Less than two months after being acquired by Binance, India-based cryptocurrency exchange, WazirX will hold its upcoming WazirX (WRX) token sale on Binance Launchpad.
Once launched, the WRX Initial Exchange Offering (IEO) will become the first offering to go live on the Binance Launchpad this year. The IEO is scheduled for February 3, at 00:00 UTC through the usual lottery format on the token sale platform.
WRX is priced at 0.02 per unit, and has a total Launchpad Hard Cap of $2 Million, with a total supply of 1,000,000,000 WRX, according to the report. Meanwhile, 10% of the total WRX supply will be allocated to the Launchpad.

Binance-WazirX Relationship
In November, Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, acquired WazirX, gaining access to Indian’s 1 billion+ residents, although the country is seeing strict regulation for crypto business.
Binance move to India enabled Indians to directly purchase and sell cryptos using fiat currency, rupees (INR) through its fiat gateway. “Building fiat-to-crypto bridges remain a key mission for Binance,” said Binance CFO, Wei Zhou.
