Stages of each USDC trading pair launch on VALR
The launch of trading pairs will roll out over three stages as described below.
We may keep any particular stage open as long as is needed to ensure a healthy market dynamic. Please follow our VALR Twitter account where announcements will be made as the launch progresses from stage to stage.
Post-only: In this stage, starting at 11:00am (SAST), customers will be able to post buy-orders and sell-orders on the Exchange Buy/Sell screen. No matching (or completion) of trades will be allowed, which will give time for the order book to fill up with sufficient liquidity from traders. This stage will last a minimum of 10 minutes.
Limit-only (at least 10 minutes after Post-only stage): In this stage, customers can only place limit orders on the Exchange Buy/Sell screen (market orders and the Simple Buy/Sell feature will not yet be enabled). During this stage, orders will be allowed to match. This stage will last at least 1 hour.
Full trading (at least 1 hour after Limit-only stage): All trades, including market orders and Simple Buy/Sell orders will be allowed.
