Switcheo, a decentralized exchange built on NEO (NEO), is in the process of adding USD quoted markets using the SDUSD stablecoin through a partnership with Alchemint.

We are happy to announce that the highly anticipated USD quote currency for NEO blockchain is finally here!https://t.co/HEi4mCgXEb#SwitchtoSwitcheo #Switcheo $SWTH $SDUSD — Switcheo (@SwitcheoNetwork) December 27, 2018



According to a recent announcement, Switcheo has started by listing NEO/SDUSD and plans to roll-out more trading pairs for tokens which have strong liquidity. SDUSD is a smart contract-based stablecoin that is issued by Alchemint on the NEO blockchain and carries a 1:1 peg with the USD.

As part of the SDUSD launch, trading pairs for GAS and SWTH have been halted and will be removed entirely January 3.

This news comes roughly a month after Switcheo listed 19 new ERC-20 tokens after launching its Callisto protocol update for interoperability a week prior. The launch of Callisto made Switcheo the first non-custodian exchange to support both the NEO and Ethereum blockchains.

Switcheo’s SWTH token is currently down 17.3% to $0.004037, giving it a market cap of $2.1 million.
