As it is very early in the morning we will go to the matter quickly and bluntly. We have for today some announcements and news of Binance, which we must pay close attention.

A Very Controversial News

It was very funny yesterday, that when we were finishing the weekly report, we got the polemic news of the Binance futures platform.

Apparently, Binance almost became the victim of a market maker attack in the early hours of Sep. 16.

However, CEO Changpeng Zhao soon revealed that the “attack” on the new futures platform was actually the result of a bug, causing the crypto-community to criticize him for making hasty accusations as as expressed cryptoslate.

In theory these things should not happen. But we know that technologically and because it is a new platform, these errors can appear.

A New Strategic Investment

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance, the world’s largest by trading volume, has made a strategic investment in Chinese media and data source Mars Finance.

According to a report from Bloomberg citing a press release, the investment amount was not disclosed, but values the company at $200 million.

Fourth & Fifth Phase

Binance will launch the fifth phase of Binance Lending Products at 2019/09/20 6:00 AM (UTC), where 14-day fixed term lending products will be made available as wrote in the blog.

Further details are below:

Subscription Format: First-come-first-served basis.

Subscription Period: From 2019/09/20 6:00 AM (UTC) to 2019/09/21 0:00 AM (UTC).

Interest Calculation Period: 2019/09/20 6:00 AM (UTC) to 2019/10/04 6:00 AM (UTC).

Interest Payout Time: Immediately after loan term matures.

We can note that this is a special edition focused on privacy-focused coins.

But, the strangest thing, and without leaving the context, is that OKEx Korea is wanting or already programmed to delist all privacy coins, including Monero, Zcash and Dash, for “violate” the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) “travel rule.”

In our personal opinion it seems that game that while a girlfriend or boyfriend does not love us, another or another welcomes us. 😂

Leaving the funny side of the story, also, Binance will launch the fourth phase of Binance Lending Products at 2019/09/18 6:00 AM (UTC) as says the blog.
