Kucoin Exchange has just listed BNB. Here is the official message:
Dear KuCoin Users,
In order to meet users' demands for new blockchain technologies, KuCoin is happy to announce that we will support projects running on Binance Chain.
KuCoin is also extremely proud to announce that another great project coming to our trading platform. Binance Coin (BNB) is now available on KuCoin. Supported trading pairs include BNB/BTC and BNB/USDT.
Please take note of the following schedule:
Deposits: 16:00 June 19, 2019 (UTC+8)
Trading: 18:00 June 19, 2019 (UTC+8)
Withdrawal: 18:00 June 21, 2019 (UTC+8)
This is potentially huge for any Binance user who is from the US, as they will soon be locked out. Now you are able to trade BNB on
Kucoin as an alternative
I guess kucoin is beginning to also learn from Binance exchange themselves on how to be a smart player, now most US binance users will move to kucoin for this purpose, and the mistake Binance will be making is to allow any of their users get use to kucoin, because we have lots of us that has never tried to use another exchange before, and moving to kucoin now might make us see some features that kucoin has over Binance.
But for kucoin to have listed binance on their platform, they must have really gotten approval from binance, otherwise binance could sue them for listing their without their permission.
Indeed, they really got the approval from Binance as I can see from what a mate posted above about Binance take on the move of Kucoin to list their BNB. Binance is always showing maturity in their business, and these gestures shows that Binance wishes everyone well, knowing fully well that the step by Kucoin could really attract lots of user to them and make them too popular.
But you see, crypto community is supposed to be a unified one, and not one that would always think of competing with one another, or coming as one to destroy Bitcoin, some of these coin that do claim to compete with others, I usually see them as a childish project really, Binance is really setting a very good record in this crypto word, which is why they will always be respected.
