October 1 Binance will change the methods of calculating awardsfor stacking for their more accurate distribution. To account for user shares in the general pool, account balances will be registered hourly, based on which the final result for the day will be calculated. According to Binance, such a structure will allow for a more equitable distribution of rewards compared to a scheme in which the fixation of residues is carried out once a day at a specific time.

You can buy digital assets directly from a bank card

For the cryptocurrency sphere, there is still veryThe current issue is that the user of a crypto exchange can directly purchase cryptocurrencies using regular money (fiat). Many trading platforms offer to buy digital assets only in pairs, for example, with Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash. However, the situation is changing, and Binance has become one of those companies that is opening up an important way for traders to enter the cryptocurrency market.

It became known that Binance has agreed to cooperate with Koinal, which opens up the possibility of buying cryptocurrencies using both credit and debit cards.

Given that credit cards, firstly,more common in the world than debit ones, and secondly, they offer “hidden leverage” for a trader when buying digital assets. Such a step will mean the arrival of even more individuals into the world of cryptocurrencies. This is especially true in the current period of time, when the launch of trading of bitcoin futures on Bakkt with a focus on institutional investors does not change the main target audience of the digital asset sphere. Their purchases and sales of cryptocurrencies remain a key factor in changing the prices of such assets.

Binance's new move commented on the generalthe director of the cryptocurrency exchange, Changpen Zhao, who noted that the development is "slow but steady." Initially, it will be possible to buy five types of the most popular cryptocurrencies from cards - these are Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ethereum, Litecoin and XRP.

It is noted that we are talking about cards,which are under the brands Visa and Mastercard. Binance's partner company, Koinal, intends to charge “a very competitive fee for its services - 2.5%”

In addition, the Koinal portal allows you to buycryptocurrencies using cards on which funds can be initially placed not only in US dollars, but also in other currencies. Changpeng Zhao also noted that the partnership with Koinal “makes cryptocurrencies an even more familiar thing,” and the cryptocurrency exchange itself, as its manager assured, “will continue to build various methods of financial transactions through ordinary money - cryptocurrencies in order to increase the spread of digital assets.”

Koinal is the fourth partner after Simplex, Paxos and TrustToken, with whom Binance has entered into an agreement.
