# Asset whitelisting

{% hint style="success" %}
Protects asset quality

Protects collateral stability
{% endhint %}

The Degenerates have full control over their trading strategy. They can trade and combine any position in $cbBTC, $ETH, $AERO, $BRETT, $TOSHI, $DEGEN, $VIRTUALS, AIXBT, the list goes on. These are all whitelisted assets that have passed the requirements for integration. What Degens cannot do, is buy $20BANDOS, or $FLEXXZ, the random memecoins that were just launched, have no staying power, and are likely to be even more volatile. 

The whitelisting of assets onto DegenPrime protects both the [Diamond Hands](/degenprime/diamond-hands/hodl.md), but also the [Degenerates](/degenprime/protocol/double-ds/degenerates.md), even if they don't know it.
