Over the past year, Decentralized Finance has become one of the main drivers of innovation in the crypto industry. We’ve kept a close eye on DeFi, now we’re excited to be supporting the space more directly with this (mostly) **DeFi-focused batch of new cryptocurrencies**!

We’ll be adding five new stablecoins and DeFi tokens to our exchange:

● **0x (ZRX)** – an open-source protocol that enables peer-to-peer exchange of tokens

● **Maker (MKR)** – the governance token of the Maker protocol used to stabilize the price of DAI

● **Kyber Network (KNC)** – a decentralized protocol that enables instant swaps of different tokens

● **Dai (DAI)** – a stablecoin soft-pegged to USD and stabilized by Maker Protocol’s smart contracts

● **Gemini dollar (GUSD)** – a regulated stablecoin backed by bank-held USD

All of these cryptocurrencies will **trade with zero fees until the end of May!**

1. **Transfer-only mode:** Deposits and withdrawals open but trading is not enabled yet.

ZRX, MKR, KNC: Monday, 22 FebruaryDAI, GUSD: Monday, 1 March

2. **Post-only mode**: You will be able to place and cancel limit orders, but they will not be matched. Therefore, no orders will actually be completed during this stage.
