Binance Custody Adds $NEAR Token
Binance Custody adds $NEAR token and NEP-141 standard to its infrastructure. Binance Custody enables any institutional user with NEAR holdings to make use of their highly secure storage infrastructure.
The integration also makes it easier for Binance Custody to provide future support for any NEP-141 compatible tokens from projects building on NEAR.
For those not yet in the know, NEP-141 is simply a set of rules that determine how tokens on NEAR can operate. It’s an upgrade from the earlier NEP-21 standard by being simpler for users and developers as well as being cheaper and more efficient.
