How to become a AscendEX affiliate

What Is AscendEX?

AscendEX is a global digital asset financial platform founded by a group of Wall Street quantitative trading veterans in 2018, building on core value of “Efficiency, Resilience and Transparency.” The global cryptocurrency exchange platform serves both retail and institutional clients in more than 200 regions. A rebranding effort was set in motion on March 22, 2021, as part of an initiative to become the leading financial platform for cryptocurrencies, combining the strengths of a centralized trading platform with DeFi.

Driven by its continuous product development and early-mover advantage in strategic alignment with the DeFi ecosystem, AscendEX offers trading services across over 200 trading pairs across cash, margin, and futures products, in particular margin trading of over 50 tokens in cross-asset collateral mode and futures trading in both cross-asset and isolated margin modes.

On December 11, 2021, malicious actors managed to access the exchange’s hot wallets, reportedly stealing $77.7 million across three chains – Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Polygon.
