Following increased adoption of Pepe (PEPE) and Floki (FLOKI), the most internationally regulated centralized exchange that controls the lion’s share of global crypto trading volume, Binance has announced that it will place the two meme coins on its innovation zone.
The exchange announced that spot trading of the pairs of the two meme coins will begin at 16:00 UTC on Friday. However, FLOKI and PEPE’s withdrawal from Binance will begin tomorrow with a listing fee for both coins set at zero BNB.
Some of the available counterfeit trading pairs are FLOKI/USDT, FLOKI/TUSD, PEPE/USDT, and PEPE/TUSD. However, the exchange also offers isolated margin pairs of both tokens, including FLOKI/USDT and PEPE/USDT.
“Binance will add FLOKI and PEPE as new lendable assets with these new margin pairs on isolated margin, within 48 hours from 05/05/2023 16:00 (UTC),” Binance noted.
Specifically, Binance’s Innovation Zone is a special trading zone where users can trade upcoming crypto tokens that have higher volatility than others.
