Binance customers have traded against themselves with real money for six years

Apparently, trading against oneself is so commonplace at Binance that the exchange is proudly announcing self-transaction prevention (STP). No, STP won’t stop Binance executives from trading against their customers, despite the general prevalence of this industry practice.
