what will your regular prices be for black membership?
"Black" will be $5,000/year. Currently you get any "lifetime" membership for the 1-year cost. If you do the math, you will find they are a super deal. Meanwhile everyone, including non-members, will likely appreciate the ability to *make* 0.1% commission when posting orders.
It's a nice deal relative to your regular prices. But it's asking a lot to speculate that Atlas will ever get the volume for this $5k to ever pay itself back.
Is trading live on your site? I can't tell without putting in my social security number..
It's a fair point. There are many start-up exchanges vying to launch in the US and not all of them will succeed. Atlas will succeed because unlike these groups, we have the domain expertise and the technology required to operate a mature exchange in highly regulated markets. It is not trivial. The exchange will go live in the next 30 days..
