ADAX exchange has launched its own crypto coin Arab Coin (ARB) that was traded exclusively on its platform and has hosted couple of successful IEOs (Initial exchange offering) for couple of crypto projects such as MenaPay. Unfortunately, we could not verify the exact trading volume at the exchange.
