AscendEX Competitive Advantages

1. Exclusive Access to High-Quality Project Listing

Building on the strategic alignment with leading blockchain projects from digital asset ecosystems, we have pioneered a holistic approach to pre-listing screening, listing strategy, and post-listing advisory support in order to provide exclusive, premium listings to our users. Our rigorous due diligence process aims to identify high-quality listing candidates based on multiple business and valuation factors, including project’s viable business model and value proposition, healthy token economics, a growing user base, strong community support, and reliable funding sources. As part of our integrated go-market listing strategy, we provide both primary and follow-on listings with comprehensive support, spanning over marketing, communities, infrastructure support, and liquidity provision. This comprehensive structure allows projects to focus on building utility and fundamental value while AscendEX manages the rest for optimized return.

2. Robust Compliance and Risk Management Focus

A strong compliance mindset and robust risk management have always been our strategic priority. We have been keeping a very close eye on global regulatory development, market trends, and blockchain project innovation. As a result, we are consistently working to upgrade our risk management and compliance programs,

Asset security is an integral part of our service. We have partnered with independent security companies for regular smart contract audits and security tests.

Our Rebranding

On March 22, 2021, our new brand, AscendEX, officially launched with subsequent major platform upgrades in brand logo design, user interface and functionality improvements, trading product design, platform token ecosystems, service support model, and risk management infrastructure.

Our new brand name not only seeks inspiration from the recent rise and global adoption of digital assets, but also expresses our aspiration toward helping users benefit from this new asset class and supporting the advancement of the blockchain industry. The Chinese name "顶峰", inherits the connotation of the English name, and also reflects the new brand's future goals. With a new starting point, we strive to be a leading digital asset financial platform by building upon the core advantages of a centralized trading platform with further DeFi integration, ultimately ascending to the height of the digital asset industry.
