GLX - Global Listing Exchange is the world’s only Capital Market Directory & Social Finance Network.

GLX is revolutionizing the way each and every member of the world’s capital markets connects, communicates, shares, and accesses information. 

Globally, Social Media revenue is forecast to surpass $40 Billion in 2017. In 2015 it reached $25.1 Billion, a 41% increase year over year. Currently there are over 2.67 Billion social media users globally, with an average daily usage of 118 minutes per day. The Global Stock Market cap is over $69 Trillion. Our Market Size is enormous as every member of the world’s investment communities has the ability to utilize our platform.

Google does it for the world’s general information. Facebook does it for the world’s people.  At GLX, we’re doing it for the world’s capital markets, securities exchanges, and alternative trading venues - connecting the communities that exist around them to provide unprecedented connection and organization.

We’ve aggregated all of the disparate financial data at our disposal into a single consolidated resource, and are giving people around the globe access to it. Market activity, economic news, trading advice, and windows into previously unknown trading opportunities are just a few things you’ll find - all under one roof - on our platform.

GLX.com also serves as its own police department - allowing members to work together to correct discrepancies and errors through a validated notification process.  This element of our platform goes a very long way towards eliminating the lack of integrity and transparency that have become commonplace today.

It’s all part of our mission to make the world’s capital markets more transparent, open and connected - truly revolutionizing the way we trade, consume financial content and interact with all market constituents.  We’re well on our way towards building the world’s biggest investor network.

GLX was founded in April of 2015 and is currently a privately held company. Here’s a look at some of the top achievements we’ve enjoyed since being founded as a privately held company in April 2015

Up and running.  Our home, GLX.com, is currently live and functional in alpha mode with continuous testing underway and improvements being made.

Reg A+ offering in the works. We are in the process of auditing our financial statements and, upon completion, expect to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a Reg A+ Crowdfunding offering in the fourth quarter of 2017.  GLX will seek a public market listing shortly thereafter.

Financial designation secured.  We’re already making ourselves known in the major American markets, with the ticker symbol “GLX” reserved with NASDAQ.

Our markets are ready to move.
GLX launched the Pre-Sale of our GLX Dollar (X) on July 1 and will be seeking to raise $10 million USD in our Initial Dollar Offering (IDO) on September 10, 2017. The GLX Dollar (X) is a cryptocurrency based on the Ethereum blockchain. The X is a medium of exchange similar to the US dollar. Xs can be used to pay for goods and services on the GLX platform and can also be earned and traded amongst members of the GLX network.

Key relationships being built.  Networking and the creation of business partnerships continue to be of utmost importance for us.  Current alliances and service provider partners include:

IP protection on the way.  We own a pending application for the mark “GLX Global Listing Exchange” in the US Patent and Trademark Office.  The application will mature into a federal registration once the Statement of Use is filed.  The same goes for the European Community.

Sure, we’re proud of the milestones we’ve reached so far - but know that changing the way the world trades isn’t an overnight endeavor. With our own cryptocurrency already available for pre-sale and the ticker symbol GLX reserved on NASDAQ, now is the time to learn more about GLX.

It’s an exciting time within the global financial sector.  A multitude of external factors have come together to give investors more options - and easier access - than ever before.  The world’s markets are globalizing at an accelerating pace, thanks to increased internet availability and bandwidth speeds.  Social media is playing a huge role, too, allowing consumers and businesses to connect and engage in groupthink that helps to optimize their investment endeavors.  The individual markets are also devoting themselves to innovation - leading to emerging market growth and more opportunities for cross-border investing.

But despite all this opportunity, a couple crucial elements remain missing from the equation: transparency and information collaboration.  Success in capital market trading has always been based on access to data and analytics that allows for optimal decisions; but current platforms are outdated.

Here are some of the many inefficiencies that this subpar status quo, combined with the ocean of investment opportunities, have created:

The Solution - The GLX.com Platform:

  • Bridges Fragmented Markets - and the communities that exist around the world’s various securities exchanges and alternative trading venues.
  • Aggregates Disparate Data - into a single resource organizing, policing and providing universal access to global information.
  • Eliminates the Existing Lack of Integrity & Transparency - by allowing members to collaboratively submit and review potential discrepancies through a validated notification process resulting in a user regulated platform.

Investors are starving for new ideas, especially within emerging markets - but there’s just no consistency when it comes to obtaining information.  While this is certainly creating frustration, it’s also created an awesome opportunity for financial entrepreneurs to lead a new era of capital market investing. Things are happening quickly - and the time to capitalize on this ripe situation is now!




The Global Listing Exchange business model resembles that of a securities exchange combined with that of a high-traffic social networking destination site. 




However, because GLX aggregates data from all exchanges, the information is gathered, indexed, and presented in a standardized manner that allows participants to easily look across and into global markets. 

 

 

GLX will monetize the platform from several large categories of revenues:

  • Subscription fees and access to higher level market data are the foundation of the model
  • The community and network overall will produce revenue from targeted marketing and advertising services
  • Contributed data that is aggregated over time becomes a valuable asset
  • Corporate services are offered to listed companies

A commitment to 5 values - Markets, Data, Communication, Integrity, and Transparency - have led to the creation of a truly one-of-a-kind solution.  In a nutshell, we’re bridging the vast array of fragmented markets and providing every available piece of information on them, while allowing users to discuss them in an honorable, open manner.  Our utilization of start-of-the-art software development and design practices is what allows us to provide optimal functionality in all of these areas.  The GLX tech stack includes Linux, Ruby, Apache, AngularJS, mySQL, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and other top-level languages and frameworks - all crafted through the hard work of our large and talented engineering team.

This technological formula unlocks a variety of very useful things functionality-wise; for example, unlike with other social networks, users will be invited to take control and enhance their profiles.  Here’s a look at just a few more of the very unique features and benefits GLX is bringing to the world of finance:

The GLX Dollar (X) is a cryptocurrency based on the popular and successful Ethereum blockchain.  It’s a medium of exchange that works similarly to the US dollar - they can be earned and traded amongst members, and used to pay for goods/services on our platform.

Geographical boundaries mean nothing to us at GLX.  Capital markets serving individual cities and states, an entire nation, or even as large as the whole continent will be included on our platform.

And when it comes to type, we don’t discriminate either.  Large or small, GLX plays home to securities exchanges, trading venues, and other types of capital markets.

We allow members to collaboratively submit and review potential discrepancies through a validated notification process.  By making GLX a self-policed platform, we’re eliminating the “hidden agendas” that may arise elsewhere.

Being a social finance network, GLX gives users all the ability to find and communicate with connections that matter to them. Unlisted users can create their own new profiles in a matter of a couple minutes.

By aggregating disparate data in the manner we do, GLX is giving users access to collective information they can’t find anywhere else.  This opens the door for new opportunities for analysis that could potentially uncover things we haven’t thought of before.

The GLX vision is the brainchild of a former investment banker who’s always kept one eye on the world of social media.  As he grew in his career, he began to notice the relationship between the two - and that Wall Street was dying for a social networking site that could provide global stock market news and data.  The result, soon after, was the formation of GLX - and the foundations for what is currently a 25-person team of employees and contractors.  Let’s meet the key managing members tasked with steering us towards our vision!

The entire GLX management team is comprised of diverse backgrounds in investment banking, technology, media, and publishing - making them ideal for a venture of this magnitude.  They also receive the support of a talented Board of Advisors, led by brilliant technologist and SaaS startup veteran Vishal Singh.  The Board consists of experts from a variety of areas - including business development, technology, and Blockchain currency.

Board of Directors – GLX is in the process of sourcing independent world class board members with public market experience.
