Binance warns users that futures trading is a highly risky endeavor with a potential for both great profits and significant losses. The exchange also reminds its users in the event of extreme price movement, there are chances that all of their margin balance in the future wallets may be liquidated.
Just recently, Binance doubled the fees for Ether (ETH) withdrawals and crypto traders were not happy. In its announcement, the exchange explained that it would make temporary adjustments by making ETH withdrawal from 0.003 ETH to 0.006 ETH to better facilitate ERC20 and ETH withdrawals during the period of high congestion.
The move was criticized by crypto traders with some calling the exchange “scam” and “robber.” Another accused the exchange of being greedy.
To better facilitate, you say? To me it seems that your greed knows no boundaries.

In related news, Binance.Us has listed XTZ in its platform. Following the listing, crypto traders can start XTZ/USD and XTX/BUSD trading pairs. Users can also start depositing USD, BUSD, or XTZ to their wallets as they prepare for the trading to go live. XTZ tokens are temporarily available for deposit only because withdrawals will not be enabled until the trading is live.
