SafeMoon was created by Karony and two of his fellow developers from TANO, a Provo, Utah-based video game studio with a bare-bones website. It launched in March with a big social media push, including a giveaway of 100 billion tokens (then trading for less than $0.00000001 each) for “lucky winners” who followed @safemoon, liked and retweeted then tagged three friends.
Ahead of the SafeMoon wallet release, its eponymous native token’s price was on a steady upward crawl. Beginning the week at $0.00000184, it made its way up to $0.00000365 by August 28. However, this proved a brief moment in the sun for SAFEMOON as two hours after the wallet’s intended release, the price crashed back down to $0.00000292. From this figure, the token’s value has continued to tumble. At time of press, SAFEMOON was down 22.2%, with a value at that time of $0.00000281.

Each major cryptocurrency has its own Wikipedia page providing an introduction to the cryptocurrency.

Since 2017 Binance has grown quickly to reach its current position. However, the rise of this crypto giant was not smooth. In the quickly changing environment of cryptocurrency, government regulations are often several years behind the cutting edge. This was the case for Binance, which came into repeated conflict with government regulations of multiple countries in the years after it was founded, including, eventually, the United States. Originally founded in China, Binance has since moved its headquarters several times.
