“Bittrex continues to support innovative technology and business models on the Blockchain , and we’re proud of the growing variety of options we provide our users, said Bill Shihara, CEO and co-founder of Bittrex. “Each token is vetted thoroughly before we add it to Bittrex, and fair price discovery of tokens helps secure these networks and demonstrate market support in their use cases.”
Bittrex says it supports both new and established Cryptocurrencies , providing users with a growing selection of investing and trading opportunities. The exchange assures clients it conducts compliance audits on all new coin launches, verifying that users have the information they need to make informed decisions.
