The exchange’s team advised customers to make sure they have sufficient risk management and do their own research on the characteristics of the project to understand it before deciding to start trading.

What is known about the Innovation Zone? It allows trading new tokens, which, compared to other assets, have more volatility and, as a consequence, carry higher risks. In order to trade in this designated zone, users need to fill out an application for assuming all risks (“Initial Disclaimer”). In addition, no restrictions are imposed on trading pairs in this zone.

What is known about Liquity? It is a decentralized lending platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. Liquity accepts ETH as collateral and provides Liquity USD (LUSD), a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. LQTY is the platform’s utility token. According to the project’s website, Liquity has $598,66 million in total value locked (TVL).
