We are listing the following cryptocurrencies:

All of these assets will trade with zero fees until the end of September!

About USDT:
Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Its value is managed by the Tether platform, which backs all USDT tokens with real USD in its reserves. It operates on top of several blockchains, like the ones of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
About Compound (COMP):
Compound (COMP) is a DeFi lending protocol that allows its users deposit supported Ethereum tokens to earn interest or take out a secured loan. It establishes markets by pooling assets and uses an algorithm to set interest rates. Holders of the COMP token can participate in Compound’s governance and vote to implement changes to the protocol.
About The Graph (GRT):
The Graph (GRT) is a decentralized protocol for indexing and querying data from blockchains. It scans various blockchain networks like a search engine and indexes data from them into arranged groups – open APIs called subgraphs that anyone can query. It is powered by the Ethereum-based GRT token.
