XT.com to List MakerDAO’s DAI (April 20)

XT.com will list the stablecoin DAI next wednesday, opening with BTC/DAI, ETH/DAI, MKR/DAI, USDT/DAI, and TRX/DAI pairs. DAI is a very popular stablecoin in the DeFi space, with users able to generate it using the Maker protocol, a stable store of value that exists wholly on the blockchain.
DAI is a decentralized stable coin that is not issued or maintained by any centralized participant, intermediary, or counterparty that threatens to lose trust. It is non-discriminatory and is not restricted by national borders; anyone can use it anywhere. Overcollateralization is used to generate every DAI, and the collateral is escrowed in an audited and publicly available ETH smart contract.
MakerDAO has become an essential part of decentralized finance, with hundreds of coin partners and one of the most significant developer communities, and now XT.com users (both of them) will be able to trade in and out of it on the platform.
