BitGet to List HMSTR Token on 26th September
In parallel, the major crypto exchange BitGet has also announced its plans to list Hamster Kombat (HMSTR) on 26th September 2024.

As of yet, BitGet has not confirmed whether the token will be listed on spot or futures markets. Experts expect that the visibility and trading activity for HMSTR will benefit from the liquidity provided by these exchanges.

As reported by The Bit Journal, Binance is also preparing to support the upcoming FIRO network upgrade and hard fork. According to the official announcement on 12th September, the exchange will halt deposits and withdrawals for FIRO starting on 16th September 2024, at 07:00 UK time. This is part of Binance’s efforts to ensure a seamless user experience during the upgrade, which is scheduled to occur at block height 958,655, around 16th September 2024, at 08:00 UK time.
Binance has highlighted that this move is aimed at providing the best possible user experience during the network upgrade, ensuring security and smooth transitions during this process.
