Since the beginning of this year, Shapeshift.io has been vigorously growing and introducing new options almost every week. Shapeshift.io continues to work hard on expanding as well, recently announcing the addition of three new cryptocurrencies to its platform.
New Coins Added
The new additions to the platform were Monacoin (MONA), Vertcoin (VTC), and Infinitecoin (IFC). With these three additions, ShapeShift’s list of supported digital assets stands at 35 different currencies.
Shapeshift.io seems to have made a good choice by introducing these new coins, since most of them have been having a lot of market traction.
Monacoin (MONA) is a very popular coin in Japan and Asia in general. Monacoin is currently being traded around $0.129478 or 0.00054668BTC with a 24h volume of 15 BTC, as stated on Coinmarketcap at 
press time.
Vertcoin (VTC) was also one excellent choice made by the instant exchange. This coin was the first of its kind and is currently traded at $0.142915 with a 24h volume of 177BTC. These last few days Vertcoin is bee having a big rise.
Infinitecoin (IFC), another great choice from Shapeshift.io. Although IFC is not so popu
lar as the other ones, this coin has also seen a big rise recently. It’s being traded at $0.000031 or 0.00000013BTC with an incredible 24h volume of 169BTC.
Shapeshift.io has been adding a lot of new coins to the platform, making sure that its options are up to date. The latest partnership with Tether even allows customers to do instant transactions with a fiat-pegged token.
ShapeShift is still growing rapidly every day, and has committed to rolling out more features over the coming months as well as adding new coins.
ShapeShift.io is primarily intended to be used as an API. The exchange API is open source, and anyone is allowed to use it. Developers and entrepreneurs can contact the exchange to discuss ideas or further options for use.
