Binance Adds API User Functionality to Disable Self Trading

Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, has added a new feature to aid API users in preventing self-trading on their site.

Users of the Binance API will have access to the service starting on January 26. The website and mobile applications of the exchange won't be impacted. Binance said that users who decide not to use the service won't be negatively affected.

The Self-Trade Prevention (STP) function will prevent orders from being executed if they might lead to a self-trade, a practice where users trade with one another to make it appear as though there is more activity than there really is. Therefore, self-trading is viewed as a type of price gouging.

The Binance API is the exchange's service that enables connections to Binance's servers, giving other trading companies the ability to access data and facilitating deals.
