Bybit Announces Ticker Change for Polyhedra, Adds zkSync to Its Listing

Bybit, the third-largest offshore cryptocurrency exchange, it was announced that the platform is set to list zkSync (ZK). This addition to Bybit’s offerings has a notable change: the ticker symbol for the Polyhedra Network token will be altered. Bybit’s decision aims to streamline their trading experience, ensuring clarity and ease for users. However, this move has sparked a debate within the crypto community regarding the ownership and appropriateness of ticker names.

We trust that the community understands the true meaning of fairness and justice.

Let’s see who will endorse such misconduct and who will stand as the guardian of fairness and justice.

Great job as a robber and a thief, not a blockchain builder. @zksync

Community Reaction and Company Assurance

The announcement was met with mixed reactions. Polyhedra Network expressed dissatisfaction, suggesting that Bybit’s decision to reallocate its ‘ZK’ ticker symbol to another blockchain project could be seen as depriving it of its rightful identifier. On the other hand, some community members argue that Polyhedra has no inherent right to the ZK ticker. This controversy highlights the often contentious nature of branding and identity within the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency markets.

Despite the controversy, Bybit has reiterated its commitment to its users and partners. In their official statement, Bybit assured customers that the ticker change will not impact their holdings of the Polyhedra Network tokens, which will remain secure on their platform. The company also confirmed its continued support for the Polyhedra project and its community, promising to release details about the new ticker symbol and the effective date of the change soon.

Investors and users are encouraged to stay tuned to Bybit’s official channels for upcoming announcements regarding this ticker symbol update. Bybit’s proactive communication underscores their dedication to transparency and customer service amidst changes that might affect their trading experience.
