    WazirX (WRX) Price Soars 250% to ATH Following NFT Platform Launch

    Author: Martin Young

    Last Updated Apr 5, 2021 @ 07:12

    The native token for Indian crypto exchange WazirX has surged to a new all-time high following the news that it will be launching a NFT platform for the Indian market.

    The Binance owned WazirX exchange has been enjoying record volumes recently despite the ongoing regulatory uncertainty from Indian politicians.

    Its native token, WRX, has skyrocketed to a new all-time high on the back of news that the company will be launching its own non-fungible token platform for Indian markets.

    According to local media, WazirX has crossed $200 million in daily trading volume for the first time since its launch in March 2018. The bullish news was retweeted by Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao.

    According to exchange founder Nischal Shetty, WazirX has the highest liquidity and trading volume in the country, and the majority of its users are aged between 22 and 30. In March 2020, the exchange in partnership with Binance launched a $50 million ‘Blockchain for India’ fund to invest in crypto startups in India.

    NFTs For India

    The hype this time around stems from the news that WazirX has just announced the first NFT platform targeting Indian artists, content creators, and collectors.

    The exchange will not charge its customers for creating and listing NFTs on the platform and is working on ways to reduce the high transaction fees associated with creating and trading Ethereum based tokens. Shetty continued to elaborate:

    “It will truly transform the market in our rapidly digitizing world with a growing interest in NFT across the globe. Both digital creators and collectors stand to benefit from the WazirX NFT marketplace. As of now, we are working around certain nitty-gritty to make NFTs more lucrative for our customers.”
