👥 New Concordians on the Block
Welcoming Four New Stablecoins
Four major stablecoin platforms- Agant, Noon, Deep Blue, and AEDX- announced their commitment to launching natively on Concordium’s protocol, marking a major step forward for TradFi, DeFi, and expanding the blockchain’s PayFi ecosystem. These issuers pegged to three different fiat currencies in USD, GBP, and AED have chosen to leverage Concordium’s Protocol-Level Token technology, thus benefiting from being natively issued and held directly in wallets with no smart contracts.
CCD in Europe 🇪🇺!
CCD, Concordium’s native token, is live on Bitpanda, one of Europe’s most popular and trusted cryptocurrency platforms. Bitpanda users can now trade CCD, increasing the token’s accessibility and utility across the continent.
