Eight former Morgan Stanley developers at Morgan Stanley launched a cryptocurrency derivatives platform called Phemex. The platform will offer 100x leverage to retail and institutional investors in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple contracts.

Pheex will be ten times faster than regular cryptocurrency trading platforms.
