At the time of writing and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/ethereum-pow-iou\">according<\/a> to data from Coingecko, <a target=\"_blank\" style=\"color:orange\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blockchain.news\/tag\/FTX\"><u><b><i><dfn data-info=\"FTX is a cryptocurrency exchange built by traders, for traders....\">FTX<\/dfn><\/i><\/b><\/u><\/a>, MEXC Global, Bybit, Gate.io, and FTX.US are the five exchanges that have listed the coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 12pt\">The ETHW token is currently trading at an average price of $18 on FTX, MEXC Global, and FTX.US.
