Could you please elaborate on which cryptocurrency exchange currently utilizes the ticker symbol 'XBT'? I'm particularly interested in understanding if this symbol represents a widely traded digital asset and if it enjoys significant liquidity on a major exchange platform. Additionally, I'm curious if there are any specific advantages or disadvantages associated with trading on the exchange that utilizes 'XBT' compared to other popular crypto exchanges. Your insights would be greatly appreciated as I'm considering diversifying my crypto portfolio.

Alongside Kraken, another exchange that employs the XBT acronym is BitMEX. Both these platforms have their own reasons for choosing this ticker name.

Kraken was the pioneer in adopting XBT as the ticker name for Bitcoin. This decision set a precedent for other exchanges to follow suit.

However, the majority of exchanges continue to use the traditional BTC ticker name for Bitcoin. This consistency helps maintain clarity and avoids confusion for investors.
