The startup claims that it is pioneering the industry with new features and innovations. These include a zero-percent maker fee, a knowledge base, dedicated ticket-based support, BTCV markets, and referral programs. Any trader can begin with ZAR and then diversify with thousands of cryptocurrencies.
In an email to Ventureburn, the startup said it has over a thousand users, the majority of them being South Africans and that it recently started generating revenue, but is as yet not profitable.
The startup was founded in 2017 by Ryno Mathee, Otto Lessing (who serves as CEO) and Martin de Bruin.
Mattheee is an entrepreneur with a software development background, while Lessing was admitted as a lawyer in 2001 and has been involved in multiple ventures before becoming involved with ChainEX.
De Bruin is a financial manager at one of the largest dairy farms in South Africa.
