Most South Africans are now warming up to the idea of using Cryptocurrencies and that may be the reason why a company like OVEX was formed. OVEX is a South African cryptocurrency exchange which has been up and running since February 2019. The service offered by OVEX is impressive because the company offers trading in over 20 cryptocurrencies and one fiat currency.
One of the main reasons why OVEX is popular is because of its low fees, tight spreads, and swift settlements and this then makes it easy to profit from cryptocurrency arbitrage. If you are into cryptocurrencies, you will know that cryptocurrencies are cheaper to buy in certain foreign markets than in South African markets due to local exchange controls, OVEX then takes advantage of that because it allows its customers to purchase cryptocurrencies from exchanges in countries such as the US, and immediately sell them at a higher rand price in South Africa (always check the Bitcoin to ZAR price before you buy bitcoin in SA).
OVEX is backed by crypto investment group Invictus, which ensures it has sufficient liquidity to operate and provide the level and speed of service we promise our clients. The company uses the United States dollar USD, and this is important because the USD is a ‘stable coin’ fully backed by US dollars on a one-for-one basis and this is the reason why OVEX is not prone to the wild price swings of speculative crypto assets like bitcoin.
OVEX also offers crypto interest accounts which offer up to 20% per annum.
OVEX offers ‘Request for Quote’ a service which automatically produces buy and sell order quotes for any currency on the OVEX platform, and you can then choose to accept the quote and buy your cryptocurrency. At this stage, they are playing catchup to Valr and Luno.
Another service which is known as OVEX OTC service designed for high-volume traders. The OTC service provides unmatched execution and settlement services to South African organisations and individuals with a high net worth.
