Switcheo has already made one of the major decentralized exchanges on NEO. In addition to this, the other products of Switcheo include TradeHub, a trading side-chain, and a decentralized exchange on Zilliqa.
Investors have not only provided their support through making an investment but they will also be supporting Switcheo in the promotion of its brand. They will help the platform to gain more users as well as to roll out new DeFi products.
While commenting on this investment, the portfolio manager and founder of DeFiance Arthur Cheong said in a statement that they are thrilled to invest in the company as he said Switcheo has the capability to capture the decentralized derivatives market. He said:
“We believe decentralized derivatives will be one of the next major DeFi primitives to take off and Switcheo will be well-positioned to capture this market. We are excited to back them as one of the best builders in this space.”
