In a recent announcement, Binance, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange, unveiled the inclusion of WBETH as a fresh collateral asset for traders on both their Cross Margin and Isolated Margin platforms. This update also ushered in a range of new trading pairs on both Cross Margin and Isolated Margin, providing traders with an expanded array of choices.

A particularly noteworthy addition is the introduction of the XRP/FDUSD pair on Cross Margin, a decision that has been met with enthusiasm from the XRP community. This development underscores the increasing recognition of XRP within the global financial market.

This move is occurring at a time when significant players in the cryptocurrency market are broadening their offerings. In a similar development, Deribit, another well-known cryptocurrency exchange, has announced its intentions to introduce options trading for XRP, starting in January of the upcoming year. This decision aligns with Deribit's strategy to diversify trading opportunities and incorporate popular cryptocurrencies such as XRP, to cater to the evolving demands of its user base.

What is FDUSD? 

The introduction of FDUSD, a stablecoin developed by FD121 Limited, has played a pivotal role in driving this expansion. FDUSD operates on both the Ethereum and BNB Chain networks, maintaining its stability by being backed by an equivalent amount of cash or cash equivalents held in reserves by its custodian.

This stability renders the stablecoin suitable for a range of applications, including cross-border remittances, payment solutions, and decentralized finance ecosystems.
