⚡️There are 13 tokens listed on Binance for futures trading but not for spot trading.
In the trading volume rankings, only TON and ONDO have large trading volumes.

⚡️Eleanor Terrett (FOX): The SEC and the issuers of spot ETH-ETH have started negotiations regarding S-1 filings

🚀In just 3 weeks, the number of USDT tokens issued on the TON network has exceeded 230,000,000 tokens — this is the most successful stablecoin launch in Tether's history across all blockchains.

⚡️The latest development in the MEME TOKEN segment on Solana is the NationFi sector, where each token represents a specific country.

After 9 years, another Ethereum ICO participant woke up and moved 1960 ETH ($5.9 million). They got the coins in 2015 for $0.31 each.

⚡️In May, Binance plans to launch a new spot trading tool that allows users to track and automatically replicate trades from some of the platform's leading traders.

🚀Bitcoin’s fourth halving took place, slashing new coin issuance in half and setting the stage for potential price surges.

Unique this year, Bitcoin reached a new high of $73,000 in March, fueled by the launch of U.S. spot ETFs which now manage over $50 billion — more than 4% of all BTC. Historically, the market tends to peak about a year post-halving before entering a bear phase, each peak outdoing the last.

After the recent Bitcoin halving, transaction fees surged but have now stabilized at $34.8.
This followed a peak of $128.45 on halving night, influenced by the launch of the Runes protocol. This pattern of high fee volatility is linked to new tech developments within Bitcoin, causing spikes during periods of intense transaction activity. Keep an eye on this trend for potential future changes. #Bitcoin #CryptoFees #Blockchain
