Deposits: Users won’t be able to deposit HIVE from another wallet to WazirX.
Trading: Users will be able to buy, sell, and trade HIVE in the exchange’s USDT market. When users buy HIVE, it will appear in their “Funds.”
Withdrawals: Users won’t be able to withdraw HIVE from their WazirX wallet. However, they can sell it in the USDT market.
