Award Winning Australian Digital Currency Exchange
By BTC Markets
The Blockchain Australia Industry Awards (Blockies) were recently held in Sydney. This annual event recognises excellence and innovation in the Australian blockchain ecosystem. Blockchain Australia is the peak industry body representing members of the blockchain and digital assets community in Australia.
BTC Markets took home two ‘Blockies’. One for ‘Digital Currency Exchange of the Year’ and the other for ‘Blockchain Leader of the Year’.
The award for ‘Digital Currency Exchange of the Year’ recognised an outstanding digital currency exchange that has a ‘strong leadership position’ in the industry. It has been a challenging year and to be recognised as the trusted market leader in the Australian cryptocurrency landscape, is a huge accolade and achievement for our business.
Our CEO, Caroline Bowler also took home the award for ‘Blockchain Leader of the Year’ which recognised a leader from the blockchain industry who is a pioneer, visionary, strategic thinker, and role model. Recipients of this award are seen as influencers in the industry, demonstrating their engagement with the community including keynote speaking engagements, advocacy for regulatory reforms, and an in-demand subject matter expert for media interviews and public commentary.
