Cryptocurrency, the blockchain-based digital currency that has captured the interest of investors and financial service firms alike, has a challenging problem. It can be hard to actually spend this currency like you would regular money.
A blockchain is a shared digital register of recorded data. For cryptocurrencies, this is the transaction history for every unit of the cryptocurrency, which shows how ownership has changed over time. Blockchain works by recording transactions in ‘blocks’, with new blocks added at the front of the chain.
Transactions are internet-based and are recorded in a blockchain. The blockchain shows the transaction history for each unit and is used to prove ownership. The digital assets are best visualized as virtual tokens. These tokens mean something to the internal system and can be programmed to record financial transactions and other valuable information.
It appears the coin became widely recognised on Twitter and many of its posts have thousands of likes by cryptocurrency watchers.
This week, Binance announced it is pairing up with BAM Trading Services — which Coindesk notes is FinCEN-registered and has links to Koi Compliance, which counts Binance as an investor — to launch a U.S. exchange “soon.” That will mean, however a level of disruption for some U.S. customers in the meantime.
Binance and Coinbase listings remain a coveted goal for new cryptocurrencies such as SafeMoon. However, it can take some time to achieve this. For example, Coinbase only listed Shiba Inu Coin in mid-June.
The majority of the crypto currency market saw prices crash once more on the morning of 22 June following China’s clampdown on digital currencies.
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.
However, as scheduled, the Binance community should expect the Axie-listing today exactly at 8 am EST / 5 am PST. As we are all waiting for the event, users currently have the option to deposit their AXS in preparation for trading.

More and more cryptocurrencies are entering the market every day, each one offering a slightly different model to attempt to attract investors. One of the most intriguing cryptocurrencies launched this year is SafeMoon, which looks to take the DeFi world by storm.
