Nevertheless, merchants and builders up to now don’t appear .
First introduced in September, the H-token sequence promised to carry a variety of belongings to Ethereum. Huobi CIO and head of Huobi DeFi Labs, Sharlyn Wu, stated in a press launch that the choices could be geared toward empowering the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem with a broad vary of collateralized wrapped belongings.
