“Good thing Americans are forced on to these dogshit exchanges where they can get completely scammed on unreasonably thin books. This type of shit just shouldn’t be happening. It’s not fair that some get stopped out and some stay in, some get fills and some don’t.”BTC/USD 1-hour candle chart (Binance). Source: TradingView

Since Binance doesn't allow for US Dollar deposits and trading, most of the volume on the exchange occurs against stablecoin pairs such as BTC/USDT, BTC/USDC, and BTC/BUSD (BUSD is Binance's native stablecoin). One other factor to note is that although Binance does have more volume than any other exchange, that volume is spread across a much larger pool of cryptocurrencies than other exchanges such as Coinbase and Kraken. Therefore, it's always important to look at the specific asset you're interested in trading in order to determine how liquid (or illiquid) it is.
According to reports on Tuesday 26 October, US regulators are looking for new ways and strategies for banks to hold crypto assets and address their current rise.
“If you were to wake one morning to find that crypto has been banned by the developed nations and it became worthless, would you be OK?” Frederick Stanield, a CFP with Lifewater Wealth Management in Atlanta, Georgia, told NextAdvisor recently.
Nostalgia seeps in the trends, whenever the price of SafeMoon cryptocurrency makes a continuous price increase, data of SafeMoon forecast shows the rise was followed by a correction between 20 percent and 30 percent, adding to investor rally of buy and sell. SafeMoon, the world’s best-known and most valuable cryptocurrency based on SafeMoon Protocol price rise, has more than doubled in price this year, a wild run that’s reminiscent of its monster rally in the last month that saw it narrow in on the 0.000004 US Dollar mark.
— Allie Caccamo is now an associate doing tech policy strategy at Christoff & Co. She most recently was an account coordinator at Allison+Partners.
Jack Purdy, a senior research analyst at crypto analysis firm Messari Inc., said that while he didn’t know how risky SafeMoon might be, its website makes it clear that it’s designed to get investors to buy and hold to “earn passive rewards through static reflection as they watch their balance of SafeMoon grow indefinitely.”
There is no publicly available information about what percentage of assets held by the exchange are kept in secure, offline cold storage vs. online hot wallets, or if there is an insurance policy that protects investors. You must have a Binance.US account to send queries to the help desk, so we were unable to get more information that way.

Now, to be fair to the bitcoin bros (not great) and XRP army (worse), even the World Health Organisation had around that time started pushing the idea that Covid could be being spread by banknotes (while simultaneously recommending that people should not wear masks), now thought to be “very unlikely”. Even if banknotes were a key transmission vector, however, we are not sure that “dirty fiat” itself could be held responsible, given that the vast majority of it only exists in digital form. Why would you use bitcoin, or XRP, or any other crypto token when you can transact digitally using fiat currencies?

An obstacle to large-scale bitcoin mining is finding enough cheap energy to run the huge, power-gobbling computer arrays that create and transact cryptocurrency. One mining operation in central New York came up with a novel solution that has alarmed environmentalists.
Ripple also put heavy investments into non-fungible token projects using the XRP ledger – a public blockchain. Many experts claim that this investment puts Ripple in the position to be an “Ethereum killer.”
