New trading interface on Independent Reserve

We’re happy to launch our new trading website – rebuilt from the ground up with new features and a faster and more intuitive interface. At the same time, it’s important to know that we still have the same mature core infrastructure securing your assets, and the new site has passed external penetration testing.

Your assets are safe

Independent Reserve has no exposure to FTX, Alameda Research, or the FTT token. As such, there is no impact to our customers from recent events. I’d like to take this opportunity to assure you that your assets are safe with Independent Reserve. Independent Reserve is a pure orderbook exchange. This means that we provide a platform for investors to trade cryptocurrency amongst each other. Our revenue comes from charging a small fee on each trade.

Moreover, we aimed to transform cryptocurrency technology into secure, robust and regulated financial services, and do things the right way.
