If you're not comfortable with doing so initially, you can also claim a $12 sign-up/social bonus. Requires no deposit, and can get you a position with size up to $1200 or equivalent.
We didn't specify a common name so I guess Lets Encrypt just picked something random, haha.
Thanks for making us aware!
You're completely right about the liquidity. We just launched two days ago and haven't brought in any major market makers yet. We're currently in talks with some, so expect to see more liquidity very soon.
And yes, for legal reasons we are not allowed to accept customers located in the US. Neither are most other crypto derivatives exchanges (Bitmex, Deribit, FTX). It really is an unfortunate state of affairs.
You don't really need to trust us in the beginning, since you can get started with just 1 USDT.
That's enough to open a position of $10 (using 10x leverage) or $100 (using 100x leverage).
We also have a no-deposit welcome bonus ($12) that you can claim and use to open new positions - completely risk free.
As for the lack of transparency - you are completely right.
We literally just launched 2 days ago and haven't got around to listing our team yet. We are working on that right now and will be publishing an "about us" page within the next week or two. Expect to see changes soon.
Please let me know if you have any other questions. You can also ping me in the chat @mike, or in our Telegram channel and I'll be happy to answer.
