By taking every possible measure, OKEx strives to ensure every listed project delivers practical use cases and brings in market liquidity. "Hedera and OKEx share the same goal of building a trusted, safe, and fair digital future for everyone through developing a neutral, open-access infrastructure.

We are excited to support the Hedera platform and continue to lead this industry forward," said Andy Cheung, Head of Operations of OKEx. "Hbars play a crucial role in the function, growth, and security of the Hedera network, and it is important that they are available to those who wish to use or create applications on the network," said Edgar Seah, Head of Asia Pacific for Hedera Hashgraph. "OKEx's focus on listing projects with practical uses cases is in line with our belief that making coins easily accessible to developers is important for the development of decentralized ledger platforms such as Hedera.
