CEX.IO Lists Litecoin (LTC)

CEX.IO London, the United Kingdom, October 1, 2018 — Following customer requests and recent technical improvements, CEX.IO enables Litecoin trading for its clients.

Litecoin will now use CEX.IO’s new and improved infrastructure with multi-signature wallets and streamlined operations.

“While we’ve always recognized the importance of Litecoin to the crypto economy, back in 2017 we had to stop supporting Litecoin and prioritize the upgrading of our platform to respond to the growing market. Now that we’ve advanced our infrastructure and our security procedures, we are ready to reintroduce Litecoin. Its addition will augment the trading experience for both retail and professional traders on CEX.IO” — Oleksandr Lutskevych, CEO of CEX.IO.

For the first four weeks, starting from October 1, 2018, trading LTC/BTC and LTC/USD pairs will incur zero fees.
