The exchange stated that users could start depositing Axelar coins, adding that the first phase of introducing the alt to the Bitcoin Market will have some rules to boost security. For instance, Upbit will restrict buy orders during the initial five minutes and limit sell orders depending on the past day’s closing price.
Furthermore, the exchange advises traders to consider investment risks before trading any cryptocurrency, including AXL. Digital coins remain vulnerable to sharp price movements. For instance, cryptos can witness wild fluctuations due to regulatory changes and theoretical demand.
Meanwhile, Upbit showed its commitment to ensuring a secure environment for investors. The exchange emphasized that users should investigate massive funds movement from unknown sources.
Integrating Axelar underscores Upbit’s dedication to offering its users diversified opportunities in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency industry.
