The listing comes as Binance is aiming to diversify trading volumes between stablecoin pairs following this year’s regulatory clampdown on Binance USD (BUSD), with New York state regulators forcing BUSD issuer Paxos to halt issuing the stablecoin in February.
Following that action, Binance promoted trading with TrueUSD (TUSD) by waiving fees. TUSD trading volume mushroomed since and its market capitalization grew to nearly $3 billion.
Binance listed FDUSD on July 26 with zero trading fees to convert the token to other stablecoins including USDT and TUSD, indicating that the promotion would include all existing and new FDUSD trading pairs.
The FDUSD stablecoin is issued by a registered trust owned by First Digital under Hong Kong’s digital asset rules.
