Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the CEO of the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has revealed that he has a personal stash of bitcoin in his investment portfolio. CZ Bought Bitcoin in 2014 Speaking in a recent interview with the Associated Press, CZ noted that although a significant percentage of his net worth is made up of his Binance Coin (BNB) holdings, he still has some BTC that he purchased a few years after Bitcoin’s launch. The Binance boss admitted that he had...

The cryptocurrency market had a tumultuous week where many projects went up considerably and then stalled and declined. Starting with Bitcoin, this time last week, the price was hovering around $61K, but it had no plans of staying there for long. BTC started climbing immediately and by Monday, it was above $65K. This continued and on Wednesday, propelled by fresh inflation woes, the cryptocurrency charted its current all-time high around $69,000. Unfortunately, right after...

It was a very dynamic week in the cryptocurrency industry, even though it may not seem that way judging by Bitcoin’s price. And yet, we saw a lot of action in the altcoin scene, especially with memecoins and play-to-earn projects, so let’s dive in. Starting off, Bitcoin failed to produce any meaningful gains over the past week and is only up by about 0.6% throughout the period. Yet, it wasn’t exactly a smooth sail as the price dipped to $60K on Monday, only to bounce above...

Binance recently completed its 17th token burn. Over 1 million BNB were removed from circulation, comparable to previous burns. However, due to increased token value, this is the highest value burn of BNB to date. Binance announced the recent burn on their site earlier today – the 17th burn since the first in October 2017. According to the exchange, 1,335,888 BNB were removed. In dollar terms, this equals $639,462,868 at the time of the burn. Specifically, 1,318,049 BNB were...

After weeks of prolonged consolidation and choppy sideways action in a very squeezed and narrow range, Bitcoin finally broke out. Fortunately, it was to the upside. Over the past week, BTC is up by a considerable 20%. At the time of this writing, it’s trading at around $39K, having pulled back slightly from the psychological and technical resistance at the coveted $40K level. It’s also worth noting that we saw an increased trading volume over the past week, and even though...

The past seven days were particularly favorable for altcoins. This is mainly because bitcoin fails to produce any major gains in comparison, which has seen its total market dominance drop down to 44% – a level last seen back in 2018. It’s worth noting that the primary cryptocurrency is up more than 6% on the weekly, which is in no way inconsiderable. Last weekend we saw an attempt for a breakout, but bears stepped in and prevented it. The same thing happened on Monday when...

The Core of the Hoax Per a report by Bloomberg, alleged members of the WallStreetBets Reddit Forum used the Telegram messaging service to execute a blatant scam. A...

Binance’s native crypto asset has been on a roll in 2021, resulting in breaking into uncharted territory quite regularly. With the latest record coming a few hours ago above $650, the asset’s total market cap went into a nine-digit territory.  After the start of the ongoing crypto bull run in October last year, Binance Coin seemed somewhat trailing behind. While bitcoin and other digital assets were surging with double-digits monthly and reached new records by the end of...

The past week has been overall very favorable for the cryptocurrency market. The total capitalization grew to $2.15 trillion, which is a 17% increase. Most of it came from altcoins, however. At the time of this writing, bitcoin’s price trades at around $56,000 following a quick spike. It’s up 9% on the week and managed to recover some of the losses of the previous seven days. In general, the overall trajectory for BTC has been quite positive. It started the week at slightly...

The past seven days were marked by considerable declines throughout the entire cryptocurrency market. Almost everything is in the red, with the total capitalization sliding beneath $2 trillion. There’s no other way of putting this – the past week was bad for bitcoin’s price. It was almost all downhill. The cryptocurrency was trading in the range between $61 and $63K last Friday, but things went south quickly as the weekend started. Sunday marked the first big drop where the...
