Popular cryptocurrency exchange Kraken has listed ICX, the native asset of the interoperability-focused ICON blockchain network. On Kraken, the coin will receive pairs with BTC, ETH, USD and EUR. Trading will kick off on around 13:30 UTC today (September 12).

Even though ICX is already listed on many cryptocurrency exchanges, the listing is notable for ICX as it gives the coin direct fiat currency pairings.

At the moment, the ICON platform is holding a pre-voting period for “P-Reps”, the top 22 of which will act as validators on the ICON network. Users vote for their preferred candidates by staking their ICX. The pre-voting period will last until September 24, and will be followed by the actual election. To further incentivize users to be active in the platform’s P-Rep pre-voting period, the ICON Foundation designated a prize pool of 3 million ICX to be distributed amongst voters.

ICON is the most notable blockchain project to come out of South Korea, although the token has taken quite a substantial hit in the 2018 bear market alongside most other altcoins. While ICX is down a stunning -98% from its $12.94 all-time high, its still trading at about double its ICO price of around $0.11.

ICX has seen a nice little boost from the Kraken listing announcement, with the price seeing a +5.6% bump. Perhaps the coin could have seen a bigger boost if the crypto market was in a more bullish phase, as the total crypto market cap has remained mostly flat in the last 24 hours with many altcoins declining in value.
