In this guide, our primary focus will be on the newly launched cloud infrastructure of Binance, dubbed Binance Cloud.

The story of the cryptoverse will not be complete without Binance, a crypto exchange that has grown to become one of the heavyweights in the blockchain technology world by developing a vast array of innovative products and services, aimed at making mainstream adoption of blockchain-based virtual currencies a reality. This is the wide line of solutions including Binance Exchange, Binance DEX, Binance Charity, Binance Labs, Binance Chain, Binance Academy, Binance Launchpad, Binance Info, Binance Research, Binance X, Trust Wallet, Binance Coin, and Binance Cloud.

What is Binance Cloud?

Binance Cloud is an innovative platform created to function as a solution for customers and partners who wants to launch digital asset exchanges, leveraging Binance’s highly functional cutting-edge technology, security, and liquidity.

Binance Cloud will replicate the robust internal functionalities of the Binance global exchange.

Importantly, users of the Binance Cloud infrastructure will be able to take advantage of all the excellent features of Binance.com, including its superfast order matching engine, best-trading risks controls, and massive data security system.

At a time when Binance is doing its best to spread the good news of blockchain technology across all corners of the world, the fact still remains that the exchange cannot cover the entire face of the earth without help from other innovators.

With the Binance Cloud platform, people from around the world will be able to quickly launch their digital asset exchanges in their local markets, without having to build their systems from the ground-up.

These exchanges built upon Binance Cloud will come with virtually the same functions that are available on Binance global, including spot market and futures trading, as well as local bank API integrations and peer-to-peer fiat money trading services, among others.

As put by CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, popularly called “CZ” The Binance Cloud service is designed to function as an all-in-one solution.

The system features an easy-to-use dashboard that makes it easier for users to seamlessly manage funds, while also giving them access to numerous trading pairs and coin listings.

In a bid to eliminate language barriers, Binance Cloud comes with multilingual support, depth-sharing with the Binance.com global exchange, and offers users a vast array of opportunities that will enable them to collaborate with the crypto ecosystem.

What Does Binance Cloud Do?

Just like the original Binance platform, the Cloud service will support a plethora of features including

  • Coin staking and over-the-counter trading services (OTC), although, this is not available at present
  • Market depth
  • Seamless integration with the APIs of local banks
  • Unlimited Liquidity
  • Exchanges will also be able to launch new tokens for their clients through an initial exchange offering (IEO).
  • Peer-to-peer fiat to Cryptocurrency exchange services and more.

Commenting on the launch of Binance Cloud, CZ revealed that the initiative is part of Binance’s mission to foster financial inclusion as well as the widespread adoption of blockchain-based virtual currencies.

“Binance Cloud provides its customers and partners around the world with a complete turn-key exchange platform solution, consolidating the few financial infrastructures to an open platform based on blockchain technology.”

CZ further hinted that one of the major objectives of Binance Cloud is to drastically reduce the technical challenges new crypto market participants face while trying to develop their exchanges from the ground-up:

“We aim to limit the technical challenges for platforms and partners, allowing them to focus on their users and local fiat access and accelerate the global adoption of crypto.”

Benefits of Binance Cloud

While Binance Cloud is set up to produce countless benefits, the one that tops the list is that the company will give users the opportunity to make use of its technology via the Cloud platform.

That implies that customers will get the privilege to leverage Binance’s technology to kick-start their own cryptocurrency exchange trading platforms.

Clients will benefit from Binance’s liquidity, and, according to the CEO, Binance Cloud will be the company’s main source of revenue for 5 years. Other benefits include spot market and futures trading, local bank API integrations as well as peer-to-peer (P2P) fiat-to-crypto currency exchange services.”
