BTC Markets has announced the listing of the cryptocurrency Polkadot (DOT) on its platform.
In a statement on Wednesday, BTC Markets CEO Caroline Bowler said the addition of the open-source protocol’s coin ties off an extended period of significant developments for the exchange.
“We are excited to be adding another large market cap project to our exchange and are committed to providing a world-class trading experience and unparalleled peace of mind to our clients,” Ms Bowler continued.
“Account security will always be a high priority as we continue to expand the projects we offer on our platform. Polkadot is a community favourite, and we are excited to launch this coin [into the] market.”
The announcement follows “a year of growth and evolution” with BTC launching a brand refresh across its website, mobile app and social platforms.
BTC Markets stated that the addition of Polkadot to the platform rounds out a robust year of achievements.
Last month, Ms Bowler told InvestorDaily that the collapse of FTX was not a crypto issue.
“The problem is not with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency, the problem is with human behaviour,” said Ms Bowler, who worked in Dublin and Singapore for Merrill Lynch in 2008.
“My background coming into crypto had been from traditional finance, and having sat through the GFC, I knew the importance of proper governance and regulation,” she said.
At the time, she revealed that while BTC Markets may have no exposure to FTX or the FTT token, in recent weeks, the exchange has found itself doubling down on transparency and assurance.
