Binance traz “Binance Pay” para clientes nos EUA
- Binance has debuted “Pay” feature for all its customers in the United States.
- The feature was launched in Feb 2021 but wasn’t available for US customers.
- Users can now send money “immediately” using their smartphones.
- A empresa também está trabalhando em uma versão web para o recurso Binance Pay.
- A bolsa também reabriu as retiradas do USDC.
The world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, has opened a new payment method for its customers in the United States. As per a blog post from the leading crypto platform, America-based customers of the exchange can now use the “Pay” feature to send money to other users quite easily, avoiding complex payment methods which take time for settlements.
As per a Tuesday blog post, Binance Pay will be available to the US customers and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao said payments is one of the “most obvious use cases for crypto.” It is crucial to note that the Pay feature has been a part of the exchange’s ecosystem since February 2021 and since then, a US release has been pending.
However now, Binance Pay will allow “users to send, request and receive almost 150 different cryptocurrencies from other users, enabling instant, zero-cost crypto transfers.” This seems to be an attempt to increase the trading volume on the crypto exchange amid an increasingly bearish crypto market which has affected the prices of all the crypto coins. The exchange also removed trading fees from Bitcoin (BTC) e Éter (ETH) pares de negociação para aumentar o volume na plataforma.
“Pay eliminates the complexities of transferring crypto to contacts as users no longer need to enter a complex deposit or withdrawal address, pay gas fees, or wait an unspecified amount of time for transactions to successfully settle,” the company said.
Atualmente, os usuários dos EUA podem usar imediatamente o recurso Binance Pay em seus smartphones. No entanto, a empresa ainda está trabalhando em um recurso baseado na web que pode ser lançado em um futuro próximo.
Binance reabre saques em USDC
As reported earlier by Bitnation, the leading crypto exchange had paused withdrawals of Circle’s USDC on the platform which gave rise to a FUD in the crypto community. Many people started withdrawing their money from the exchange which was already facing the consequences of a Reuters report stating that half of the US Department of Justice (DoJ) is com o objetivo de apresentar acusações criminais contra a Binance.
The leading exchange denied the charges while the crypto community stated that this is a co-ordinated media attack. Due to the rumors of a DoJ investigation and potential issues in the Binance proof of reserves report, the platform’s native token, BNB, caiu também.
However, the USDC withdrawals are back online on Binance as per a blog post late Tuesday. Interestingly, the exchange saw above $1 billion withdrawn from it in just 24 hours owing to fears of another insolvent firm. Although, Changpeng Zhao, the CEO and co-founder of the exchange, stated that this “is a good idea to “stress test withdrawals” on each CEX on a rotating basis.”
Também foi revelado que a Binance tem mais de $60 bilhões em carteiras frias, o que é suficiente para apoiar os fundos dos clientes caso as coisas dêem errado.
Falando sobre a pausa de retirada do USDC, o executivo afirmou that the channel to swap from PAX/BUSD to USDC requires going through a bank in NY in USD and since the banks were not open, the situation regarding the stablecoin couldn’t be restored.
