In an ask-me-anything session mere hours after a successful hack of Binance, CEO Changeng 'CZ' Zhao says the exchange is gradually rolling out margin trading. A stablecoin might be added in the future as well, although which coin and dates were not disclosed. Argentina will be the next location for a Binance fiat-to-crypto exchange, following a recent launch in Singapore. In regards to the hack, CZ abandoned the idea of conducting a Bitcoin ($BTC) re-org to recover the funds. Deposits and withdrawals will remain locked pending a security investigation.
