The OKex exchange has announced that it will be listing the Nano coin. The exchange announced that the company’s Nano deposit took place on the 1st of February and spot trading of the currency will begin at 16:00pm, Hong Kong time, on the 2nd of February. Nano withdrawal will become available at 18:00, Hong Kong Time, on February the 5th.
\r\nThe announcement follows the company’s recent rebrand from RaiBlocks (XRB) to Nano, which took place earlier this week. The name change supposedly reflected \"the simplicity and speed of the project\", according to a blog post by a Nano employee.
\r\nNano previously received some criticism from its customers on the company\'s old name, with some claiming that they were confused about how it should be pronounced. The company felt that a name rebrand would help their target audience better relate to the brand.
\r\nThe Nano team announced that discussions on a rebrand had taken place in November, during a meeting in which the company’s future was discussed.
\r\nThe company has seen poor trading for the month of January, following issues with web wallets and customers experiencing difficulties withdrawing their currency using the Mercatox exchange. However, following the rebrand, the market value of the company\'s coin has risen to $20, from $13 on the 29th of January.
