Binance has listed a Dogecoin (DOGE) trading pair, DOGE/TUSD, on its exchange among two others, WBTC/USDT and USDT/ARS. DOGE’s largest liquidity is against USDT on Binance, with over 20% of all DOGE trades taking place with this pair, but this is likely to change with the announcement of DOGE/TUSD. The share of BTC traded in pairs with TUSD has increased significantly on the exchange since Binance added support for TUSD as a native token on the BNB Chain two weeks ago.
