What is Alpha Trading?
Alpha trading refers to the buying and selling of crypto assets at the current market price. Alpha currently does not support any order types other than market order.
In Alpha trading, users have ownership of the crypto assets they purchase. For example, when you use USDT to purchase the token "quq" on Alpha, the "quq" will be credited to your Alpha account once the order is executed.
Alpha trading typically involves two main directions:
-
Buy: You use USDT to purchase another crypto asset.
-
Sell: You sell a crypto asset back to USDT.
What are Ondo Tokenized Securities?
Tokenized securities are digital representations of traditional stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that reflect the price performance of their underlying assets on-chain. They are intended to provide exposure to the value of the underlying assets rather than direct ownership. Consequently, holders do not receive all shareholder rights, such as voting rights.
Ondo Tokenized Securities are provided by Ondo, a blockchain-based platform focused on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), such as securities and ETFs.
Ondo Tokenized Securities are made available to users via KuCoin Alpha. For more information about Ondo Finance and tokenized securities, please visit the official website: https://ondo.finance.

Users are only allowed to buy and sell on KuCoin Alpha Zone.
