# Forex Markets & Non-US Centric DeFi Since Ionic enables pool creators to set up custom and isolated pools with a variety of supported assets, the platform can have multiple Forex markets running simultaneously across multiple chains. Therefore, the pools enable users to: * **Collateralize Blue Chip Assets For Native Currencies**: These pools allow whitelisted users to utilise their blue chip assets, such as wBTC, wETH, BNB, MATIC, and many others, to borrow their native currencies without selling their original assets. * **Explore Non-USD Markets**: Users can also explore other markets without reliance on USD-based tokens. This also creates an inclusive ecosystem where users can deposit their non-USD tokens as well and borrow other key assets without taking the USD stablecoin route. * **Enable Forex Trading**: Ionic pools enable seamless on-chain Forex trading with a variety of assets. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
