According to Band Protocol CEO, Soravis Srinwakoon, the listing “will bring Band Protocol into the view of over 400,000+ users who will increase the overall awareness and liquidity of BAND”. In the official post on Medium, WazirX informed that BAND token would be initially available for trading only in the USDT market, though the expansion in the future is definitely expected.
Also, the user will neither be able to deposit the BAND token from other wallets nor can they withdraw BAND from the WazirX wallet. However, these features will be made available in the near future.
