Andy Cheung, Head of Operations of OKEx, said:
"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. With such a powerful, enterprise-grade ledger technology, we believe it is a big step forward in the mainstream adoption of decentralization. We are excited to support the Hedera platform and continue to lead this industry forward."
Edgar Seah, Head of Asia Pacific for Hedera Hashgraph, also commented saying:
“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. 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. We are pleased that OKEx has chosen to integrate us into their platform."
