Chinese digital asset exchange Bibox announced at 1400 Beijing Time (UTC +8) on 25th January that they have added another new currency on their trading platform. Two hours later they were offering open deposits and withdrawals on Bloom tokens (BLT), with a 50,000BLT give-away as a prize incentive.
Bibox completed their ICO in October 2017 with a total token issue of 500 million, although though not all of these were sold. The initial circulation quantity was 271,520,349 BIX, at a value of US$0.17. At press time, a supply of 105,253,066 BIX was circulating, valued at $1.29 each. The total market capitalisation for BIX stands at US$135,511,217, and the token price is up 7.37% on 24 hour volume.
The Bibox site opened for trading on November 24th, 2017, with trading pairs BIX/BTC and BIX/ETH. TNB was added two days later, EOS on December 2nd and various other currencies throughout December and January.
