Bitfinex, one of the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchanges, has officially launched a new decentralized exchange (DEX) which utilizes the EOS (EOS) blockchain.
Called EOSfinex, the project is currently in its beta stage and only includes market, limit, immediate-or-cancel, and post-only orders.

Decentralized Exchanges Are Here
EOSfinex is not the only new trustless exchange on the block.
As noted by SludgeFeed, Bitfinex launched Ethfinex Trustless only a matter of weeks ago, which functions similarly to EOSfinex but is Ethereum-based.
StellarX — a user-friendly, peer-to-peer marketplace built around Stellar (XLM) — has also fully launched in recent days after extensive beta testing.
StellarX’s main claim to fame, at least right now, is the fact that it is truly a zero-fee platform.
With EOSfinex, Ethfinex and StellarX all making a name for themselves, it is clear that decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges may be the way of the future.
