BananaCrystal, a peer-to-peer financial services platform, has launched its dual-platform ecosystem on the Hedera Network, introducing both a currency liquidity pool and a currency prediction market.

The ecosystem intends to modernise how businesses “access, exchange, and interact with global currencies” by enabling swaps across over 150 digitised fiat currencies, according to BananaCrystal, which they say improves participation in foreign exchange markets.

The platform is designed to support enterprise cross-border payment management and expanded market access for traders, among others.

Commenting on the launch, George Egbuonu, CEO of BananaCrystal, says: “For the first time, anyone can access, manage, and trade 150+ global currencies instantly without gatekeepers or excessive costs.”

Joshua Sroge, chairman and CEO at Hedera Foundation, adds: “Through this launch, any individual or business can now access, manage, and trade global currencies in seconds.”
