In the U.S., Binance has been the subject of an investigation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is probing whether the platform allowed users to trade derivatives, Bloomberg reported in March, citing sources familiar with the matter. The CFTC investigation is directed at Binance, even though Americans must use Binance.US instead. And in May, the Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service commenced money laundering investigations related to the company.
Developed in 2012 by Toronto-based programmer Vitalik Buterin, and backed by an initial $18 million crowdfund, Ether (ETH) is a cryptocurrency that underpins a blockchain network called Ethereum. While Bitcoin was designed to be a digital currency, Ethereum is a more general implementation of blockchain technology.

But what is SafeMoon and why has it garnered such an interest? And is it something you should look out for?
But the hacks didn’t stop. In 2016, the DAO–a blockchain organization that was based on Ethereum–lost what was worth $50 million at the time, due to a technical error someone seized upon. This, once again, sent shockwaves through the community–but also had the unfortunate impact of normalizing these types of hacks for some people.
In the last 24 hours, Bitcoin peaked at a new record high price of $68,568.85 according to Coinbase.
Safemoon members are now joining in the thousands with competing cryptocurrencies, like Bitrise, and this could continue if the Safemoon team does not address the fundamental issues. However, Safemoon remains one of the most powerful crypto coins out there, but dominance may be short-lived.
Meanwhile, Ethereum also hit a record — rising to $4,837.59, according to CoinMarketCap.
That can mean serious savings for investors, especially compared to some other exchanges. For example, if you want to buy $100 worth of Bitcoin on Coinbase, you’d actually end up with about $96.51 in Bitcoin, after fees. On Binance.US, you’d still have $99.99 to purchase Bitcoin after accounting for the 0.1% fee.
This strategy is set up to restrict the selling of the tokens and instead support its ownerships. The initiative will make the merchants think before they sell the tokens, and it gives added benefit to the current coin proprietors. This technique means to lessen the abrupt declines brought about by the sale of cryptos that result in varying prices and market fall.
SafeMoon had a very promising launch and maxed out at an impressive market price of $0.00001375. Many tokens and coins have price spikes soon after launch as this is the time when interest is at its peak for new potential investments. Investors were hoping that the market price would settle somewhere around this level and continue to rise at a more sustainable rate. Unfortunately, this was not the case, SafeMoon witnessed its market price continuously drop until it was priced around $0.000003458.

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.
Note that backing up a wallet doesn’t duplicate the actual cryptocurrency units, merely the record of their existence and current ownership.
