“Expect very high volatility in crypto over the next few months,” he tweeted on Oct. 21.
Some mainstream companies also view blockchain technology itself with interest, evaluating various uses such as supply chain. The future of cryptocurrency and its associated technology appears bright, judging by the growth and adoption that has been seen since 2008 when Nakamoto published the framework for a little asset called Bitcoin.
Despite this, any lack of trust in Binance has a knock-on effect when it comes to how users perceive its U.S. platform, due to the close association of the two. On reliability, the U.S. platform comes out on top. This does not mean that either have a good reputation. Binance has work to do, and lots of it.
In particular, the activities of miners — cryptocurrency users who leverage vast amounts of computing power to record transactions, receiving newly created cryptocurrency units and transaction fees paid by other users in return — are critical to currencies’ stability and smooth function.
The reason Ethereum Classic is not a fit for your portfolio is that it has had five whole years to grow yet has been unable to do that. ETH is now the flagship, and Ethereum Classic has become the “diet” product. With Ethereum in the name, it may become a pump-and-dump product.
The liquidity pool of a crypto exchange is important because it determines what kind of crypto can be exchanged or traded and how much each trade will change the price. The liquidity pool is the total of all of the currency deposited on the exchange by every trader. If this pool is small, then every transaction can have a noticeable effect on the price of the crypto in the exchange. This instability makes it very difficult for a trader to predict how much of each currency they can get at any given time.

Spot trading means you’re not technically “buying” the cryptocurrency, but instead trading your USD for it through either a market or a limit order. A market order means you agree to trade for the currency at the current market price. A limit order lets you put in a designated price at which you want the trade to occur, and when the currency reaches that price, the trade happens automatically. These orders then incur “maker” (for limit orders) or “taker” (for market orders) fees — though on Binance.US, there’s just a standard 0.1% fee.
At the moment, it is too early to say if Binance.US will employ security technologies from the global Binance platform which are usually described as being solid, despite a major hack this platform suffered in May 2019. Yet, the platform also responded to this incident in a generally well-received and timely manner.

Earlier, we presented a chart indicating how Binance has gone from essentially a non-player in the U.S. crypto market a few quarters ago to now doing significant volume. With the recent hiring of Brian Brooks, who certainly has the connections to tap into the right areas, Binance.US could be set up for a very bright future.
