MAX Exchange Integrates Native USDT on Aptos Blockchain for Direct TWD Conversion

Taiwan's MAX Exchange has integrated native USDT, issued directly on the Aptos blockchain. This move allows local traders to deposit, buy, and withdraw Tether's dollar-pegged token without relying on wrapped or bridged versions.

The integration went live on September 29, with deposits and withdrawals enabled for Aptos-native $USDT. The following day, four new trading pairs - $HYPE, $GRAM, $APT, and $RENDER - are set to open for trading at 15:00 GMT+8.

MAX has warned users to choose the correct Aptos network when depositing, as mistakes can result in permanent asset loss. This is a standard risk in the industry when tokens exist on multiple networks or blockchains offer more than one deposit pathway.
