Luno, a digital currency exchange facility that offers clients a technology platform to store and trade cryptocurrencies, has expanded its crypto offerings by adding two new digital currencies Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA) to its portfolio.
The company disclosed that following these new additions, users can now trade Cardano (ADA) on the Luno app and website, alongside its existing cryptocurrency offerings.
It further disclosed that Solana (SOL) will be made available on the platform from next month October to enable users trade the digital asset.
Cardano (ADA) is reportedly one of the biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap, which has been described as the third-generation blockchain following Bitcoin and Ethereum which are known as the first and second generation blockchain.
Also, Solana (SOL) has been described as one of the best-performing digital currencies in recent years, known to have one of the fastest blockchain in the world and the fastest growing ecosystem in crypto.
Speaking on the company’s latest addition of the two new digital assets to its platform, General Manager for Africa at Luno Marius Reitz said, “As big advocates of building for the long term, we believe it’s important to give customers access to newer crypto applications that have a promising future.
“Now, not only do customers have access to ADA and SOL, but they also have the peace of mind that comes with the rigorous security that customers rely on from Luno.
“In a world that can look complex, we want to break down the complications around cryptocurrencies to make it easy for people to buy, send, store, and learn about.
“Customers don’t need to make one large investment to get started but can build and grow their investment over time through smaller amounts – similar to how they make contributions to their pension for example.”
Reitz concluded by saying, while the two added digital assets Cardano and Solana meet Luno standards for safety, however, being listed on the platform is not an endorsement of its future potential as an investment, noting the fact that investors are always advised to conduct their research.
