Binance Adds Major Crypto in USDC Pairs

Crypto exchange Binance in an official announcement on December 27 revealed new spot trading pairs against Circle’s USD Coin (USDC). The move comes as the crypto exchange looks to end BUSD support and expand support for multiple stablecoins.

Binance will list key crypto spot pairs such as ADA/USDC, ARB/USDC, AVAX/USDC, DOT/USDC, INJ/USDC, MATIC/USDC, OP/USDC, ORDI/USDC, SOL/USDC and XRP/USDC. The crypto exchange kicks off with the most popular coins on the market, which are currently experiencing a lot of trading activity.

In October, Binance announced bringing back support for native USDC stablecoin on the Polygon blockchain network. The exchange also said that it would soon open the deposits and withdrawals for USDC.

In mid-2022, Binance announced that it would discontinue support for various stablecoins including USDC. Instead, the top exchange will prefer its own token BUSD for stablecoin based transactions. However, the SEC-led crackdown of BUSD pushed Binance to end BUSD support.
