Binance.US has announced that it will now list Avalanche (AVAX) and soon allow deposits for trading. Open trading on AVAX/USD and AVAX/USDT pairs is set to commence on 18 November, as per a notice released by the exchange.

“This effort combines the speed, resilience and adaptability of Avalanche, and Deloitte’s Fortune 100 enterprise knowledge.”

Earlier in November, Avalanche had also formed a $220 million Blizzard Investment Fund to attract more developers. The next initiative after a $180-million DeFi scheme which saw participation from protocols like Aave and Curve. Recently, Grayscale also announced that it is considering adding Avalanche as an asset.
