Looks like Bitfinex is launching an ERC20 focused exchange.  Love the concept on introducing a loyalty token that'll share profit from fees and allowing the larger traders input on decisions and guidance.  Sadly, once again another token unavailable to those in the US.

I wonder what they'll do with Etherium on Bitfinex; if it'll get transfered to Ethfinex or remain.  Also, I wonder if it'll be a separate account or if your Bitfinex account transfer to Ethfinex.

Our journey towards decentralisation will include at its core a new token to incentivise liquidity and reward loyal customers of Ethfinex. These loyalty tokens are similar to loyalty points, and will never be sold in a crowdsale, but are instead given for free to token market makers in proportion to the volume of trades they participate in on the exchange.
Owners of the tokens will be able to use them to claim loyalty rewards from the exchange, and advise on the future governance of Ethfinex. Initially the tokens will be majority owned by Ethfinex, but gradually as more tokens are issued the ownership of them will therefore become decentralised so that our customers will have a stake in Ethfinex.
