BNB Futures -- A New Asset Class?

Another famous analyst and trader called Keith Wareing is also quick to point out that BNB might even become a new asset.

“Looking at trading volumes on Binance, it’s clear they don’t have to sell any of their s***coin for revenue,” Wareing said in a Telegram message, adding:

“As such, during the forthcoming bull run, their position as one as one of the most trusted and secure exchanges in the space guarantees to add demand to the BNB token, so I expect it to outperform all other top 10 assets if the Bitcoin bull run continues.”

From A Simple Exchange to Binance Futures

Binance’s origins trace back to its launch in 2017. Those were incredible days in the cryptosphere. Binance quickly shot up in popularity and just halfway through 2018, the exchange processed over $1 billion in trading volume every single day. This meteoric rise helped Binance generate $78 million of profit in 2019’s first quarter alone.

The largest hiccup they’ve had was when the SEC came knocking on their door. The SEC caused quite a bit of trouble for Binance -- since Binance was letting U.S. customers buy cryptocurrencies which the SEC deemed “securities” and therefore available for trading only to certain accredited investors.

Binance’s solution was to ban U.S. customers. This put a dent in their revenue -- but it also inspired them to launch BinanceUS -- a separate exchange specifically for Binance customers. These days Binanance’s futures trading platform allows trading with 125x leverage and trading with privacy coins such as Zcash (ZEC) futures trading as well. 

The future is brighter and brighter -- and Binance seems to be leading the way.
