Kraken, a major US cryptocurrency exchange , said on Tuesday that Bifrost (BNC), Bonfida (FIDA) and Origin Protocol (OGN) are now listed for residents of the United States and Canada. According to the press release, the tokens were available in most countries.
Now, funding and trading in both Canada and the US are live, Kraken commented. Deposits require at least 20 confirmations for all these digital assets, except for FIDA, which is almost instant and is also available in the Kraken Pro interface.
Bonfida is a blockchain decentralized application that is built on the open-source Serum trading protocol. In addition to offering additional features and chart views, Bonfida offers APIs to provide a more comprehensive trading interface. FIDA can be used to pay transaction fees, earn stake rewards, or gain access to Bonfida's exclusive features.
Also, the Bifrost network offers staking liquidity to anyone accessing it. The Bifrost platform allows users to stake any cryptocurrency, such as DOT or ETH, and receive a vToken of equal value in return. Users can then use vTokens to access decentralized finance applications, while receiving staking rewards for their original crypto assets. Lastly, Origin Protocol is an online marketplace built on Ethereum that facilitates the exchange of goods, services and most significantly, non-fungible tokens (NFTs). The Origin Tokens (OGN) are staked and can be voted on by holders.
Kraken is set to launch more tokens in the near future, although its policy says they should not disclose any information until shortly before the launch.
Kraken NFT Waitlist Launch
The US crypto exchange recently announced that it had opened the official waitlist for Kraken NFT, its official NFT marketplace. Crypto traders will not pay any blockchain network fees for trading activities taking place within the platform since they will not have gas fees on trades on the new platform.
