July was another eventful month for Wootrade, hitting a total of 50 assets listed on WOO X and the institutional network, plus key tech updates leading up to the WOO X launch on August 20th.

The WOO Token

Wootrade completed their monthly WOO token burn on July 10th with 121k WOO forever removed from the total supply, bringing the total burn across the first half of 2021 close to 8 million tokens. The burn can be found in this transaction:

AscendEX launched a WOO perpetual futures contract, WOO-PERP, denominated in USDT, allowing users to trade WOO with up to 50x leverage.

July also saw Bitrue’s listing of WOO/USDT, as well as a unique mining opportunity, where users staked their WOO for 7 days to mine either WOO or BTR at anywhere from 50% up to 90% APR

Tradfi products make a splash into the deepest liquidity pool of crypto, with Index Finance bringing the WOO token into their DEGEN index, selected through a snapshot vote.

SIL Finance brings more opportunities for WOO holders to passively earn on their investment, with their WOO/BNB mining pool on their SIL hedging mode.
