Binance will list DigiByte (DGB) and open trading for DGB/BTC, DGB/BNB and DGB/BUSD trading pairs at 2020/06/22 2:00 PM (UTC). Users can now start depositing DGB in preparation for trading.

There has been a tension between Binance and DigiByte founder Jared Tate since 2017. Jared claimed that when the stock market was launched in 2017, DGB had gone through all stages of listing and promised to be listed. The founder of DigiByte, who suggested that DGB could not be listed on Binance because they refused to pay the listing fee requested by the stock exchange, said that although DGB was not listed, “garbage” cryptocurrencies continued to be included. On the other hand, the Binance side denied all these charges and reported that there was no charge as said from DigiByte.

DigiByte's listing on Binance came after Jared Tate decided to step aside. Last month, Tate announced that it had decided to withdraw its hands from daily activities due to "greed and widespread plunder" in the industry. The founder of DigiByte stated that he did not leave the project forever and will now focus on developing commercial applications using the DigiByte blockchain.

DigiByte is currently the 37th largest cryptocurrency with its market value and has gained 600 percent since March. The project was launched in 2014 without any ICO regulation and was voluntarily developed without any executive authority, including Tate.
