Breaking news from the Binance headquarters. The popular exchange will launch its own blockchain called Binance Chain that will be used to create a decentralised exchange.
Binance Chain will mainly focus on the transfer and trading of blockchain assets, as well as provide new possibilities for the future flow of blockchain assets. Binance Chain will focus on performance, ease-of-use, and liquidity. Binance Coin (BNB) will be upgraded to exist on its own blockchain mainnet, becoming a native coin.
The existing Binance Coin will become the native currency of the new project.
Immediately after the announcement, the Binance Coin surged more than 30%.

Announcement on Binance.com:
https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001668872
The announcement does not contain many details yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
The big advantage of a decentralized exchange is that it can not be hacked. All tradable assets will be stored on the blockchain and can be accessed directly without a middleman.
Since STEEM is traded on Binance I regularly use the exchange and I am very satisfied with this trading platform. Particularly about the communication from the team and the way in which they communicate on controversial topics such as a recent hack whereby their API was used indicates a reliable and strong organization.

This is good news. I hadn't seen this yet. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps if a few of the US based exchanges go this route they can avoid the long arm of the SEC?

It doesn't seem fair that Binance will promote their own coin on Steemit while not willing to list Steem Dollars (SBD). They have listed just all kinds of coins, just not SBD. Binance also list Yoyow which is a Steemit competitor. Yoyow is ranked 307 while SBD is ranked 260.
Come on Binance...

Intriguing development for sure.
If Binance decided to go with a POS/dPOS chain where the BNB can be staked, things could get very interesting.
BNB might turn out to be one of the best investments for next few years.

Great news. Decentralized exchanges are the future, but the ones recently haven't been too user friendly. This should help change things big time. Binance is a great exchange, and if they can carry over their success to a decentralized exchange, then I think we will have a new winner in the exchange market. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! I have a great experience with binance and I always was hoping that a decentrelized exchange would be something like binance. I did not expect that binance it self was planning to do so. Just after it was "hacked" people looking for a safe way to trade their coins.

So many people hating on Binance nowadays, because of the exchange rates, but in my opinion, Binance still is the best and safest Exchange around at the moment and improves the name of Cryptocurrency in the real world. Really good news, for all Binance supporters!

That's great new, decentralized exchange will bring ease to so many users.
Blockchain and Cryptocurrency is the future of finance and so many startups are getting into blockchain, cryptocureency and making life easy for everyone. open ledger is a great example, which has made life easier for those who make online payments and send their money ot their loved ones.
What’s happening today with cryptocurrency is reminiscent of the dot-com boom two decades ago. People investing in FinTech startups and projects which is wildly ambitious ideas of a more connected future and peoples are making millions from BlockChain and Crypto.

No, Binance itself wasn't hacked. Users lost funds due to a phishing attack.

Some of their users were hacked, and Binanced handled it so well as to recover the stolen funds and even freeze the hackers funds.
And no, withdrawals are not on hold, I have withdrawn today with no issue.

Depends on what you are withdrawing. Some coins will have high fees by their nature. You can withdraw NEO from Binance for free. Buy 1 NEO, withdraw 1 NEO, receive 1 NEO.

Well.. I would say that if users get hacked on Binance then Binance got hacked.. Lets not fiddle diddle around that fact! I read myself from some users that they never even touched their own API settings or keys or code.. nothing.. and still got all their funds sold off and auto bought into ViaCoin..
So Binance GOT HACKED.. they handled it quickly though as you mention. I agree with you from there. But users on Binance and therefore Binance got hacked... It is Binances responsability to deactivate vulnerable settings from ordinary user accounts that might not know how to use the internet totally securely. Binance is responsable in a long haul..

Binance did not get hacked. Any users affected had typed the binance website address in incorrectly and went to a fake site. At the fake site they typed in their "username" and "password". This gave their username and password to the phishers. The phishers then collected enough accounts and on a specific day or days started manipulating the market.
The only fault that Binance had.... as far as I have heard could be said, is that they themselves didn't buy up all the domain names(web addresses) which were similar or could be typed in incorrectly as "binance".
But again, no, that is not a hack. That can't be called "getting hacked."
Just double check your facts. False or misunderstood news is just as bad as FAKE news.

Right. That is the way I understood it too. It wasn't a hack. But phishing.

Okay, if that was the only things going on I agree with you! Catching someone ellses username and pass and using it is then only the user getting hacked or phished..
Thanks for clearing that up!
On the other hand, it can only be possible then because these users were not using google authenticator or other 2 factor security!?? Unless they somehow managed to hack the 2 factor also for the accounts? I doubt that though.. Probably users without 2 factor enabled.
But to be true I did read about people talking about the API keys. Maybe just myths being spread.
Thanks friend. I agree that I do not KNOW for sure, we are all just trying to get things straight together here! cheers! I will follow you. Anyone who want to, please follow me and help me get started quickly here!

Not many crypto and trader exchange exchanges from any level of experience need to be dealt with on several trading floors. As practice shows, not all of them are able to work stably and for a long time, and therefore, to diversify, it would not be an exaggeration to distribute their assets to different exchanges. An excellent choice for such security measures is probably the Binance Exchange, which confidently breathes behind most of the top ranked competitors. What kind of exchange is this and what's different from the rest - this is the main topic of this article. Cool @pinguinpablo

While the price has already shot up a bit, I still instantly went and bought some more BNB. I had a small amount just to pay for my trade fees, but had sold most a month or 2 ago. Binance has been the best exchange I've ever seen or used, the recent hack was handled extremely well. A decentralised exchange has been on their agenda from the beginning, hopefully they can do it better than anyone else. I didn't realise they were going to adapt BNB like this though.

I was actually going to buy like 10 binance coins just 1andahalf hours before the jump happened! I delayed it because I wanted to activate my new steemit account! hah.. what a world we live in! But it has fallen back to 9,7 usdT recently, so buying oportunities are still there if you believe in Binance to keep on strong and secure!

Everyone writes about a higher commission, but I will say that most exchanges take a huge interest in buying crypto currency. Binance is not only reliable, but even with the purchase of coins, a very low commission, and holders of their promising BNB coins, the commission for purchase is even less.
