Binance acquired the Fintech company BxB Inc and is now going to turn it into a global exchange for South Korean customers by way of a cloud platform. This is a significant development for the company as well as for the crypto trading community in South Korea.
The exchange will be crypto to crypto in nature and will provide South Korean customers with the functionalities of Binance that have made it one of the most popular crypto exchanges in the world. The announcement was made by the Chief Executive Officer of the exchange, Changpeng Zhao, through a tweet. He said, “Hello South Korea.” Fiat deposits are going to be restricted at this point, but customers can use a stablecoin developed on Binance Chain to start their trading activities.

Binance previously removed 10 trading pairs earlier in March. Exchanges are known to remove certain trading pairs when those pairs prove to be non-liquid. These non-liquid pairs generally involve altcoins that are not as frequently traded.
