Mr Rubinstein, lawyer by training, has more than 20 years of experience in early stage technology commercialization. He is also Chairman of EasyPark ANZ, an early adopter of the “Smart City” opportunities for digital parking. Mr Rubinstein is set to become Chairman of DigitalX.

Mr Sam Lee is the founder and CEO of BGL. He will assume the role of a Non-Executive Director at DigitalX.

The two companies are planning to set up a joint venture that will see them collaborate on offering and tailoring “Two-way ATM” solutions for buying and selling Bitcoin.

In August, DigitalX announced a partnership with Bankera to provide it with consultancy services. DigitalX will act as an advisor to Bankera’s initial coin offering (ICO), which is a part of Bankera’s plan to build a digital bank for the Blockchain era. Earlier this year – in April, DigitalX unveiled a collaboration with professional software developer Lateral. The key goal of the collaboration is the creation of Blockchain and distributed ledger products for large enterprises in Australia and a number of regions in Asia.
