CoinfloorEX Relaunching Next Month as CoinFLEX
CoinflooxEX, which was a Bitcoin futures marketplace, is being spun off from Coinfloor Group, its parent company, and will be relaunched next month as CoinFLEX (Coin Futures and Lending Exchange). The new CoinFLEX will be owned by a group of investors which include Roger Ver, Trading Technologies, Mike Komaransky, B2C2, Global Advisors, Grapefruit Trading, Dragonfly Capital Partners, Amber Al and Alameda Research.

CoinFLEX will allow traders to exchange USDT (Tether) for other stablecoins such as USDC (USD Coin), so that crypto trading across the markets can be eased.
