Through the acquisition of CoinRepublic, meXBT will benefit from the networks of the Singaporean exchange, which includes local banks, exchanges and financial institutions. The pre-existent customer base and reputation of CoinRepublic will enable meXBT to enter the Singaporean market with ease, and establish itself as a major bitcoin exchange in the country.

"I am very excited," Gabriel Miron, founder and CEO of meXBT announced. "CoinRepublic is a highly respected brand in the Asian market, and acquiring their business and brand gives us access to participate in one of the most developed markets in terms of financial innovation; establishing meXBT in Asia. We see this as a first step to allowing highly efficient payments cross-border between Asia and Mexico."

CoinRepublic users will also benefit from meXBT's real-time data, better trading rates and other unique functionalities of the exchange. Miron declined to disclose the volume of transactions and trades of CoinRepublic.
