Fast-growing Canadian exchange is among the first to adopt advanced security solution
TORONTO, May 11, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ledger, the global leader in security and infrastructure solutions for critical digital assets and blockchain applications, has announced that Ledger Vault, the multi-authorization digital asset wallet management solution, has been chosen to secure VirgoCX, a Canadian fiat-to-crypto trading platform for both retail and institutional clients.
VirgoCX, which is registered with FINTRAC as a Money Service Business, will integrate Ledger Vault’s state-of-the-art digital asset management system into its high-performance platform to increase the security of cryptocurrency holdings. Ledger Vault will provide the security infrastructure to protect VirgoCX digital assets for retail and institutional clients as the ecosystem expands and VirgoCX continues growing its footprint in Canada and worldwide.
The integration of Ledger Vault will help VirgoCX adjust its business operations to address the increased concern for the safekeeping of cryptocurrency assets from within the industry. Unlike traditional custodial solutions, Ledger Vault’s technology enables platforms to build out highly secure multi-signature governance rules while ensuring liquidity within the platform is maintained at an optimal level on a 24/7 basis. The platform creates a secure, flexible, and agile environment that enables the overflow of funds in, out, and within the exchange, allowing VirgoCX users to access their funds promptly.
As the fastest growing Canadian exchange with thousands of active traders within Canada VirgoCX seeks to redefine cryptocurrency trading by providing cost-effective, multi-level security layers to protect personal data while maximizing liquidity for users. Additionally, VirgoCX’s users will have further peace-of-mind that their crypto assets are secure with Ledger Vault’s custom $150M pooled crime insurance.
“We are thrilled to connect Ledger Vault’s sophisticated infrastructure to the VirgoCX platform as this collaboration furthers our mission to become the most trustworthy trading platform in Canada and globally,” said Adam Cai, Chief Executive Officer of VirgoCX. “Ledger Vault’s solution allows us to maintain full visibility and audibility over users’ activity, while providing an unparalleled level of security for the assets in motion”.
“Ledger Vault prioritizes bringing the highest standards of security to our customers,” said Demetrios Skalkotos, Global Head of Ledger Vault. “With cryptocurrencies being an asset vulnerable to compromise, VirgoCX’s commitment to security alongside Ledger Vault’s technology allows for a seamless and secure trading experience giving investors the peace-of-mind that their digital assets are safe.”
