Since its acquisition by Binance in 2019, WazirX has continued to integrate more features on its platform to improve users’ experience. The exchange recently added Binance Fiat Gateway as part of an auto-matching engine which has created room for users to buy Tether (USDT) straight from Binance, unlike the Indian rupee (INR), making it easy to trade any cryptocurrency on WazirX.
