While Trading View is doing their part in updating the community on the coronavirus scourge, their charts are widely used as they are easy to use and interactive.
They have over 3 million users and on average each spends 16 minutes on the site. This reveals how immersive the platform is for traders.
OKEx Keen on Cementing its Position
In recent times, OKEx has been making strides, cementing its position as the leading trading platform for crypto derivatives traders.
Not only is the exchange ahead of BitMex, a popular derivative platform, but competes with Binance.
Binance has also embarked on an acquisition spree, buttressing their foundation, and making ingress in the crypto derivatives trading space.
Some of the exchange’s acquisition include CoinMarketCap, which was sold for a whopping $400 million and confirmed on April 2, JEX, which is Binance’s Futures trading wing.
A decision that spurred discourse, Lennix Lai, the Director of Financial Markets at OKEx, is urging for patience saying BINANCE should be given time even though valid questions around CMC’s independence remain unanswered.

OKEx has been aggressive on the marketing front. Keen on spreading their reach to Europe and North America, the platform now has a global reach.
Their CEO, in particular Jay Hao, has been vocal in Twitter, commenting on topical issues and sometimes tweeting and drawing the ire of competitors.
