OKCoin is one of the first licensed exchanges to support UNI with a USD pairing along with BTC airdrops for customers who trade DeFi assets
Today we’re pleased to announce support for UNI, a popular decentralized finance (DeFi) token native to the Ethereum-based decentralized exchange (DEX), Uniswap. UNI trading will go live today, September 21st, at 11pm PDT.
We are also preparing to list Compound Finance’s cTokens: cUSDC and cUSDT. These assets add to a growing list of DeFi tokens on OKCoin including COMP, DOT, and YFI. As part of these listings, we are also introducing our DeFi airdrop program where we’ll reward select customers with BTC airdrops between $25-$100. Simply trade any of these newly listed DeFi tokens to participate in the #OKCoinAirdrops — details below.
Listing Uniswap (UNI) & cTokens (cUSDC, cUSDT)
Uniswap (UNI)
UNI is a governance token with the ability to govern the direction of the Uniswap exchange, the leading decentralized exchange protocol on the Ethereum blockchain. The UNI token enables shared ownership of implementation of the Uniswap governance system. Development of the Uniswap protocol and broader Uniswap ecosystem is facilitated by the governance system.
Uniswap allows anyone to easily and permissionlessly swap assets, with only internet access, an Ethereum wallet, and ETH, or other ERC20 token.
Compound Finance cTokens (cUSDC and cUSDT)
Referred to as cTokens, together cUSDC and cUSDT fuel Compound protocol’s lending platform. cTokens are assets used on the backend of Compound Finance that support the Compound protocol. Users can capture value with cTokens based on a regular schedule of interest that is accrued annually. cTokens are considered steady assets because they lack volatility and have a built in system of interest appreciation.
