Some experts predict bigger, global corporations could jumpstart this adoption even more in the latter half of this year. “What we’re looking at is institutions getting involved in crypto, whether it’s Amazon or the big banks,” says Weiss. A huge retailer like Amazon could “create a chain reaction of others accepting it,” and would “add a lot of credibility.”
Such volatility in crypto markets is nothing new. With no formal structure and countless competing exchanges, trading in the digital currency is still akin to settling out in the old American West. Earlier this month, decentralized finance platform Synthetify was forced to halt all trading due to a bug in the platform that provides pricing data. The same software responsible for Synthetify’s troubles was also blamed for a September Bitcoin crash.

While supported in the United States, this is not entirely accurate, despite what the name suggests. Unfortunately, while most users in the U.S. can use this platform, it is not available in all states. Currently, the platform is only available in 43 of the 50 U.S. states. This is far from perfect, and the company has said that it plans to launch in all states by the end of the year. Whether this will happen remains to be seen.

After all, gold is often touted as the ultimate inflation hedge, yet it’s still subject to wild volatility — more so than many developed countries’ fiat currencies.
Since the Great Recession ended more than 12 years ago, growth stocks have been the talk of Wall Street. Historically low lending rates and an accommodative Federal Reserve have paved the way for fast-paced companies to borrow cheaply in order to hire, acquire, and innovate. A report from J.P. Morgan Asset Management, a division of JPMorgan Chase, found the average annual return for companies that initiated and grew their payouts between 1972 and 2012 completely trounced the average annual return of companies that didn't pay a dividend over the same four-decade span (9.5% vs. 1.6%).

BEIJING (AP) — China’s biggest banks promised Monday to refuse to help customers trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies after the central bank said executives were told to step up enforcement of a government ban.

The flag-wavers point to these and other concerns to warn that SafeMoon may not, in fact, be safe.
Based in San Francisco, Binance.US is operated by the U.S.-registered company BAM Trading Services which acts as its official partner. Its relationship with the international Binance franchise is strong enough for Binance.US to be designated as its “arm”, yet the Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao claims that he has no "legal titles" or an "operational role" in it. Binance.US is headed by Catherine Coley, a former executive at Ripple.
Although CZ is the leader of Binance, he is not in charge of running Binance.US. In fact, in April 2021, Binance.US announced that it hired Brian Brook as its CEO. Brian Brooks is a former Coinbase executive who also served as Donald Trump’s Acting Comptroller of the Currency.
It was a wild ride for SafeMoon, with its prices exploding in the first few weeks before crashing down.
The day after April 20, a day celebrated by marijuana enthusiasts, the SafeMoon team hosted an AMA with two of its members who joined by live video from a crypto conference in Miami. Instead of just providing updates on the token, Thomas Smith, SafeMoon’s chief technical officer, wandered around the conference floor in an unfocused way to capture attendee shoutouts and show off a painted Porsche.
SafeMoon technically isn't a cryptocurrency but a DeFi token, according to its website.
In the meantime, cryptocurrency users (and nonusers intrigued by cryptocurrency’s promise) need to remain ever-mindful of the concept’s practical limitations.
