AAX Crypto Exchange Token Launch Overview

Building unique financial instruments for both retail and institutional traders, AAX plans to pour traditional financial market sophistication into crypto markets. As the market continues to mature, institutional-grade platforms like AAX excite investors. It is a next-generation crypto exchange and the first one to use the same matching engine as London Stock Exchange. With this, it targets to direct more global capital from stock and gold markets to crypto markets.

Apart from that, it offers perpetual contracts and fiat on and off ramping. The sophisticated set-up also supports perpetual contracts trading with up to 100x leverage.

In the near future, AAX plans to launch unique financial instruments to support the deeper engagement of global finance and crypto markets. Additionally, the platform intends to tumefy on perpetual contracts, tokenized commodities, options, indices, security tokens, and altcoins. But before all that can happen, AAX is launching its native AAB token this month.

Let’s take a  deep dive into the dynamics of this token that is deeply integrated with AAX’s current and forthcoming products.

AAB token launch

AAB IEO participation criteria

To participate in the AAB IEO, one must be a registered AAX user and must subscribe to the sale. A successful subscription will, however, be subject to KYC level 1 clearance by the users. Additionally, the offer price related to the subscription period for the AAB IEO has to be paid in USDT.

AAB token aggressive push

The daily buybacks and coin burns of the trading fees earned by the AAX futures market will lead to a consistent reduction in the supply of AAB. Additionally, any AAB bought back from the market will be burned and will be audited. This will continue up to the burning of 25 million AAB tokens.

Once the subscription period ends, the participants will receive a specific number of tokens in the AAX wallet. Moreover, it is a proprietary wallet system that offers investors a highly flexible trading ecosystem. They can trade using a single balance across spot, futures and OTC markets.

As AAX claims, AAB is set to act as a bridge between the expanding crypto and global market. This will play a pivotal role in AAX achieving its plans to create deeper liquidity pools. The platform aims to do so by directing pension funds, institutional funds, hedge funds to the crypto markets. And that is when the crypto market will attain full maturity and be ready for mass adoption.
