Listings by cryptocurrency exchanges hold significant importance before the anticipated bull season. It is common for exchanges to list altcoins they trust will have high trading volumes and delist those they see no future in. In this context, major exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, and OKX are accelerating their listings, and recently, OKX announced the listing of three new trading pairs, drawing significant attention.
OKX Announces 3 New Listings
According to the announcement by OKX, the news of listing three new trading pairs has excited the market. The exchange will list ARKM/USDT, PIXEL/USDT, and BOME/USDT. Trading for ARKM will start at 3:00 PM on August 15, PIXEL at 5:00 PM, and BOME at 7:00 PM.
The announcement from the exchange was as follows:

Spot trading opens on August 15 (UTC):

Following the announcement, all eyes turned to the prices of these three altcoins.
Prices of ARKM, PIXEL, and BOME
First, looking at ARKM, its price has shown a negative trend in the last 24 hours, which seems to have slightly disappointed its investors. Despite the listing news, ARKM’s price fell by 1% to around $1.02. ARKM’s market cap is $209.6 million, and its trading volume increased after the news, rising by 7% to $38.6 million.
The local token of the past period’s standout PIXEL project also saw a notable decline. PIXEL’s price, like ARKM, fell by 1% and is trading at $0.1394. The market’s key unlocks are known to impact PIXEL’s price. Alongside the price drop, its market cap also decreased to $107.4 million.
Lastly, looking at March’s undisputed star BOME, a slight upward trend compared to its rivals has created optimism. BOME’s price saw a 0.5% increase in the last 24 hours, trading around $0.007183, while its trading volume rose to $495 million.
Additionally, the 24-hour trading volume increased by 37% to $133.9 million, indicating that the news might have had a significant impact on the meme coin.
