GalaChain is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking partnership for our ecosystem: The first centralized exchange integration of GalaChain.
GalaChain main net is now integrated with Bitrue, one of our earliest and most trusted exchange partners. This move signals a new era for Gala users that will make the trading and management of GalaChain tokens more efficient and secure.
With Bitrue’s robust infrastructure and user-friendly platform, Gala community members can now exchange $GALA for a variety of tokens without the need for bridging to Ethereum.
What This Means for the Gala Community
No Bridging Necessary
While bridging $GALA to Ethereum was previously required for activity across the dozens of crypto exchanges that list the token, this Bitrue integration is essentially the first $GALA (GalaChain) listing on a centralized exchange. Instead of paying a bridge fee and moving their tokens to a different blockchain ecosystem, users can now deposit GalaChain $GALA into their Bitrue accounts, where it can be exchanged for any of the following cryptocurrencies:
- USDC
- USD-T
- BTC
- BTR
- XRP
Until now, the decentralized exchange protocol at GalaConnect (formerly known as GalaSwap) has been the only way for GalaChain users to exchange GalaChain tokens with one another.
Native GalaChain Support on Bitrue
One of the most exciting aspects of this partnership is the possibility to integrate other tokens from the GalaChain ecosystem in the future. Now, all Bitrue users can essentially take advantage of a built-in GalaChain wallet on the platform. The addition of this feature to Bitrue’s streamlined exchange platform will allow for new users to discover GalaChain with unprecedented convenience.
Expanded Trading Options
Bitrue already offers Ethereum-based $GALA exchange pairings with BTC, XRP, USDT, BTR, and USDC. With this GalaChain integration, GalaChain-based $GALA can now be exchanged for any of those tokens on Bitrue.
As $GALA and the GalaChain ecosystem continue moving toward full decentralization as outlined in the GalaChain Decentralization White Paper, look for additional opportunities to exchange GalaChain tokens without leaving the chain.
Why Bitrue?
Bitrue has been a trusted partner for Gala since its early days, and their platform continues to deliver on what matters most to our community: security, versatility and ease of use. With features like Power Piggy for passive income, spot and futures trading and low transaction fees, Bitrue offers a robust environment for all types of crypto traders and holders. Their user-friendly interface, combined with advanced tools for experienced traders, makes them the perfect first exchange to offer GalaChain support.
