Binance points his fingers towards Europe

Last week, the cooperation with the cryptoexchange for professional traders, Liechtenstein Cryptoassets Exchange, was announced. Binance will be responsible for the technical implementation of the new exchange. The rest is to be covered by the operating company from Liechtenstein. It will be possible to exchange the crypto assets in Fiat currencies such as the euro and the Swiss franc. However, this is not possible with Binance. Changpeng Zhao’s company is moving towards the European market with this cooperation.

Background: The Binance Coin (BNB) is the in-house token of the trading platform. It uses Ethereum’s ERC 20 token standard. The company was forced by the Beijing regulation in September 2017 to emigrate with its servers and administration to Japan. Therefore, Liechtenstein seems to be a good location for the planned online trading center, because the government announced in the spring a progressive regulation of cryptocurrencies. In addition, start-ups should be supported by means of their own blockchain legislation.
