2.Binance Adds Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Trading for Russian Ruble (RUB).
Binance, the main worldwide cryptocurrency exchange and blockchain ecosystem, has announced the launch of peer-to-peer (P2P) trading services for the Russian Ruble (RUB). The announcement is published via Binance official blog post on February 11, 2020.
Users would now be able to trade rubles directly with bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), tether (USDT) and binance coin (BNB) without any transaction fees.
Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao said:-
“Russia is a vibrant market for blockchain and crypto advancement. We strive to provide our Russian users with easy fiat-to-crypto access,” said . “P2P trading provides an open marketplace and more flexible access for users to trade multiple cryptocurrencies with other users or merchants in the payment methods they prefer. “Via the Binance P2P trading platform, our users can enjoy instant and secure trades with zero transaction fees and 24-hour customer support.”
