The Part Binance Plays in Market Volatility
Volumes related to TrueUSD (TUSD) and First Digital USD (FDUSD) have also had an impact on the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market. Notably, Binance’s use of zero-fee promotions, which greatly increased volumes, has been instrumental in this change. Following the end of these promos, trading volumes significantly decreased, underscoring the role that major exchanges play in market movements.
