Binance.US Opens its iOS Beta to the Public
In a move that has crypto enthusiasts buzzing, Binance.US has officially opened beta testing for its iOS application. Announced in a tweet on December 30, the exchange revealed that the private beta test, which started on December 18, yielded great results. They are now welcoming all users to join in the fun and help uncover those pesky bugs before the app launches officially. Who doesn’t love being a beta tester, right?
Android Users, Your Turn is Coming!
But wait, there’s more! Binance.US is not stopping with iOS. Following the iOS beta testing phase, the platform is rolling out Android beta testing as well. This means that soon enough, everyone—regardless of their device—can participate in the hunt for glitches and ensure the app is polished to perfection.
Recent Upgrades from Binance
Binance isn’t just focused on app development; they’re shaking things up across their platform. Earlier today, the exchange announced that due to the Ethereum network’s Muir Glacier upgrade, they will be suspending Ether (ETH) deposits and withdrawals for a bit. The suspension is precautionary and will take place before the Ethereum network hits block height 9,200,000.
Buying Crypto Made Easier
In other exciting news, Binance has expanded its payment options. As of December 27, users can now buy crypto directly using Visa credit and debit cards! This newly introduced feature allows users to purchase popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ether, XRP, and Binance Coin (BNB) seamlessly by linking their accounts to Visa cards from the European Economic Area. Time to stock up on those digital coins!
Turbulent Times for DApp Browsers
Just as crypto applications are thriving, the environment for decentralized applications (DApps) is getting dicey. Reports surfaced on December 28, revealing that Apple might require Coinbase to remove its DApp browser feature from the wallet app. This follows Google’s decision to pull the Ethereum-based DApp browser, MetaMask, from its Android app store. The crypto community is holding its breath, wondering what this means for the future of DApps.
