Binance’s trading bots

Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced the launch of Trading Bots. This signaled a shift away from traditional trading strategies and towards automated trading.

Crypto trading bots are automated software that helps you buy and sell cryptocurrencies at the correct time.

Binance also listed out functions that will be released to users by June 2o23 as part of the implementation.

In addition, Binance said that the Rebalancing Bot account will be renamed as Trading Bots. Under Trading Bots new spot and futures grids could be created.

Furthermore, users will have the option of running futures grids through their Trading Bots account while trading on the same symbol through their futures account at the same time.

Moreover, users will earn hourly trading fee savings for the Trading Bots account when they use their BNB balances.

On-chain activity shoots up

The announcement of the new trading feature catalyzed trading activity on the BNB Chain. After the dip recorded on 10 May, daily active users rebounded to a 5-week high in the last 24 hours.

While increased network traffic was a matter of joy for BNB enthusiasts, the chain’s liquidity continued to tumble.

The total value locked (TVL) on the BNB Chain fell by more than 3% in the last 24 hours to $5.22 billion, extending its month-long winless streak.

Investors turn pessimistic

The development activity on the chain remained tepid after recording a steep fall earlier in the week. This was a worrying sign as it indicated that future enhancements on the chain might be delayed.

Unsurprisingly, this impacted the sentiment of investors as they turned strongly bearish on BNB. However, the supply held by large addresses, which was stagnant until 10 May, showed an uptick in the last 24 hours.
