CoinFLEX Team Believes the Crypto Exchange has Significant Value in the Future.

The plan to make the CoinFLEX community whole using the options mentioned above of rvUSD, equity, and FLEX Coin, was proposed earlier this week. The team also gave an optimistic outlook of CoinFLEX’s future. They said:

We think that the product set we have built at CoinFLEX has significant value in the future, not just in crypto markets but also in other markets where physical delivery is important and allows the tokenization of yield.

This could be in the equities markets, where we have the opportunity to disrupt the $2.5 trillion stock lending business that less than ten large banks control today.
