What are crypto brokers?

Updated: Jan 18, 2023

If you have ever used a cryptocurrency exchange, you will understand the convoluted process of working out how you deposit money and successfully buy/sell, whilst not having a person to go to directly when issues arise, or even to understand the whole crypto investment process in the first place.


Crypto brokers solve this problem, by giving clients the opportunity to deal with people promptly when they need help or if things go wrong.


A crypto broker therefore serves as a middleman between people buying and selling the cryptocurrency, whilst always providing a personalised service.


Advantages of a Crypto Broker

  • Service-driven experience

  • Typically, greater transparency with pricing as a result of dealing with people

  • You usually know who you are dealing with on a personal level

Disadvantages of a Crypto Broker

  • Some brokers could be unregulated, leading to a lack of trust for clients.

  • Some brokers may have anonymous identities - if the broker will not share their identity, there is likely a good reason why.

What is GlobalBlock?


GlobalBlock is a cryptocurrency brokerage based in Mayfair, London, and publicly listed on a Canadian stock exchange (TSX Venture Exchange) under the symbol “BLOK”. GlobalBlock was founded in 2018 by traditional finance entrepreneurs, who experienced how frustrating it was to buy cryptocurrency at the time. They had a vision - to create a cryptocurrency investing journey that was straightforward and where you deal with people who you can trust, hence founding GlobalBlock.
