dYdX ends contentious promo claiming ‘overwhelming demand’ By Cointelegraph

Decentralized crypto derivatives exchange dYdX says it has ended its short-lived and contentious $25 first deposit bonus promo amid a wave of backlash over its facial recognition requirements for new users.

The exchange, however, simply cited “overwhelming demand” as the reason for its short-lived promotional campaign, which ended on Thursday “effective immediately.”
