‘meXBT shares our vision to make digital currencies more accessible and easier to use for everyone around the world,’ said Vadim Telyatnikov, CEO of AlphaPoint. ‘Through its growing partnership pipeline, meXBT makes it easier for its users to deposit and withdraw funds through any convenience store in Mexico, and have low-cost remittance services to-and-from the country, demonstrating meXBT’s commitment to execute on that vision in Latin America.’

Additionally, Hong Kong based bitcoin startup incubator Seedcoin (http://www.seedco.in) and its Chief Startup Officer Eddy Travia deserve credit for supporting meXBT’s rapid success.  ‘Right from the start, through our initial discussions with Gabriel, we felt it was the right time to back the first professional crypto exchange in Mexico.
