More initiatives from Binance
Expanding into the Australian market comes a few months after Binance has backed Australian travel startup TravelbyBit, which enables cryptocurrency payments for tourists without the need to exchange fiat currencies at high rates. The exchange poured over $2.5 million into the startup with the goal to develop a blockchain-based, point-of-sale (POS) payment system across major airports around the world.
Also in January, Binance enabled users to buy cryptocurrencies with their credit cards directly on Binance.com. The new feature is enabled by Binance’s new partnership with Simplex, an Israeli-based credit card payments processing company.
“Binance Lite Australia further expands digital currency adoption by providing easier ways to buy bitcoin. We are excited to continue to roll out more fiat to crypto gateways around the world to support the growth of our industry. We firmly believe that more adoption will lead to more innovation and more economic opportunities,” added Wei Zhou.
Binance was the world’s second most active crypto exchange over the past 24 hours, according to Coinmarketcap.com, hosting $705 million worth of cryptocurrency trades.
