According to Bittrex, headquartered in the US state of Washington, the new exchange will allow Latin American and Caribbean residents the ability to trade over 200 cryptocurrencies.

“At the moment the companies are offering a pre-registration period for interested traders,” said Cryptofacil’s co-founder, Andres Szafran who added that the team plans to leverage the Bittrex trading platform’s experience and token review process.

“We developed Cryptofacil to focus on basic customer requirements: a simple and easy to use cryptocurrency platform with superior customer support and value-added services in a safe and secure environment,” explains Szafran. “Our goal is to become the crypto exchange of record and the most reputable platform in Latin America and the Caribbean.”

Bittrex CEO Bill Shihara says the Cryptofacil team based in Uruguay, has a deep knowledge of the Latin American and Caribbean markets.

“The partnership provides Bittrex with the opportunity to offer these residents access to a broad selection of cryptocurrency assets and the company believes it’s reputation will help bolster the goal. The partnership with Cryptofacil “will further drive worldwide adoption,” Shihara said in making the recent announcement.
