And many others.
NFT
We cannot do without mentioning NFT whenever the wisdom of crypto is discussed.
Non-fungible-token (NFT) is really a source of wonderment, it even amazes me than the way crypto tokens do
Their prices are not the same, they are different and unique meaning 1 NFT does not have the same value as another unlike Bitcoin where 1BTC is equivalent to another BTC.
Binance specially created a marketplace for NFTs where you can buy and sell them.
They even created a set of terms & conditions to ensure users not only have a good experience but that law and order is still maintained.
Added Features
Also in terms of added features, Binance still leads with its many extensions.
Some of these include;
Binance Futures and margin trading
Binance offers crypto futures contracts that are settled and collateralized in their based cryptocurrency; these contracts are also known as COIN-margined contracts.
For example, investors can trade Bitcoin-margined contracts, which allows them to earn Bitcoin when their futures position returns a profit.
This is excellent if you are a long-term investor. Investors are more likely to hang on to their cryptocurrencies, especially in the current bull market. Profits from futures contracts may be added to your long-term stack since they are settled in the underlying coin.
Binance p2p, trade at your preferred prices
Peer-to-peer exchanges bring users freedom to trade crypto at the preferred prices.
On Binance P2P, you can not just buy or sell crypto from the existing offers, but also create your trade advertisements to set your own prices.
Binance smartchain
Binance Chain was launched by Binance in April 2019.
Its primary focus is to facilitate fast, decentralized (or non-custodial) trading.
Binance DEX, one of the friendliest decentralized exchanges out there.
You can use it via a web interface at binance.org or through its native integration with Trust Wallet.
And many more!!
Why does Binance need ssn?
If you live in the US or other countries that use SSN (Social security number), then it might be requested of you during the identity verification process.
Why?
Just like every other app, Binance wants to protect your privacy and more than other common apps, they want to do it better.
Binance needs you to complete the identity verification process so that they can protect your account and serve you better.
For better understanding, you can picture Binance as a Banking app that needs you to fill in your personal information and agree to their T & C’s (Terms and conditions) before you can be granted access to their service.
This is to make sure that they become aware of the identity of every single user that uses their services.
Also, due to the complains of governments of different countries about the thefts and crimes that users are committing via the app, Binance team have taken action.
So it is absolutely safe to provide your SSN, Binance needs your SSN to know you better serve you better and hence keep you safer.
Set-backs & Benefits
While there are set-backs for those who have not completed their identity verification process, there are also benefits for those who complete their verification on time.

How many Bitcoins are lost everyday?
A cryptocurrency analyst, Timothy Peterson claims that 1,500 bitcoins are lost each day.

How many Bitcoins are mined daily?
With each bitcoin block taking 10 minutes to mine, 144 blocks are mined each day.
And there are 6.25 bitcoins per block. 144 x 6.25 is 900, so that’s the average amount of new bitcoins mined per day.
This means that at the current rate, 900 BTC is available in rewards every day.
