About the lending program
As earlier reported Binance crypto lending program was first launched in August. Users lent out their crypto and upon completion of the loan period, received their funds with interest. The service initially offered support for BNB, ETC, and USDT. In September it included Zcash, Monero, and Dash. The exchange platform earlier today also announced its launch of a peer-to-peer (P2P) crypto service in China. Thus, it opened up the exchange to China’s crypto market.
This will allow Binance Chinese users to trade Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH) and Tether (USDT) against the Yuan.
A P2P trade allows sellers and buyers to engage in direct transactions with each other. There is no need for third-party intervention. This launch by Binance completely falls out of the ban placed by the Chinese government, the provided transaction remains on a small scale.
