What are Blockchain.io goals for the future?

This is a key milestone for Blockchain.io. It will allow us to field test the platform and enhance it to the point where we can offer a fully functional exchange to our users when the platform goes fully live in the next few weeks.

Our objective is to become the leading European cryptocurrency exchange by 2020. It is an ambitious goal, and there is still a long path ahead of us, but we are confident that today is the first day of an exciting journey, building with you the Internet of Value.

Trade on,
