Three hours later, a new short tweet appeared on the web, hinting at the “evolution of the exchange.” It is not yet clear whether the platform intends to launch a full blockchain, which is primarily centered around simple asset transfers and token issuance, and DEX on the same day; the genesis block is eventually set for today, while nothing is known about the other events.In a recent interview at the Paris Blockchain Conference, Binance CFO Wei ZHOU said that the company intends to launch the platform “by the end of the month” along with the mainnet of Binance Chain.
