Crypto exchange Binance announces its ways to address the misuse actions by account holders. It stated that some of the platform’s features are exploited by users to gain unfair advantages including better fee rates and extending API limits.&nbsp;
To prevent such actions, the exchange plans&nbsp; to reward individuals for reporting misuses and is planning to take ‘stricter measures’ to ensure protection and market integrity. The announcement <a href="https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/binance-addresses-account-misuse-in-commitment-to-uphold-compliance-and-market-integrity-476b16f529d54f9fbb39e4d4ec84837c" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stated</a> that they would provide rewards for ‘verified’ reports. Misuses include and are not limited to unauthorized selling of account access and selling accounts for rewards.&nbsp;
