According to a Coinbase announcement, the KNC owners will get the opportunity to transfer tokens to the crypto exchange on February 24, while trading will start the next day. The support of coin will be available in all jurisdictions that Coinbase Pro serves, except for New York and the UK.
Coinbase Pro will gradually add token trading pairs to the US dollar and Bitcoin.
Kyber Network is a decentralized platform that acts as an exchange and payment system. With its help, each member of the Kyber Network allows you to make transactions with cryptocurrencies without third-party participants.
The KNC team began work on their project in 2017, and after the ICO, during which they managed to raise $ 50 million, development began to proceed more actively.
KNC is a token based on Ethereum blockchain that supports a decentralized protocol for “simple and efficient exchange of cryptocurrencies.” Kyber Network allows users to integrate token swaps with tokens into decentralized applications, providing a direct exchange between all participants around the ecosystem.
Cryptocurrency Kyber Network is not the only project that offers a similar idea for implementation. But it has features that create an advantage over competitors. The main difference between KNC is the high liquidity of the instruments presented on the platform – this means that for every “seller” there will always be a “buyer” who will buy his goods. Most likely, this feature interested Coinbase Pro management, considering the project as promising.
Note that KNC is not yet available on Coinbase.com or in the exchange’s mobile applications.
