Cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced increased support for altcoins PEPE, WIF, ENA, WLD, and others and introduced fee discounts to boost liquidity.
After Binance increased support for altcoins in the crypto community, there were hopes for a potential surge in the value of these assets. Pepe (PEPE), dogwifhat (WIF), and Worldcoin (WLD) are among the coins that received new support, CoinGape reported.
Binance said it will introduce a taker fee promotion for spot and margin trading pairs, including PEPE/USDT, WIF/USDT, ENA/USDT, and WLD/USDT, starting May 21, 2024. The reduced fees are intended to promote altcoin trading on the platform, thereby incentivizing increased trading volume and participation in these and other altcoin pairs.
While the direct impact of Binance's action on the prices of the supported cryptocurrencies remains to be seen, such events often lead to positive market sentiment. At the time of writing, the price of PEPE has increased by 21.2% in the last 24 hours, reaching $0.00001076. The price of WIF has increased by 3.8% in the last 24 hours.
The decision to lower fees underscores Binance's desire to increase liquidity and activity in its trading environment. By lowering transaction costs, Binance attracts a broader base of traders, potentially leading to an increase in the volume and liquidity of promoted altcoins.
The company's strategy reflects Binance's adaptive approach to the dynamic cryptocurrency market and its efforts to meet the changing needs of its user base. By expanding support for a wide range of cryptocurrencies, Binance continues to enrich its trading ecosystem and provide traders with greater exposure to emerging digital assets.
In the past, Binance's moves have led to increased trading activity in these assets and a positive impact on their market prices.
As the crypto community keeps a close eye on developments, the impact of these changes will become more apparent and could set a new precedent for how exchanges can drive growth and interest in altcoins.
