Born out of frustration over our inability to purchase cryptocurrency conveniently, we started NuMoney as an over-the-counter service.
Running NuMoney's OTC service was straightforward:
- Acquire a cryptocurrency liquidity provider
- Fund our account via wire transfers
- Resell cryptocurrency at a spread
Bank and liquidity provider issues
In the first 2 months, we expanded so rapidly that the points of failure became naggingly apparent.Neither banks nor liquidity providers appreciate high-volume, rapid movements of cash, particularly so if you run a cryptocurrency startup. So we soon encountered problems with both the liquidity providers and our banks.
Nevertheless, this fast growth demonstrated a massive demand for cryptocurrency in Singapore. For us to satiate this demand, we have to eliminate these points of failure.
Eliminating points of failure
To eliminate the points of failure, we must build an exchange.This is necessary for users both locally and internationally to trade and arbitrage the demand here, which in turns brings liquidity to the shores of the territories that we will operate in. This eliminates the reliance on an external liquidity provider.
The building of an exchange is imperative as it allows fiat currency to cycle within an exchange without having to cross borders, which in turn reduces the need for a banking intermediary. This, in the long run, could eradicate the reliance on banks.
NuMoney Exchange
So we decided to build an exchange. This is how it looks like:
This exchange will also be like Binance, for which we try to support as many alt-coin pairs as we can.
Like Bithumb, we will also have a physical location for customer care.
