This setup allows trading while assets remain with external custodians. These efforts signal the firm\u2019s aim to meet institutional standards while maintaining its dominant trading presence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In another push toward integration with traditional finance, Binance partnered with Spain\u2019s BBVA bank in August.
