Litecoin/BNB coin pair is now available on the Binance DEX including the latest asset called LTC-F07 and more than 18,500 tokens have been released for trading as we are reading further in the litecoin news today.
In the latest listing proposal, the binance CEO Changpeng Zhao explained the potential of the Litecoin/BNB Coin pair trading on the Binance DEX:
“LTC is decentralized money, free from censorship and open to all. The Litecoin blockchain is the largest global scrypt based network, operating with 100% uptime since 2011 securing billions of dollars of value”
Chanpeng Zhao also noted that the contribution that Litecoin has to offer to the future blockchain progress, especially the Lightning Network and Atomic Swaps. As a new asset, the LTC-F07 is mintable and the total supply will increase with market demand so all of the tokens issued will be backed 1:1 by a native LTC in which the accuracy of the connection will be monitored by an initial verified Litecoin address. The Binance DEX is a side-project of Binance which is currently the largest crypto exchange in the world.
The DEX operates on the native Binance Chain and supports non-custodial peer-to-peer trading of more than 130 assets. Some of the major cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin as well as other numerous stablecoins which have their ‘mirrors’ on the Binance Chain with actual tokens of the native Binance BEP2 standard. As we reported previously in our Binance news, the decentralized exchange (DEX) is apparently blocking access to users based in 29 countries. The Binance DEX informs potential users of the restriction through a message which appears when someone is accessing the platform from any of the specified regions.
Aside from this, the pop-up which Binance DEX has designed warns about the trading and accessing the wallet interface through the website – and how it will be blocked for users with IP addresses from the aforementioned countries. A lot of people in the crypto community are bashing Binance and have characterized the finding as an indication that the DEX is in fact not actually decentralized. One Twitter user who is well known among crypto enthusiasts named Whale Panda commented:
“Reminder that it was never a DEX so stop calling it a DEX. It’s just a word they used to pump $BNB, it was never meant to be decentralized.”
