2. Major Overhaul of Futures & Margin Rules
Binance announced significant risk management changes taking effect today and tomorrow (January 30).
• Collateral Ratios: Ratios for assets like DASH and ICP are being raised (making them "safer" to hold as collateral), while ratios for USDP, RAY, and several altcoins (like LUNA, SAGA, and RONIN) are being reduced.
• XAUUSDT Update: The price index components for Gold (XAUUSDT) Perpetual Contracts were updated today to ensure more accurate pricing.
3. The "CZ" Update from Davos
Former CEO Changpeng "CZ" Zhao made waves with his first major public appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos. While he clarified he has no plans to return to Binance as CEO, he confirmed he is now acting as a government advisor on crypto regulations following his presidential pardon last year.
4. New Wallet Features & P2P Support
Binance has integrated P2P (Peer-to-Peer) directly into the Binance Wallet. Users in selected regions can now buy crypto using local fiat currencies without leaving the wallet interface. Additionally, support for United Stables (U) has been added to the P2P platform.
