About AEX Global
Founded in 2013, AEX Global is one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges. In 2021, it fully exited the mainland China market, completing user migration and closing the China domain, marking a strategic pivot to international compliance. In May 2022, AEX obtained a UK Digital Bank License and launched its '3-Year, 3-Centres' plan, aiming to become a digital life service provider. It also holds Hong Kong financial licenses (1, 4, 7, 9) and a New Zealand brokerage license, with plans for more licenses globally. These milestones represent its evolution from a trading platform to a regulated digital asset ecosystem.
