Our client engagement specialists cannot answer any questions about which assets we may be listing in the future. Trade with caution Limit orders are recommended when trading starts since the markets may be illiquid initially. Be extremely careful with market orders and orders that trigger market orders (e.g. stop loss). Invest with caution Listing an asset or token for trade is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or participate in the associated network. Do your own research and invest at your own risk.Share this: - Twitter - Facebook - Like this:Like Loading...
