DGX Added to BitGo
With an increase in demand for cryptocurrency to be pegged to the value of gold, BitGo recently announced that it has added support for DGX along with an Enterprise Access.
The DGX is a token that is backed by 99.99 percent gold cast bars from London Bullion Market Association-approved refiners. One token equals one gram of gold. Singapore-based Digix sells DGX, which are redeemable for gold in well-established vaults in the country.
BitGo — a high-security multi-sig wallet, processes 15 percent of the world’s Bitcoin transactions. This is estimated to be about $15 billion worth of cryptocurrency processed on a monthly basis. The exchange is also said to hold above $2 billion in assets. Currently, the exchange supports more than 80 crypto tokens and coins. This includes the most popular ones, such as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Zcash and Litecoin.
CEO of Digix, Kai C Chng has released statements regarding this new addition.
He stated that:
“Having this integration places DGX on an industry recognised platform and would be a springboard for DGX to be listed on other major exchanges as we head into Q4 2018.”
