Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency broker, announced on Monday (18) the addition of five new cryptocurrencies that can be purchased using debit and credit cards on its platform.
The solution directly benefits Brazilians, as the Real (BRL) will be accepted for these purchases. In addition to the Real, the fiat currencies Euro, Naira, Zloty, Leu, Ruble, Lira and Rand have also been added to the program.
Also this week, the broker issued a warning about fake cryptocurrencies that are being promoted in association with its name. Due to the rise of Bitcoin and the arrival of new investors, this is one of the times when scams proliferate in the market.

For Brazilians, the broker notes that IOF (Tax on Financial Transactions) will be charged automatically. Therefore, investors should take this expense into account to evaluate the best way to make their contributions.
Another tool presented on the Binance website is recurring buying, allowing users to carry out the DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy. The minimum investment is R$100, and can be made daily, weekly or monthly.
