VeChain’s (VET) Value Benefiting from Vexchange
Having a decentralized exchange on the VeChain network means that developers, investors and traders can swap new tokens that power decentralized applications. With this DEX, VeChain is very much on a path towards entering the DeFi realm alongside industry heavyweights such as Ethereum and Tron.
In the case of the latter networks, the DeFi explosion of Q3 2020 has led to both ETH and TRX benefiting positively in the crypto markets due to the increased network activity. This means that a similar fate awaits VeChain (VET) once building on the network gathers additional momentum due to the availability of Vexchange to swap tokens that govern DeFi protocols.
Such new DeFi tokens are usually not initially listed on major exchanges due to the risks involved. Therefore, a DEX such as Vexchange provides an avenue for investors with a high-risk appetite to trade them.
