dinero_admin History is made today with the launch of DAX, the first Digital Asset Exchange created by a Stock Exchange in Latin America.
Digital Exchange (DAX) is the digital arm of the Stock Exchange, consolidating its position as a pioneer in Latin America and among the top 10 regulated exchanges in the world.
The event, which brought together representatives from the financial and stock market sectors, stakeholders in the digital ecosystem, and its regulator, marked a significant milestone in the modernization of the salvadoran financial market.
During his speech, Rolando Duarte, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Digital Exchange, emphasized: “The world is experiencing an unprecedented transformation in the way we understand, create, and move capital. With DAX, El Salvador not only participates in this global trend, but also leads the conversation in the region. Today we open the door to a new era in which the traditional and the digital complement each other, and in which we reaffirm that we are ready to compete in the major leagues of modern finance”.
A platform with a global vision. DAX presents itself as an ecosystem that connects digital assets with the capital market, integrating broker participation and offering opportunities to both investors and issuers. Its model allows for the trading of regulated digital assets, duly authorized by the Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales (CNAD).
“The platform is based on three fundamental pillars: innovation, trust, and global access, and its launch reflects the commitment to promoting modern and secure financial solutions for the country and the region”, commented Valentín Arrieta, director of the DAX Board of Directors.
Our strategic partners had the opportunity to learn about the benefits of the digital asset trading platform, which was presented by Eduardo López, general manager of DAX, who stated, “This launch represents the fruit of a shared vision and the work of a team committed to innovation. DAX is more than a platform; it is institutional trust with cutting-edge technology”.
License and regulatory support. DAX operates under the official PSAD-0037 license, granted by the CNAD, which guarantees strict compliance with security, transparency, and oversight standards. This authorization supports the provision of services such as the exchange, custody, and trading of digital assets, consolidating the platform as a reliable benchmark aligned with international standards.
A firm step toward the future. With DAX, El Salvador positions itself as a regional leader in financial innovation, integrating the local market into the global dynamics of digital assets.
The launch was accompanied by the official presentation of DAX’s brand and visual identity, as well as a tour of the benefits and services it will offer. Duarte closed the event with an inspiring message: “I invite you to discover, participate, and take advantage of the opportunities we make available to you. Because the future doesn’t wait… and we’re already there. Welcome to DAX”.
