“Rokkex’s customers expect full transparency and protection from crypto hacks. [...] By leveraging Ledger Vault, Rokkex will give investors total control of and instant access to their funds while providing them the peace of mind that their assets are secure, without sacrificing convenience.”
Founded in 2018, Rokkex is a regulated crypto trading platform, reportedly authorized by the Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit to provide crypto wallet and crypto exchange services. Ledger Vault integration comes amid the upcoming Rokkex security token offering, with the presale scheduled for Aug. 26.
Rapid success
According to the news release, Ledger Vault is a multi-authorization governance infrastructure for the management of crypto assets that is specifically designed for the needs of enterprise and institutional clients such as Rokkex.
