Binance releases announcement to support VeChain (VEN) Mainnet Swap and also adds a trading pair to their cryptocurrency exchange in VEN/USDT. The VeChain and Tether pairing comes on the heels of Tether passing their audit this past week allegedly showing they are fully backed by their USD-pegged USDT tokens.

The VEN Mainnet token swap is expected to happen this month and Binance has done a great job at honoring and being very active in the crypto community by providing and following all the individual coins and their unique updates and transitions into their own blockchains.

The VEN/USDT trading pair will start today, June 22 at 8AM UTC.
