South Korean bitcoin exchange Bithumb has announced on their official twitter page that it has added support for Waves and ChainLink (LINK) tokens. To celebrate the event, the exchange is offering to reimburse users with 1% of waves and chainlink upon a deposit.
Earlier, Bithumb has re-opened the registration for new users which was halted on July 31 due to the need to “improve the service”. Local sources, however, claimed that the real reason behind the move was a conflict between the platform and a bank regarding the terms of their contract which arose after a successful cyber attack in which $31 million was stolen.
Why it is important
- Waves rose in price on the backdrop of the news, securing an 8% increase in price to $2.41 but then dropped to $2.24.
- ChainLink, on the other hand, has seen a 10% increase and is being traded at around $0.3.
