The Venezuelan authorities approved a test launch of the decentralized stock exchange (BDVE). In the official gazette Gaceta, it is представлена as the world’s first platform, ‘connected to the cryptocurrency markets system’.
According to утверждению by the developers, all contracts will be public and auditable. The specific blockchain is not specified in the document, but the use of popular standards ERC-233 and ERC-721 suggests that BDVE will be based on Ethereum.
“[BDVE] represents an innovative segment of the stock market, which, using new information and communication technologies, provides investors with security and control over their financial assets,” the statement said.
The exchange will be accessible from anywhere in the world with no restrictions. It will trade both fiat currencies and ‘alternative digital assets’. The documents do not mention the national cryptocurrency El Petro.
The financial regulator allotted 90 days for testing the platform. After that, it will determine whether BDVE will receive a license to continue operation.
Earlier Venezuela обязала miners to obtain permits to mine cryptocurrency from the National Committee of Digital Assets. They also need to join the ‘national pool’.
