On November 23rd Binance announced that they credited Bitcoin Diamond(BCD) to their users:
https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002998351-Binance-Distributes-Bitcoin-Diamond-BCD-and-Adds-BCD-MarketsOn November 25th some guy asked when BCD deposits will be enabled.
November 27th someone from Binance replied, that it will happen when the network is stable. https://imgur.com/a/f1qvVBCD network launched on 21st December, network got stable a few days after that, but Binance have not enabled deposits/withdrawals yet. Why is that?Technical difficulties? No, because Bitcoin Diamond integration is identical to Bitcoin, so it can be done in under an hour.
Price manipulation and scamming their users?Yes, because they are buying BCD on the free markets such as gate.io and okex.com and selling it to their users at 4-6 times the price, scamming their users for 75-85% of their money spent on BCD.
Currently coinmarketcap.com shows Bitcoin Diamond price at $15.69, but they eliminate Binance from their pricing and they amount for 42% of the total trading volume with the price 4 times higher than the rest of the market(~$60).
If we include Binance's trading data, BCD price would be: $35.19 at this moment.
https://imgur.com/a/9Qy4aI have been watching the trade volumes for last 2 weeks, by my estimations they are making 10 to 30 million USD a day by not enabling BCD deposits/withdrawals and scamming their users.
I tried asking on their reddit, how long until they will enable it and got my questions deleted in a few minutes - this seems to be a very delicate topic for them, otherwise why would they be so keen at deleting such questions.

If you are a user on other exchanges: Do not sell at low prices for corporate thieves scamming their users at today's largest exchange, wait until the market is freely traded.
