IOTX Exchange Listings: A Bird's Eye View

As DePIN expands to every corner of the globe, the $IOTX token is now one of the most important assets in crypto. Launched in 2018, $IOTX is the native token of the IoTeX Network. It serves as a gas token for the IoTeX L1 blockchain and also enables holders to stake their tokens and participate in network governance. More than 200+ Dapps and ~700,000 token holders utilize the $IOTX token today, and adoption continues to grow every day. With IoTeX 2.0, the utility of $IOTX is expanding greatly -- $IOTX is used to register ioIDs (on-chain identities) for devices, pay for zero-knowledge proofs via W3bstream (off-chain compute), restake $IOTX to participate in the Modular Security Pool (MSP). Demand for $IOTX from developers, users, and investors has never been higher!

Some important facts about the $IOTX token:

  • As of 2022, the $IOTX token is fully circulating with no future token unlocks
  • Over 40% of the total supply of $IOTX is staked on-chain for governance
  • $IOTX trading volume is peaking with more than $9 billion traded in the past year
  • There are 150+ trading pairs on CEX/DEX supporting $IOTX spot and perpetuals
  • Users can purchase $IOTX in 180+ countries making it a truly global asset

IoTeX is committed to not only expanding the utility of $IOTX, but also making $IOTX available to users, developers, and institutions worldwide through exchange listings. Crypto is truly a global movement, and there has been an exciting wave of top-tier exchanges around the world listing $IOTX every month. This blog provides an overview of all of the centralized exchanges (CEXs) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) where users can purchase and trade $IOTX.

Centralized Exchanges (Spot)

Since the $IOTX token was launched in 2018, centralized exchanges (CEX) across the world have listed $IOTX, enabling people from 180+ countries to join the IoTeX ecosystem. The most sought after exchanges listings are spot listings, referring to the trading of cryptocurrencies at their current market prices, as opposed to perpetuals/derivatives which derive their value from future market prices. IoTeX has received spot listings of $IOTX from the largest exchanges in the world, with deep liquidity and a variety of trading pairs, which we summarize below:

For a full list of $IOTX spot listings, please see CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, or IoTeX Hub.

Centralized Exchanges (Perpetual Futures)

In crypto trading, perpetual futures (or "perps") are a type of derivative that allow traders to speculate on the future price of cryptocurrencies without needing to own the actual asset. This allows traders to "go long" (betting price will rise) or "go short" (betting price will fall) on an asset with leverage. Perps are popular with traders, as many exchanges allow significant amounts of leverage to make concentrated directional bets.Perps for the $IOTX token are currently available on some of the largest exchanges in the world, including our most recent perps listing on Kraken. Some of the top exchanges by perp volume for $IOTX include: Binance, Bybit, Bitget, Kucoin, Gate.io, MEXC, LBank, and Phemex.

Perps listings are often seen as a stepping stone towards spot listings for exchanges. We look forward to expanding our perps listings to more exchanges, as well as including spot listings on existing $IOTX perps exchanges like Kraken and Bybit in the future.

Decentralized Exchanges

While centralized exchanges (CEXs) often provide the deepest liquidity for traders, many opt for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to keep custody and control of their tokens instead of depositing them to CEXs. DEXs are essentially Dapps that enable users to connect their wallets and trade directly using on-chain orderbooks. The $IOTX token has deep on-chain liquidity on the IoTeX blockchain through mimo and other DEXs, as well as liquidity on DEXs hosted on other L1 chains including Ethereum, Polygon, and Binance Chain via cross-chain versions of $IOTX (e.g., CIOTX).

  • mimo (IoTeX): the top DEX on IOTX by liquidity supports over 100+ assets including $IOTX, enabling users to swap freely with more than $20M in on-chain liquidity
  • OKX DEX: a popular DEX aggregator by OKX supports the IoTeX Network, enabling millions of OKX users to purchase $IOTX from the OKX Wallet
  • Uniswap (Ethereum): IOTX-E (ERC20 version of $IOTX) and CIOTX (cross-chain IOTX) are available for trading on Uniswap, the most popular DEX in the crypto industry
  • Uniswap (Polygon): CIOTX (cross-chain IOTX) is available for trading on Polygon via Uniswap
  • PancakeSwap (Binance Chain): IOTX-bsc (Binance Chain version of $IOTX) and CIOTX (cross-chain IOTX) are available for trading on PancakeSwap, the most popular DEX on Binance Chain

Credit Card Purchases

One more convenient option for users to acquire $IOTX tokens is through various fiat on/off ramp partners, which enable users to purchase $IOTX using credit card. This provides a convenient approach for users that are new to crypto to make their first credit card purchases. Partners that enable credit card purchases include: ChangeNow, Onramp.Money, Alchemy Pay, Changelly, Guardarian, and TRANSAK.

What's Next?

Throughout 2024, the IoTeX team worked extremely hard to get $IOTX listed on more centralized exchanges to bring IoTeX to every country and trader in the world. We are excited to report that regardless of what country you live in, there is an exchange for you to purchase $IOTX tokens! But we aren't finished – we will continue to work with top exchanges globally to get $IOTX listed and provide deeper liquidity for a great trading experience. Let's bring IoTeX and the $IOTX token to the masses!
