Crypto Exchange OKCoin Is Adding Tron To The Platform

The crypto exchange OKCoin announced to be listing Tron to its platform according to the information coming to our digital currency crypto news media outlet.

OKCoin a platform that mainly focuses on traditional swaps and serves only US customers.

The CEO of the exchange, Tim Byun believes that first, regulation is extremely important and that the platform won’t be listing tokens that are considered to be securities. He explained:

‘’First thing we do, we have to abide by regulations in the US. We are a money service business. We’re operating out of the US. We’re serving US customers. So from a regulatory perspective, that’s the clearest step one to take, so we spend a lot of effort on our compliance team and our legal team to ensure that whatever we list is not a security.’’

In an interview with CCN, Tim continued on by saying:

‘’We do not have an ATS or a broker-dealer license, so we cannot facilitate the trading of securities. We made sure that TRX is used today as a utility. That there is a use case, that it passes the Howey Test, kind of laid out by the prior rulings of an SEC case, that’s the best we have.’’

OKCoin believes that adding TRON is extremely exciting. They are very cautious with their listings and one of the reasons to be adding TRX is because it is high in demand. The CEO of OKCoin went to meet the TRON team and said that he felt extremely comfortable and really loved their experience.

Tron will be available to trade when the markets go live and will be able to be traded against the US dollar, BTC and EThereum on the OKCoin platform.
