BOCA RATON, Fla., March 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The San Juan Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (SJMX) and its affiliate, the San Juan Mercantile Bank & Trust International Corp. (SJMBT), today announced three key strategic partnerships that pave the way for the initial launch of SJMX's integrated digital assets exchange and banking solution.
