bitcoin Perpetuals in January 2021, followed by ETH Perpetuals and additional coins last month, before launching EQO in April.
