CEX.IO Ecosystem Updates: August 2022

In August, many digital asset enthusiasts resigned themselves to the fact that cryptocurrencies have entered a bear market. However, crypto events expected in the coming months are inspiring some market participants that the existing narrative around the market is poised to shift. On our end, we continue to work on improving our ecosystem of services and developing new options and opportunities for users at every stage of their crypto journey.

This month, we focused on educating our users about the current state of the crypto landscape. By revealing the opportunities that accompany a bear market and describing the various tools available that could mitigate its effects, our aim is to guide the CEX.IO community through these difficult times. In addition, we introduced new promotions, features, and special offers to invigorate the ecosystem and help our customers choose the right path among shifting financial realities. 

Below, we’ve assembled company updates, recent accomplishments, and events, as well as ongoing promotions for users to remain informed and included in CEX.IO’s ongoing advancements.
