Announcement: Brave and Binance Partner to Bring Cryptocurrency Trading Directly Into the Browser

Binance widget integrated into the Brave browser puts cryptocurrency management and trading at users’ fingertips in first exchange-browser integration of its kind.

The new Binance widget on the new tab page of the Brave desktop browser makes Brave the only browser that offers integrated functionality for buying and trading cryptocurrency. With the Binance widget, Brave users can access the Binance.com and Binance.US (for US-based users) sites, buy and sell crypto assets, view asset balances, and obtain deposit addresses all without leaving the browser.



The Binance widget will give Brave users various options to manage cryptocurrencies, including buying, depositing, trading, and viewing summaries. Users will be able to trade cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Litecoin, and many others supported by Binance.



“We are looking forward to our long-term partnership with Brave to make it even easier to interact with crypto and encourage more utility in the near future.” —Changpeng Zhao ‘CZ’, Binance CEO on Twitter

News You Should Know

Spectrum News: How to Protect Your Cyber-Security While Working From Home

Here are some tips to make sure you’re protecting your personal information while protecting yourself.



1. Don’t Rely on Yourself to Find Links for Remote-In Software.



If you work for a company that has provided a software that allows you to work remotely, follow the links they give you instead of searching for the software yourself.



For example, if they say you’re using Hypothetical Browser, and you search Google for “Hypothetical Browser” scammers may have set something up to look like that software, but isn’t.



So you might wind up on hypotheticalbrowser1.com, and all their download links will do is put software on your computer that could risk your personal information.
