Binance Charges Ahead
The creation of Binance Research is the latest in a number of moves by Binance to expand its global presence.
In October, the Exchange announced that all of its revenue from listing fees will be donated to charity--additionally, the exchange eliminated its minimums for listing fees, allowing developers to name the amount that they pay. Around the same time, Binance introduced the Blockchain Charity Foundation.
Binance also recently announced the formation of its Uganda-based fiat-to-crypto exchange that offers BTC and ETH trading pairs with the Ugandan shilling.
