This is good!  I never heard of Binance until now, but they seem to be better than many exchanges in educating their customers.  They have a very brief article on XRP/Ripple, which you can click for voting it as "helpful."  The more clicks, the better, IMO.

I've used Binance for NEO/GAS. I haven't had any issues and it works as advertised.

nice and everything but binance bitcoin volumes are already tiny (going by cmc data)

I couldn't see where they are based....  Anyone know?

It's good news, but binance website states something about using 'tags' when transacting in ripple or otherwise you risk losing your ripple, so I don't know why this particular exchange requires tags and others don't, like Gatehub.

Binance?  I think they are Chinese exchange (guessing it should be in China).  They are a great exchange...a good list of coins on their exchange, and their exchange is quick....I cannot recall any significant lag when using their platform...ever.

I like them so much, I actually invested in them (their platform - their token allows for trading discounts).

If they are using “destination tags” or “id tags” for your XRP wallet it is because you do not have (they do not offer)an individual wallet on that platform. Instead, the exchange holds a pool of IOU’s and your share of that is identified by the ‘id tag number”. Hence, if you forget to quote the “tag” number when transacting xrp in to the Binance wallet you may loose it.

Bittrex also use the ‘tags’ for xrp.

Yes any exchange that has a pooled wallet needs the destination tag to identify the user involved.  Many are like that.  Mother-of-Dragons may I gently point out though, that transferring out doesn't always need a tag unless it is to another pooled wallet.  Another point is that you probably haven't lost the XRP... if you can find the transaction hash they will probably adjust your balance up for you.  Even if you can only identify the amount and time you might be able to get it sorted.

But you would be foolish to rely on that...

Agreed Tiny..... I was being a little extreme lol  I made some adjustments to my answer. Thank you.
