Breaking News: Steem is now Listed on the Huobi Exchange!

Small news snippet of the day that actually may be of more importance than I originally thought, is this:

The Steem Token is now listed and trading on the Huobi Exchange!

The reason I didn't really pay all that much attention is that I always operated under the assumption that Huobi was purely a Chinese exchange, and given that there are mountains of restrictions on crypto trading in China, this news wouldn't necessarily have all that much impact on anything.

WRONG!

After poking around a little bit more, I became aware that Huobi also actively pursues the US and Western crypto market through their US based subsidiary in San Francisco, USA... which is evidently a separate company in full compliance with US exchange regulations.

Which suddenly makes it a whole lot more relevant, at least to me. You can check out the Huobi Trading Platform, here!

There's not actually a USD/STEEM trading pair; the closet thing is a USDT/STEEM trading pair... if you are into the "Tether" token.

It All Helps With Visibility!

There may not be a huge volume trading there yet, but all these "little stories" like this help add to the greater awareness of Steem and the ongoing growth of the Steem Blockchain. And the more we share them and report them, the more "established" Steem becomes in the minds of the greater world.

Does it matter?

Yes, I'd say it does, especially considering this is a time when a number of ill conceived crypto projects are being DE-listed on some exchanges.

This shows Steem as a viable and expanding project, and that has to be good for us.

Thanks for reading! If you feel this is "News Worth Spreading," re-steems for visibility are certainly appreciated!
