We are currently discussing listing with a number of global exchanges to raise the value of BOA token and build a win-win relationship. We will update you any developments in connection with this.
Besides registration on Coinmarketcap
BOA token is now listed on the global coin ranking sites including Coinmarketcap, CoinGecko, and Coinpaprika. In addition, the registration on Delta and Blockfolio, which provide global cryptocurrency portfolio services, make it easier to verify the value of BOA tokens and to manage them as cryptocurrency assets.
