PlatinumDEX's Focus on Building Confidence and Security Will Counter Recent

Condemnation Directed at Crypto Ecosystem

PlatinumDEX's delivery of a global network of secure crypto exchange with strong corporate
governance and proper KYC, AML and ATF protocols will answer much of the criticism aimed at
the digital assets financial market. The North Korean Hackers $500 USD million thefts and Nouriel
"Doctor Doom" Roubini verbal attacks are a wake-up call to the industry.

London, United Kingdom, October 26, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Last week the cryptocurrency world was hit
with a double-whammy.

It was revealed that North Korean hacker group “Lazarus” has stolen over half-a-billion dollars in
cryptocurrency from exchanges in less than two years, and Nouriel Roubini, aka “Dr. Doom,” one of the
world's most respected economists, leveled his most direct attack on cryptocurrency to date.

In testimony before US Congress Roubini said that, due to its volatility and lack of fundamental financial
controls, cryptocurrency is "the mother or father of all scams and bubbles." He called for it to be
legislated out of existence.

“I agree with Mr. Roubini's premise but not with his desired outcome,” says Rosamund Blomfield-Smith,
Chairman of PlatinumDEX and former City of London banker.

“Mr. Roubini is completely right in his assessment that there are many ICOs that were scams, and that the
cryptocurrency space requires much tighter controls,” Blomfield-Smith continued. “But we are in a
situation where the 'genie is out of the bottle.' Cryptocurrency is not going to go away. We must focus on
control and, where appropriate regulations, rather than killing it off.”

North Korea is an entirely different matter.

North Korea has become the preeminent “bogeyman” for the crypto exchange world. The hacker group
"Lazarus" has been able to successfully steal from numerous exchanges with total impunity.

And while many may point the finger of blame at Lazarus, a growing number of experts are saying the
opposite.

“It's time to stop blaming North Korea for your own weaknesses,” says PlatinumDEX CEO Alexander
Rogan. “It's like a boxing match. If you keep getting hit in the face by your opponent, you don't blame
him for boxing. You must learn to keep your gloves up.”

“I think North Korea and Roubini are a godsend for the crypto world,” continued Rogan. “You've had far
too many playing fast and loose with other people's money without oversight, control or security. The
crypto ecosystem is in dire need of a shakeup. Now, it's time to get serious.”

To that end, PlatinumDEX focuses on building trust and security in the digital assets' environment.

As Blomfield-Smith puts it “Cryptocurrency is here to stay. It is up to every user to choose the right tools
with which to work.”
