The world’s largest crypto exchange unveiled important news affecting its user base in India, Ukraine, Mexico, and other countries.
At the same time, it introduced new perpetual contracts and said it will remove certain trading pairs that no longer meet the necessary criteria.
Binance launched seven new official WhatsApp channels dedicated to users in India, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, and Russian-speaking clients. These groups are one-way only and serve as gateways in these specific regions.
“Through these one-way channels, users who sign up will receive Binance news and educational content about Web3, blockchain, and crypto – all in one convenient location, tailored to the users’ specific local needs,” the company explained.
Binance reminded users to follow only the official company channels to avoid potential scams and unauthorized sources, adding that the WhatsApp groups are verified by Meta.
It clarified that all the shared announcements are for informational purposes only and do not constitute financial advice. The team also warned customers to be careful of impersonators attempting to replicate Binance communications, especially on WhatsApp.
“Stay connected, stay informed, and thank you for choosing Binance as your trusted platform,” the disclosure reads.
Binance’s decision to focus on these countries doesn’t lack logic, as most are among the exchange’s strongholds. Earlier this year, the crypto compliance platform CoinLaw estimated that the company’s global user base had surged to approximately 300 million, with Ukraine contributing over 6% of that figure.
In addition to launching the aforementioned communication channels, Binance introduced the AMD/USDT, QCOM/USDT, and USAR/USDT perpetual contracts with up to 10x leverage.
The involved cryptocurrencies experienced almost no volatility after the announcement – an unusual reaction compared to previous similar disclosures. For instance, BIRB and GWEI witnessed double-digit pumps in January after Binance unveiled the BIRB/USDT and GWEI/USDT perpetual contracts with up to 50x leverage.
The exchange also said it will remove the trading pairs AVA/BTC, BCH/BNB, CFX/BTC, ENA/BTC, HBAR/FDUSD, LA/BNB, MAGIC/BTC, OP/BTC, PUNDIX/USDC, STEEM/ETH, WIN/TRX, and XPL/FDUSD on May 8.
This is part of Binance’s routine process, where it periodically reviews its listed pairs and removes those that no longer meet its criteria, including adequate liquidity and trading volume.
Approximately a week ago, the firm announced another delisting effort, terminating all services with 23 altcoins. Some of them, such as BUBB, nosedived by roughly 50% after the news.
