Added to this, Binance has been chipping away at the strictest of all countries China and finally made some headway with Bitcoin/Yuan trades.
Binance has opened up 1.1 Billion WeChat users to swap fiat for BTC, XRP/Yuan is not yet available but as CZ is such a big fan, surely it’s a matter of time.
Binance is now accepting fiat through Alipay and WeChat, opening up the exchange to peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto transactions from China. The move follows a September announcement concerning the exchange’s intention to add over-the-counter (OTC) trade options for an additional fiat on-ramp.
