Find out how Digitex makes zero-fee trading possibleand meet the man behind the vision
The futures markets hold vast potential for profits that are currently unrealized due to the traditional revenue models of exchanges, which are based on a per-transaction fee. This model means that the most active and loyal traders are generating liquidity - the lifeblood of any exchange - while handing over their hard-won profits.
Even worse, many exchanges operate internal trading desks that are working against the traders.
The DGTX token offers a revolutionary new model of revenue generation, meaning that Digitex users pay no commissions. Digitex is the world’s first zero-fee futures trading platform with interests aligned to that of its traders.
The face of Digitex is CEO and Founder Adam Todd. Tough as nails and with a steely determination to match, Adam is not your regular CEO. Growing up in the public eye, Adam has been both vocally praised and criticized throughout the Digitex journey so far.
This colorful ex-pit trader with a mouth like a sailor is the first to admit that building a commission-free futures exchange is f**king hard. He’s had his ups and downs as a leader, always opting to make the tough calls and being relentless in his quest for excellence. Digitex is the culmination of Adam’s dream and living proof that nothing is impossible when you set your sights on it.
Adam founded Digitex in 2017, launching with a sell-out token sale that raised $5.2 million in just 17 minutes. From that moment, Adam knew his idea was a winning formula destined to be a hit among traders. Since then, Adam has been on a singular mission to make Digitex a success.
