Luno Adds Bitcoin Cash Trading

Luno, the London-headquartered company formerly known as Bitx, recently announced that bitcoin cash was made available on its cryptocurrency exchange. Starting from Monday, September 23, customers at Luno are now able to store, buy and sell BCH on the platform. The reason given for adding BCH to the exchange is feedback from users in developing markets that convinced Luno to expand their offering from previously just BTC and ETH.

Marcus Swanepoel, CEO of Luno, said, “We are in a new and exciting financial era. Developing economies are leading the large-scale adoption and application of cryptocurrencies. Luno has been part of this change and has listened to, and always worked hard to understand the needs of these developing economies. It is for this reason we have moved to expand our offering of secure and legitimate digital currencies to individuals, enabling cross-functional accessibility and transfer of funds.”

Available in 40 Countries Around the World

The Luno team promised their clients that the offering will continue to expand after the addition of bitcoin cash, with new digital assets to trade on the platform. However, they also assured users that safety will continue to come first and explained that any new coins added to the platform will have been monitored by the company for several years, having the credibility to make it onto one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges.

Marius Reitz, General Manager Africa for Luno, commented, “There are over 2,000 cryptocurrencies in the market and we take our role as a trusted platform very seriously. We are therefore very cautious about new coins. We only add new coins once we are confident of their security, credibility, and market traction.”

The company claims to have around 3 million users worldwide, spread across 40 countries. Luno also has local offices in South Africa, Indonesia, Nigeria, Singapore and Malaysia, with a workforce of over 300 employees around the world.

If the platform you are using does not support bitcoin cash, besides convincing the company to do so, you can purchase it directly at buy.Bitcoin.com, buy it from peer-to-peer traders at local.Bitcoin.com, or simply join exchange.Bitcoin.com.
