Tim Bynn, the CEO of OKCoin shared an official comment on listing the five important digital currencies stating: “we are very pleased to welcome these five new cryptocurrencies and all of the communities that trade them. As we build out the broadest set of financial products on a globally regulated exchange, we are committed to expanding the trading pairs for our customers, while bringing tokens to the exchange that offer utility, value and demonstrable use cases.

Furthermore, the exchanger is reportedly in the process of applying for a new license called Money Transmittal Licenses in the remaining states of the country. Once the licence is obtained by the exchanger, the platform will be able to offer crypto-to-crypto and fiat-crypto trading. In addition, it will be able to open trading in the additional states as the legal aspects are covered. The company promised to make a separate announcement regarding this in the future.
