Huobi Lite aimed at Southeast Asian crypto market
Huobi’s global spokesperson has revealed that the new app is mainly aimed at capturing the Southeast Asian market.
The platform, like much other exchange, is currently eyeing the Southeast Asian crypto space. Which they claim is currently underserved by current crypto apps.
Huobi joins the likes of Kraken, Binance, Zedpay, Okex, among others who have declared their intention to penetrate the Asian crypto space.
The spokesperson also pointed out that there are many opportunities up for grab in the Southeast Asia space.
“There aren’t many simple, user-friendly trading apps that cater to new crypto users. Huobi lite is a mobile-first economy, so we saw an opportunity,” the spokesperson said.
