Apart from offering a host of best-in-class trading features and charting tools that facilitate peer-to-peer financing, OTC trade, and margin trading, Bitfinex also supports innovation in the world of crypto.

They also enjoy the provisions of modifying their order properties and annotating them to their trading strategy. You can integrate all these features of Bitfinex to your products and platforms through the Bitfinex REST and Websocket. 

Bitfinex Token

The token UNUS SED LEO was developed as a token meant to empower the Bitfinex community. It provides utility for those seeking to maximize the output and capabilities of the platform. It allows users to save money on their trading fees. The discounts vary depending on how much LEO the user has in his/her account and whether the trading pair is crypto-to-crypto or crypto-to-stablecoin. Although the circulating supply of LEO tokens would be diminishing over time, it was originally set at 1 billion. One of the most enticing aspects about LEO is that, unlike many other cryptocurrencies, LEO tokens were issued on two blockchains with 64% of the original supply on Ethereum and 36% on EOS.
