Yet tales of meme-coin holders becoming millionaires have attracted new waves of retail investors to crypto — along with a growing number of nefarious players. In May, the Federal Trade Commission tallied a record number of crypto investment scams, with Americans’ losses totalling around US$80 million since October.
Recently, such platforms have come under increased scrutiny by lawmakers and regulators. Binance in particular is reportedly under review by regulators in the U.S., Britain, Germany, Japan, Hong Kong and elsewhere.

Steep rises and unexpected dives in the price of cryptocurrencies are relatively common. As the market stabilises, the volatility has slowly decreased, but irrationality will always be part of the trading game.
Bitcoin mining is raising concerns about its negative impact on the environment. According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index, the industry consumes more electricity than the Netherlands and slightly less electricity than the United Arab Emirates.
Yet some crypto watchers have raised red flags over SafeMoon’s unusual structure. It charges a 10% fee to buy tokens and another 10% to sell -- almost unheard of in the digital currency world. Half of these fees are paid to owners as an incentive to keep holding and the other half goes into a liquidity pool controlled by the developers. SafeMoon calls itself a DeFi token, or one that uses decentralized finance to govern functions through software, but it has a chief executive officer and chief operating officer. Critics also worry about the discretionary nature of the “manual” coin burns used to adjust its circulation.
Coins supported currently are: VET, XTZ, ATOM, EOS, ONE, and ALGO. You can earn up to 10% annually through staking with Binance.US, and you may still make trades while taking part.
Mistakes like this happen throughout finance when, for instance, traders mess up details of their intended trades, entering the wrong price or order size. An erroneously large trade, as one example, can overwhelm an exchange's order book, leading to a quick and massive decline. The entire U.S. stock market famously flash crashed back in May 2010, though equities have mostly avoided trouble since that era.
From the rise of meme stocks to the increasing mainstream adoption of crypto, Wall Street has embraced once-fringe areas of investing and finance.
Meanwhile, concerns were also mounting on Oct. 21 that leveraged traders have taken on more risk than they can chew.
Several other regulators, including from Hong Kong, Germany, Japan, Italy, and Thailand, followed with various warnings, with the Netherlands the latest to do so this week. Hong Kong initially raised the alarm over crypto derivatives related to listed stocks which Binance stopped offering last month. In late July, Binance said it would cease to offer all derivative products in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Does Twitter’s new crypto leader signal end to Dorsey’s Bitcoin maximalism?

With the V2 upgrade, SafeMoon contracts will have additional use-cases, driving the token’s adoption higher.
Altcoins also sometimes differ in the method of verification used to authenticate transactions. While some altcoins use Proof-of-Work systems, others use Proof-of-Stake consensus, which replaces miners with validators. Proof-Of-Stake mining requires a lot less energy and fewer resources than Proof-Of-Work systems since Proof-Of-Work miners have to do much more ‘work’ to mine blocks.
Buy-back: Another feature that attracts customers the most is its robust price stability, provided by its efficient multiple buyback feature. By taxing 3% on every traction to support the buyback feature, EverGrow sends these tokens to a particular wallet, known as a 'buyback wallet.' These tokens are immediately removed from the circulating supply boosting the price and producing green candles on the price chart.
