(REUTERS) 1 min read . Updated: 21 Oct 2021, 09:54 PM IST Bloomberg The price of Bitcoin appeared to rapidly — and only temporarily — plunge about 87% on Binance’s U.S. exchange Thursday morning, sinking to as low as $8,200 from around $65,000. The price did nothing like that on other venues, and on Binance the level almost immediately snapped back to where it had been. The plunge occurred at 7:34 a.m. New York time, according to Binance’s website. Volume on the exchange in that minute was 592.8 Bitcoins, which are worth just shy of $40 million at current prevailing prices. Mistakes like this happen throughout finance when, for instance, traders mess up details of their intended trades, entering the wrong price or order size. An erroneously large trade, as one example, can overwhelm an exchange’s order book, leading to a quick and massive decline. The entire U.S. stock market famously flash crashed back in May 2010, though equities have mostly avoided trouble since that era. This is the latest in a string of recent high-profile trading problems in crypto. Synthetify, a new decentralized exchange, was forced to shut down for a while earlier this month shortly after its debut because of bad data provided by the Pyth Network, a price feed backed by some of the world’s most well-known trading and exchange firms. Pyth malfunctioned another time in September, erroneously making it appear that Bitcoin had crashed 90%.
How the price of Ethereum will change in the future is impossible to know for certain.

If you outright buy Bitcoin with USD, you will pay a 0.5% fee on Binance.US. If you want to spend $100 to buy Bitcoin using this option, you’d end up trading about $99.50 after fees.

As recently as May 2021, Binance was under investigation by the U.S. government for tax fraud and money laundering, according to reporting by Bloomberg.
Now that you're familiar with the basics of both Binance and Binance.US, let’s cover some specific topics that you’re interested in.
While its price swiftly dropped to below $65,000 after hitting the new all-time high Wednesday, Bitcoin’s latest new record is an impressive feat considering just a year ago the currency hovered around $15,000 per coin. Ethereum — the next most popular crypto — has seen a recent surge as well, and on Wednesday notched another new all-time high of its own above $4,800.
Binance.US users will also be able to take advantage of the same discount opportunities available on Binance. The referral bonuses as well as the discount for holding BNB are available. As a reminder, Binance's fees are the lowest in the industry even before factoring in the discounts.
Since Binance doesn't allow for US Dollar deposits and trading, most of the volume on the exchange occurs against stablecoin pairs such as BTC/USDT, BTC/USDC, and BTC/BUSD (BUSD is Binance's native stablecoin). One other factor to note is that although Binance does have more volume than any other exchange, that volume is spread across a much larger pool of cryptocurrencies than other exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken. Therefore, it's always important to look at the specific asset you're interested in trading in order to determine how liquid (or illiquid) it is.

There is no publicly available information about what percentage of assets held by the exchange are kept in secure, offline cold storage vs. online hot wallets, or if there is an insurance policy that protects investors. You must have a Binance.US account to send queries to the help desk, so we were unable to get more information that way.
