EOS gateways on BitShares DEX have a long track record. EOS assets have been exchanged with multiple trading pairs even prior to the genesis native EOS block:
The GDEX and XBTS gateways reliably reflect the market price of global EOS and serve customers around the world - especially in Asia. So for the past two years we've been building and maintaining the BTWTY.EOS network I've often asked myself - what role in the market can we play?
As a smaller firm with a single asset we approach the value proposition for deposits from a new perspective. I don't think we should necessarily compete on the low-latency fee minimized service of instant deposits withdrawals. Admittedly this service is already well served by the aforementioned services, and in economics terms is a 'crowded market'. Truthfully, we're still working out effective and reliable methods for automated tx processing.

Where we can compete and deliver value to users is as a long term (by cryptocurrency standards) staking platform:
Since EOS network itself presents various opportunities for earning yield, with differing terms and conditions. We're actively considering ways to fairly pass through some of this yield to token holders. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that most BTWTY.EOS are held in AMM contracts (so it's not always clear block-to-block who is the owner of a given BTWTY.EOS). Nevertheless we are receptive and open to considering any form of user feedback so don't hold back!
