I present a model of cryptocurrency price formation that endogenizes both the financial market for coins and the fee-based market for blockchain space. A cryptocurrency has two distinctive features: a price determined by the extent of its usage as money, and a blockchain structure that restricts settlement capacity. Limited settlement space creates competition between users of the currency, so speculative activity can crowd out monetary usage. This crowding-out undermines the ability of a cryptocurrency to act as a medium of payment, lowering its value. Higher speculative demand can reduce prices, contrary to standard economic models. Crowding-out also raises the riskiness of investing in cryptocurrency, explaining high observed price volatility. 05 November 2021 Refinancing cross-subsidies in the mortgage...

We reached out to Binance and Binance.US in an attempt to confirm details about reported regulatory investigations, as well as to better understand the relationship between the international and U.S-based platforms. We didn’t hear back from officials at Binance or Binance.US, though a spokesperson contacted us on behalf of Binance.US after our review published to provide additional context on the relationship between Binance and Binance.US. They operate as separate companies, the spokesperson said in an email, with Binance.US licensing software, trademarks, and wallet technology from Binance.

Binance begins to restrict US users ahead of regulatory-compliant exchange launch
With all these shortcomings when put against most of the competition, Safemoon is definitely in trouble. There is a lot that Safemoon team needs to do to make the coin competitive.

One example is the negative correlation that occurs between Ethereum and its associated factors around June 2016 (left facing arrows at the top and just left of the horizontal middle of the Ethereum scalograms). During this time interval, one of the most well-known applications at the time, the DAO, built on top of the Ethereum environment, was hacked. It can be seen that all factors are negatively correlated in the short term with the price during this time interval. As a result of the uncertainty generated by the hack, price dropped sharply, but activity on social media and interest increased (causing the negative correlation). The negative relationship can be seen during the 2–4 day band for all factors.
Brooks led the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) before joining Binance.US. At the time, his move to Binance.US raised some eyebrows because Binance is not seen as the poster child of compliance, particularly compared to Coinbase where Brooks worked before joining the OCC.
Contrary to this assumption, if the pair rebounds off the current level and rises above the downtrend line, it could reach $0.000065. The flattish 20-day EMA and the RSI near the midpoint suggest a range-bound action in the near term.
