Sam Dorrer is launching Echo, a regulated, centralised crypto exchange from the Isle of Man with ambitions beyond trading—it aims to handle exchange, custody, brokerage, token issuance, and ultimately real-world assets. Echo already holds licences from the Isle of Man FSA and Czech authorities, is building features like Echo Elite for high-net-worth clients using a Protected Cell Company structure, and plans to share 50% of exchange revenue with token holders via its native Echo token. Dorrer also stresses that Isle of Man’s regulatory environment (direct access to decision-makers, favorable tax and legal framework) is essential to Echo’s model.
