The two organizations believe the agreement will be a milestone as it could become the first international stock exchanges that will allow cryptocurrency trades.


“We are excited to implement this service with our clients, satisfying considerable investor interest in digital assets. We are also proud to be at the forefront of bringing innovation to capital markets,” explains Marlene Street Forrest, the Managing Director of the JSE.

Since the JSE launched its principal stock exchange in Kingston, Jamaica the organization has seen a lot of development. To accommodate growth the JSE launched its online trading platform in 2015, which at the time was the first of its kind within the Caribbean, enabling clients to view market performance, and buy and sell securities. A broker member of the JSE from the firm Sagicor Investments, Kirk Brown, says the JSE decision to offer digital currency trading is paramount for the growth of this budding tech-driven economy.
