INX Limited ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3039660-1&h=1539476026&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.inx.co%2F&a=INX+Limited 
), the blockchain-based platform for trading digital securities and 
cryptocurrencies in accordance with SEC, FINRA and EU regulations, announced 
today that a definitive agreement has been signed for the acquisition of 
Openfinance Securities LLC, a registered U.S. broker-dealer operating a 
registered FINRA/SIPC member, with an alternative trading system (ATS) 
("Openfinance ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3039660-1&h=3528422466&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.openfinance.io%2F&a=Openfinance 
) "). Integration of Openfinance's registered user base to INX is expected to 
result in a critical mass for the upcoming INX platform launch.

Subject to customary regulatory approvals, INX will acquire Openfinance's 
broker-dealer and ATS business including its systems, digital asset listings, 
client base and licenses. This combination will more than quadruple registered 
users to the platform.  Openfinance is based in Chicago with offices in New 
York and Pennsylvania.

INX bolsters its leadership position in the digital asset ecosystem with the 
acquisition of Openfinance, one of the pioneers of regulated trading platforms 
in this space. Openfinance listings include companies such as Blockchain 
Capital, Spice VC and Lottery.com. INX recently announced the future listings 
of Diamond Standard's Diamond Token, Pixelmatic's Infinite Fleet, Wave's 
Kentucky Whiskey Fund, Klickown AG and Solidblock. INX assures continuity of 
operations and service to Openfinance's customer base.

"The broker-dealer and ATS business enables investors to trade security tokens 
on the Openfinance platform. The acquisition shortens the time for INX to go to 
market. Now we expect to go live a few months after closing with both our 
cryptocurrency trading platform and a fully-regulated securities trading 
platform," commented Shy Datika, President and founder of INX.

"INX developed a proprietary trading platform, and built it from the ground up 
with regulation in mind. Our trading platform and portfolio are the perfect 
match for INX to debut listing and trading of digital securities with full 
regulatory compliance, fair trading policies, secure protocols and privacy 
procedures," commented Jim Stonebridge, CEO of Openfinance.

INX recently launched the first SEC-registered digital security IPO (
