The first ever stablecoin that got listed was UDST and also had its first successful token-swap for QTUM cryptocurrency.

We have established ourselves with both exchanges and partners as an important component and business in the ever-growing crypto and blockchain ecosystem. Changelly will continue to innovate and provide products, which will make the buying and selling of crypto easier than anywhere else.”
