The announcement receives various comments, such as “Probably it was only for testing purposes, being liquidated with 2x leverage is not possible” from user Domenico Silletti, or “Short with 2x leverage? 😁 May be that person does’t know about bitcoin” from user Jeewan Shrestha.
At the same time, the exchange also announced new trading pairs for their stablecoin, StableUSD (USDS) on the platform.
“Binance will open trading for USDSB/USDT and USDSB/USDS trading pairs at 2019/06/24 10:00 AM (UTC),” so the announcement wrote.
