The exchange was created by the The Rock Trading Ltd. The company is based in Malta, with branch offices in Italy and was initially a Virtual Insurance Company in Second Life.

Most of their customers are Europeans, and Italy is the most frequent country of origin.

Summary:

The Rock Trading is more of a boutique exchange with its unique features and mostly Italian and European users. It offers a user-friendly, basic platform where trading and exchange can be carried out with ease and speed. Best both for beginners and expert traders, especially users with a Green Address wallet.
