2020

It’s Icecat’s policy to strife for a further increase in liquidity during 2020. We’re hoping to see improvements in the trading system and methodology of NPEX. If we take the lessons from other funds, exchanges and also our ICY token: great environments help to improve liquidity even if absolute trading volumes are still small. Think of a proper order book functionality, allowing daily or 24×7 real-time trade, allowing 3rd party tradebots to automatically manage your orders according to your strategy, and accessing larger pools of investors.
