Decentralized financeDecentralized finance (DeFi) tokens are making their way to centralized exchanges, blurring the lines between competing ideologies in the world of cryptocrypto.
Crypto exchange OKEx announced today the listing of Synthetix’ SNX token. The Synthetix DeFi protocol facilitates the issuance and trading of synthetic assets like cryptocurrencies, stocks, gold, and other real world assets using ERC20 tokenstokens.
The listing comes as DeFiDeFi takes the crypto world by storm—growing from a $1 billion industry to $3 billion within two months—potentially drawing in new users and institutional uptake as the market continues to boom.
SNX will be listed on @OKEx against USDT and BTC!
Deposits will go live at 4:00am, July 24. Spot trading will be enabled from 7:00am, July 24. Withdrawals will be available at 9:00am on July 27. (All times are in UTC.)https://t.co/KOYDVXBDE6
— Synthetix ⚔️ (@synthetix_io) July 24, 2020
Founded in 2018, the Synthetix platform unlocks on-chain exposure to any asset, allowing users to lock SNX tokens to mint tradable ‘Synth’ assets like synthetic Bitcoin (sBTC) or synthetic USD (sUSD). The protocol allows users to gain exposure to assets without actually holding them, reducing friction for transfers and improving censorship resistance.
Synthetix's SNX token is currently trading for around $3.30 and is up nearly 4% on the day. Its price has increased by more than 75% in the last 30 days.
Malta-based OKEx shares a founder with the OKCoin exchange in Chinese investor Star Xu. OKEx is focused on professional traders, offering futures and derivatives products as well as trading markets for dozens of digital assets. In terms of Bitcoin futures trading, OKEx is second only to Huobi, pulling in roughly $1.35 billion in daily volume, according to data from Skew analytics.
By contrast, OKCoin offers about half a dozen tradable assets and provides additional instructions and guidelines for less experienced crypto users to get started trading. OKEx is currently ranked #17 in total volume by CoinGecko, while OKCoin is ranked #60.
"We are very glad to see so many high-quality DeFi applications like Synthetix standing out in 2020 and have long been paying attention to and promoting the development of DeFi,” OKEx CEO Jay Hao said.
“When listing any new token, in addition to considering the project's compliance, team, and other conventional perspectives, the project's utility and user expectations are also important indicators. SNX ticks all of these boxes and OKEx is pleased to support popular projects like it.”
I started my career working in structured products, which are complex derivatives, often matched with cash investments (bonds). We liked to joke that we sold people math equations. The reality wasn’t far from that. Why am I telling you this? This week we’re looking at Synthetix, which describes itself as a “decentralized synthetic asset platform that provides on-chain exposure to real-world currencies, commodities, stocks, and indices.” That sounds like a math equation in itself. Before moving o...
The growth of DeFi has become the standout story in cryptocurrency circles in recent months, making it impossible for industry incumbents like centralized exchanges to ignore their emerging decentralizeddecentralized competitors.
In addition to OKEx, SNX can be traded on Bianance and Poloniex, both top 10 exchanges in terms of total volume on CoinGecko. OKEx lists several other DeFi tokens as well, including lending protocol Compound’s COMP and open finance platform Celo’s CELO tokens.
“OKEx believes that this is just the beginning of the DeFi era,” Hao said.

Solana decentralized exchange Raydium has deployed its native token launchpad, which is designed to rival the popular Pump.fun. This comes almost a month after Pump.fun deployed its own decentralized exchange, cutting ties with Raydium in the process. LaunchLab by Raydium offers a more sophisticated token creation process, compared to Pump.fun’s simplistic approach. The new launchpad allows for deployers to toy with the token supply, how many tokens will be sold on the bonding curve, and how muc...
A desperate man commits an act of self-inflicted violence on a livestreaming site in the hopes of collecting a windfall of digital money from strangers. Sound familiar? No, we’re not talking about outrageous exploits related to meme coin trading sensation Pump.fun. Or well, not explicitly. We’re outlining the plot of an episode in the latest season of “Black Mirror.” The first installment of the hit Netflix sci-fi series’ latest season, which debuted Thursday, centers on a plot that appears rip...
Decentralized exchange Hyperliquid delisted perpetual futures for the Solana-based meme coin JELLYJELLY on Wednesday, describing the move as critical to ensuring its network’s integrity amid a looming liquidation crisis. Hyperliquid uses its own high-speed blockchain, built upon the Ethereum layer-2 network Arbitrum, and the project said its networks’ validators had convened to take “decisive action,” in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The decision came after a Hyperliquid user opened a $6 milli...
