Horizon Protocol, a leading decentralized derivatives platform, has set the stage for a exciting future with the approval of proposal HIP-16. This paves the way for the listing of three major cryptocurrencies: XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Chainlink (LINK) on its flagship Horizon Futures platform.
Get Ready to Trade XRP, ADA, and LINK with Up to 27.5x Leverage
The news, announced via an X post, highlights the upcoming availability of these tokens for trading on Thursday. Users are encouraged to prepare and open accounts to take advantage of the low fees and high leverage (up to 27.5x) offered by Horizon Protocol.
This listing marks a significant step for Horizon Protocol’s mission to democratize access to real-world assets through synthetic derivatives. The community’s involvement in approving HIP-16 is acknowledged, underlining Horizon’s commitment to collaborative growth.
Horizon views the addition of XRP, ADA, and LINK as a strategic move, allowing users to diversify their portfolios with established and well-respected cryptocurrencies. This aligns with the platform’s goal of enriching available trading opportunities.
Seamless Integration and Ongoing Monitoring
While the launch date is set for Thursday, Horizon acknowledges the need for system adjustments to ensure a smooth integration of these new tokens into Horizon Futures. The team will closely monitor their performance to inform future enhancements and potential listings.
Building a Robust DeFi Trading Ecosystem
At its core, Horizon Protocol leverages peer-to-peer technology to empower DeFi traders. The platform boasts low fees, zero slippage, and borderless trading of synthetic assets. Users can access a variety of swaps and perpetual futures contracts for real-world assets (RWA) such as fiat currencies and commodities.
Following the Footsteps of Success: Building on Solana’s Momentum
The XRP, ADA, and LINK listings come on the heels of another major milestone for Horizon. In late June, the platform successfully integrated Solana (SOL) after the approval of HIP-15. This addition capitalized on the surging demand for SOL, with its synthetic asset (zSOL) projected to become the fourth-largest on Horizon’s spot exchange.
With the addition of these prominent tokens, Horizon Protocol is poised to become an even more attractive destination for DeFi derivatives traders seeking a diversified and user-friendly platform.
