OKX Expands Cryptocurrency Portfolio, Lists Rising Solana-based Memecoins WIF and MEW

Cryptocurrency exchange OKX is seizing the opportunity to engage with the current memecoin trend by adding notable Solana-based tokens like Dogwifhat (WIF) and Cat in a Dog’s World (MEW) to its trading platform.

The exchange has initiated spot trading for WIF and MEW, as revealed in their latest announcement on X. OKX customers are now able to deposit these tokens for trading against the Tether stablecoin.

The schedule for trading these tokens was detailed in the announcement: “WIF spot trading will open at 9:00 am UTC on April 15, or one hour after MEW spot trading was launched.”

It also stated that withdrawals for both tokens will become available at 10:00 am UTC the following day.

WIF and MEW have shown rapid growth within the memecoin market, with transactions amounting to millions of dollars daily.

Both coins utilize the Solana blockchain, which currently outpaces competitors like Ethereum and Avalanche in terms of network use and popularity, spurred by the memecoin phenomenon.
