OKX lists INJ, burn auction continues

OKX added support for Injective (INJ) on November 30, opening deposits for INJ/USDT at 6 am UTC. The token opened for spot trading at 10 am UTC.

The Injective team also announced that the community burned $65,000 worth of tokens (3,986.52 INJ), adding to the weekly burns that have been carried out every Wednesday since mainnet launch in 2021. The weekly burn accounts for 60% of all dApps fees.

With today’s gains, which came after the latest burn action and listing of INJ for spot trading by crypto exchange OKX, its likely further upside could bring the ATH of $24.89 reached in April 2021 into view. That price is now just 28% away, going by the price of $18.06 at the time of writing.
