Binance is working on different products and initiatives that aim at expanding its presence around the world. For example, one of the most interesting things is related to a decentralized exchange called Binance DEX.

With margin trading, users will be able to use their balances as collateral and open the possibility for higher profits. However, this has a larger risk for investors. At the moment, Kraken, and BitMEX, among others are currently offering this tool.

During an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session that Changpeng Zhao gave a few weeks ago, he said that they are working on margin trading for their trading platform. About it, Changpeng Zhao said:

“As we are working on our margin system, that’s rolling out very, very soon. We will do a gradual rollout of the margin platform; it’s actually being beta tested by our internal team.”

In a recent survey conducted by the crypto analyst Alex Krüger, he asked the community whether they will be using margin trading on Binance or not.

The answers show that 50% would be going to short or long crypto (14% and 36% respectively) and the remaining 50% said that they will not be using margin or that they just wanted to see the results (32% and 18% respectively).

A few weeks ago, Binance has been affected by a hack that resulted in the loss of $40 million in Bitcoin (close to 7,000 BTC). The exchange decided to cover the losses with its SAFU fund that receives financing from fees that they take every time a trade is performed on the platform.

In addition to it, Binance is going to be releasing a new platform for virtual currencies in Argentina, which is going to be a new fiat on-ramp for individuals in the country. This comes after opening fiat exchanges in different jurisdictions.
