Colbitex, Colombia’s first Bitcoin exchange has launched its platform in testnet mode on June 3, 2016, to provide Colombians a simple and efficient method of exchanging Bitcoin to local pesos.
One of the startup’s main focus in developing an established and robust Bitcoin exchange in the region is to help Colombians familiarize with Bitcoin, and fully understand the benefits of using it to settle both international and local transactions.
As of now, the Testnet version of the Colbitex Bitcoin exchange platform is not able to handle transactions and settlement of orders. However, the company intends to release a beta version of the platform in the near future – possibly in June – which will allow Colombian users to trade Bitcoin to Colombian pesos with ease.
