Try binance.us

I have Binance, but know they have the .us domain too.

I'm not the best to answer what.

Coinbase and Gemini both don't allow margin trading. So their margins are more than double. Where else can an America trade spot at better margin rates (and not get killed on fees)?

One thing I love about FTX is I can trade without conversion, from any stablecoin. Binance makes you convert or transfer and jump through hoops, but FTX it's painless.

Also saves gas fees.

I'm learning this stuff too. Hit me up in the Crypto 101 thread I created and I'll share screenshots best I can to help.

Re: ETH:BTC I understand that you can trade it. My question is, as an American, lets say I have ample USD in my account, can I trade the ETH:BTC spread, or as @jokertrader said, can you only use it to move back and forth from one coin to the other - ie you are always net long?

Thanks for sharing the webinar. Futures can already be obscure for the general public, and cryptocurrency can be well...cryptic, so cryptocurrency futures would probably sound like something from the Matrix itself. The slide at 13:05 on the increase of institutional interest in the bitcoin futures was cool.

This seems to be the most active CME Ether thread so posting here.



Worth noting when you look at the ADV chart that BTC = 50 MBT and ETH = 500 MET so while their volumes are high, the notional value will be much smaller.
